Floyd Pepper and the new Zoot puppet perform an instrumental version of "Honeysuckle Rose" as the UK Spot on episode 314 of The Muppet Show. During the performance, a bee bothers Zoot and gets into his saxophone. Zoot eventually swallows the bee, and then spits it back out.
This jazz standard has been recorded by many artists and bands, including Fats Waller, Benny Goodman, Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong. In 1978, it was included in the musical revue Ain't Misbehavin'.
