Johnny Cash and Miss Piggy sing the duet "Jackson" on The Muppet Show in episode 521 as part of a medley that also included "Orange Blossom Special".
Johnny Cash and June Carter won a Grammy for their 1967 recording of the song which was released as a single and on the album Carryin' On. The song became Cash and Carter's signature song, particularly after they married a few years later. The Muppet Show performance with Miss Piggy is one of the only recorded occasions where Cash recorded the song with someone other than his wife.
