Promotional photo with Mary Roos
Mary Roos (b. 1949) is a German recording artist who appeared in a specially filmed insert for Die Muppet Show, in the re-edited version of Episode 121 of The Muppet Show.
As part of a deal for German distribution of The Muppet Show, the Mary Roos spot replaced Twiggy singing "In My Life" with "Komm Zu Mir" (in English "Lean On Me"). Redubbing the original segue, Gonzo introduces her but, in a bit of German wordplay, confuses her last name with other flowers until Fozzie corrects him. The full Roos segment was shot with the actual Muppet performers and dubbed later.
As a prelude to the number, she banters with Rowlf on piano. Backing vocals are by two female Whatnots and Janice. Zoot plays sax, Janice plucks the guitar, Animal is on drums, and for the first, last, and only time Floyd on the bongos.
In 1984, she performed on the children's variety special Grosse Show für kleine Leute, on which Uncle Traveling Matt made a guest appearance as well.
Her other TV credits included her own series (1971-1973) and appearances on Peter Alexander präsentiert Spezialitäten and the German version of What's My Line?
