"New York State of Mind" was written and originally performed by Billy Joel; it has since been covered by many artists, including Tony Bennett and Barbra Streisand.
The song was performed by Floyd Pepper as the UK Spot in episode 209 of The Muppet Show. He was backed by Dr. Teeth on piano and Zoot on saxophone. The clip was later used as a main segment of episode 301. They sang it again on The Tonight Show, when Kermit the Frog guest hosted while Johnny Carson was away (lip-syncing to The Muppet Show recording).
Rowlf the Dog performed a version on the album Ol' Brown Ears is Back.
