"Swamp Mushy Muddy" is a Sesame Street song by Oscar the Grouch about the titular location, a popular fishing spot for Grouches.
Oscar sang the song in Episode 0748, with back-up vocals by Maurice Monster and Rosemary, and in Episode 0875. He performed the song again in Episode 1038, now backed by a pair of witches. This version aired as an insert in various episodes. All the versions of the song utilize the same recording.
The swamp is also where Oscar spent his vacation during 1970 which turned his fur from orange to green;[1] he reconfirmed this in 2023.[2] Grundgetta and Oscar receive a postcard from the spot and imagine themselves there in the song "Alone in a Swamp."
