Fozzie sings "The Pig Got Up and Slowly Walked Away" in episode 209 of The Muppet Show. The song, about a woman discovering a boozing man keeping company with a pig, offends a number of pig cast members, including Link Hogthrob, Dr. Julius Strangepork, Lydia, and Hoggie Marsh.
Big Bird can be heard briefly singing the song in Episode 1207 of Sesame Street. He also quotes it while chatting with Luis in Episode 2381.
A version of the song recorded by Bob Gibson (under the title "The Pig and the Inebriate") was previously used on Sam and Friends on March 23, 1960.[1]
