THE 12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS ~ BY JOHN DENVER AND THE MUPPETS

"The Twelve Days of Christmas" is an English Christmas carol which enumerates a series of increasingly grandiose gifts given on each of the twelve days of Christmas. The Muppets' 1979 version of the song, accompanied by John Denver, employs the normal lyrics, with the humor coming from the Muppets' unique twist, such as Miss Piggy's continual overplaying of the "Five gold rings" line. The original version, performed on John Denver and the Muppets: A Christmas Together, a holiday television special (5 December 1979), differs from the version on the album of the same name, with a slightly different line-up of Muppets and a running gag of Fozzie Bear forgetting his line several times, eventually being coached by Denver to chime in at the right time.
