Modulate ! In music , modulation is most commonly the act or process of changing from one key to another . This may or may not be accompanied by a change in key signature . Modulations articulate or create the structure or form of many pieces , as well as add interest . A recurring gag within the Muppets ' musical performances is a character announcing a modulation just before it occurs by shouting " modulate ! " This tells the other characters ( or , in some cases , the audience ) that it ' s time for a quick key change . According to biographer , while Jim Henson could not read sheet music and often joked that he could barely sing , his passion more than made up for his lack of technique . During music rehearsals on " The Muppet Show " , Henson would sing with gusto gleefully announcing a key change by calling out " modulate ! " — a habit that Henson carried over into many of his characters , and a quirk that amused Frank Oz so much that he incorporated it into the performances of many of his characters too .
