Moving right along (phrase)

"Moving right along" is a phrase used to suggest that a conversation or situation is at a standstill, and that the speaker intends to advance to the next topic. The Muppets most notably used the phrase for the song "Movin' Right Along" when Kermit the Frog and Fozzie Bear commence their drive to Hollywood in The Muppet Movie.
