Disney songs performed in Muppet productions

Disney songs have frequently entered the cultural mainstream, beginning with 1933's "Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf?" They became common on radio and frequently surfaced on variety shows of the sixties and seventies. Inevitably, songs from Disney projects frequently made their way into the Muppet world. The earliest known instance is the December 10, 1964 broadcast of The Jimmy Dean Show, when Rowlf the Dog and Jimmy Dean sang "Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah."
For most of the next two decades, the Muppets performing Disney songs simply reflected how the tunes were common musical currency on the airwaves. However, this shifted beginning in 1989, when Jim Henson and Disney entered an initial merger agreement in August, and the first attempts at Disney/Muppet shared promotion began. In the years following Disney's purchase of the Muppets in 2004, Muppet performances increasingly indicated corporate synergy, tied to other aspects of the Disney empire from performances at park and studio fan events to productions intended as cross-franchise promotion (Studio DC: Almost Live, Muppets Haunted Mansion). Typical was Kermit the Frog promoting Muppets Most Wanted in a Mashable video and, in the course of things, lip-syncs part of "Let It Go" from Frozen.
Future Disney composers Alan Menken and Howard Ashman contributed songs to Sesame Street earlier in their careers, although to date very few of their Disney songs have been performed by the Muppets.
