Picture	Segment 	Description
 	FRAME 1 	The Sing, Hoot & Howl club, comprised of various Muppet animals, sing a rendition of "Old MacDonald," with the Big Bad Wolf on piano. Big Bird attempts to quiet things down so he can start the meeting, helped by a roar from Chicago the Lion (the club's secretary-treasurer). Big Bird gives the first song request to a working "watch dog" who represents Acme Watches.
 	Film 	"Cow Dog Song"First two verses cut
 	FRAME 2 	Gladys the Cow was none too impressed with the last film about a dog chasing cows, so she gives the watch dog a taste of his own medicine. Meanwhile, Big Bird translates for a Spanish-speaking lamb who requests her favorite song... only he translates it from Spanish to sheep language.
 	Cast 	Luis sings "Baa Baa Bamba".Edited
 	FRAME 3 	Chicago wants to pick a song, but he's interrupted by the bubbling of Frances the goldfish.
 	Song 	"Starfish" by Joe Raposo (re-filmed version)
 	FRAME 4 	Chicago tries to go next but he's interrupted again by a cricket, who hops on the Wolf's piano keys to play out its request.
 	Muppets 	Ernie sings about "The Insects in Your Neighborhood."Introduction cut
 	FRAME 5 	Gladys returns, having chased the watch dog all the way to the subway. She dramatically alludes to her song request about the pride of being a certain animal. The Wolf guesses it's an aardvark, and Gladys gives the camera an annoyed look.
 	Song 	Joe Raposo sings "I'm an Aardvark."
 	FRAME 6 	Gladys continues to give clues about her song, but a pig interjects before she can reveal the answer.
 	Film 	"Pig's Love Song" (live-action version)
 	FRAME 7 	Gladys sobs and claims she'll never tell anyone her song. Chicago attempts to go next, but Gladys immediately cuts her crying act and tries to say what her song is about. The other animals answer in unison before she does: "A cow!"
 	Muppets 	Gladys sings "I'm Proud to Be a Cow".framing sequences cut
 	FRAME 8 	Gladys wants to pick a second song but the others groan, complaining it'll be another cow song. Gladys reassures them that it's about everyone, not just her.
 	Muppets 	"We Are All Earthlings"
 	FRAME 9 	Chicago roars to draw attention to his request: a song about "cute, little babies." Big Bird admits he doesn't think they have a song about babies so Chicago roars again, which makes Big Bird and the others quickly reconsider.
 	Song 	Joe Raposo sings "What Babies Are Called"
 	FRAME 10	Big Bird tries to settle a dispute between a chicken and an egg, who both have different song requests. Big Bird wonders which comes first, which sets off another argument.
 	Song 	Joe Raposo asks the musical question, "Which Comes First, the Chicken or the Egg?"Beginning cut
 	Muppets 	Little Chrissy and the Alphabeats sing "Cluck Around the Clock."
 	FRAME 11	As the credits roll, the club finishes by singing a reprise of "Old MacDonald," with verses to include a duck, a horse (Buster), and an elephant.
