Tweedle Dee

"Tweedle Dee" is a nonsensical, upbeat, jazzy rhythm and blues song. It was a 1954 hit for LaVern Baker, but a quick cover by white singer Georgia Gibbs sold many more records and spawned a copyright battle between the two. It has also been covered by Elvis Presley, in an early radio recording.
Jaye P. Morgan and Shirley perform the song in episode 218 of The Muppet Show, as Jaye P. complains about the cuteness of the show in general, and the odor of her bird costume in particular.
Kermit introduces the song as "the very first piece of material the Muppets ever did ... about 23 years ago". Jim Henson and Jane Nebel had used the song for The Muppets' first appearance on WRC-TV's Afternoon, performing two bird puppets that lip-synced to the Georgia Gibbs recording.Shemin, Craig.
