Piano Concerto No. 1

Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 1 in B-flat minor was performed by Victor Borge under the baton of Bobby Benson with the Infant Symphony in episode 405 of The Muppet Show. Their rendition consists of Borge playing piano and an all-baby-member orchestra made up of a drum set, timpani, kazoo, toy piano and guitar. Interjecting the concerto, Borge and ensemble segue into the French melody most popularly known as the tune to "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star," the "Colonel Bogey March", and "Pop Goes the Weasel."
The music was later heard on Sesame Street in Episode 3217, where Biff tries to play a recording of the song with a bowling ball stuck to his hand on the piano, as well as another segment in 1997 with Elmo and Zoe where they cooperated with ballet dancers Lourdes Lopez and Jock Soto.
