Some Enchanted Evening

"Some Enchanted Evening," the popular standard from the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical South Pacific, is a song about love at first sight. It has been performed and referenced by the Muppets on several occasions.
==The Ed Sullivan Show==
*referenced during the "Octopus' Garden" sketch on the March 1, 1970 appearance. The Octopus that keeps interrupting the song with bad puns tells the following knock-knock joke:
::Octopus: Knock knock.
::Clam: Who's there?
::Octopus: Salmon.
::Clam: Salmon who?
::Octopus: "Salmon-chanted evening..."
==The Muppet Show==
*Performed by Bert in episode 102. In a special guest appearance, Sesame Street’s Ernie stands by as his buddy Bert romantically serenades Connie Stevens while decked out in a top hat and tails. 
*Performed by Wayne on episode 116. Wayne doesn't even get through the first verse of the song before Gorgon Heap appears and eats him. A shocked Wanda shouts at Gorgon, telling him that "He said 'meet', not 'Eat!'" This sketch appears in the 1985 Playhouse Video compilation Rowlf's Rhapsodies with the Muppets.
*Referenced in The Muppet Show Comic Book as the title of the second issue of The Treasure of Peg-Leg Wilson: "You May Meet a Stranger."
==Play-Along Video==
*Referenced on Hey, You're as Funny as Fozzie Bear. A comedy bit similar to the one from The Ed Sullivan Show features the punchline "Sam and Janet Evening" instead of "Salmon-chanted evening."
==Sesame Street==
*Parodied as "Some Enchanted Lunchtime" in the early 1990s by two Anything Muppet kids performed by Kevin Clash and Louise Gold.
*Telly Monster played the song on his tuba in Episode 3984.
