Japanese Square Dance

"Japanese Square Dance" was written specifically for episode 505 of The Muppet Show by music associate Derek Scott.
In the episode's closing number, the Muppet cast and The Tokyo Tai-Chi, Karate, and Chowder Society attempt a serene "Salute to Japan." However, when Animal grows bored with the serene music and the set is invaded by cowboys, the number erupts into a boisterous musical square dance production combining the Eastern and Western themes (prominently featuring the melody of "Skip to My Lou").
As for Coburn, he realizes keeping the quiet theme is a hopeless task and then plays the square dance caller, which includes prompting the ladies to beat up the cowboys and destroy the set.
