Rudolf Nureyev and the Muppet cast sing "Top Hat, White Tie and Tails" as a tribute to Fred Astaire, for the closing number in episode 213 of The Muppet Show. It is performed a second time in episode 411 by Gonzo, who tap dances in oatmeal. Rizzo and the rats sing a small excerpt of this song in The Muppets Go to the Movies.
