"All Together Now" is a skiffle-styled popular tune written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney for the sondtrack album for the Beatles' 1968 film and album Yellow Submarine. The song was originally recorded and mixed in 1967 in less than nine hours and with only six takes.
The song was featured during the first season of Sesame Street in 1969 and was the final track in the 1994 Muppet album Kermit Unpigged.
Sesame Street
It was performed by Anything Muppets in an insert seen several times during the first season of Sesame Street. A slight change to the line "Can I take my friend to bed?" was the only modification.
Kermit Unpigged
"All Together Now" was sung by the Muppets as the finale for the Kermit Unpigged album when Kermit the Frog finally manages to get his friends together to sing a song. Kermit, Miss Piggy, Fozzie, Gonzo, Robin, Clifford, Rizzo, Bunsen, Beaker, Floyd Pepper, and Animal performed the vocals. In this version, Robin sings the line "Do I have to go to bed?" in place of "Can I take my friend to bed?"
With the help of Harry Smith on the tuba, the Muppets also performed the song live on CBS This Morning in 1994 to promote the release of Kermit Unpigged.
