A caveman sings "Alley Oop" for the UK Spot in episode 516 of The Muppet Show. Some prehistoric pigs sing backup as Animal attempts to clobber a tiger, a bear and a brontosaurus.
The song is written about the titular character in the American comic strip "Alley Oop," created in 1932 by V.T. Hamlin. In 1960, it was a pop hit for the group "The Hollywood Argyles"; several competing versions also charted at the same time.
