"Ascot Gavotte," from Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe's Broadway musical My Fair Lady, is performed by a group of genteel spectators as they calmly express their excitement at the Ascot races, the lyrics undercut by their deadpan stiffness.
The song was performed by various Whatnots and pigs to open the Camelot medley in The Muppet Show episode 305.
