I've Got a Lovely Bunch of Coconuts was used for the UK Spot on The Muppet Show episode 513.
During the song, a gorilla (performed by Jerry Nelson) tries his luck at coconut throwing attraction. Richard Hunt plays the showman, Louise Gold portrays his lovely wife, and the other Muppeteers bring the coconuts to life during the second chorus.
The song was originally recorded by Danny Kaye in the 1950's. It was also used on Monty Python's Flying Circus.
