Marvin Suggs and his Muppaphone perform "Lady of Spain" in episode 105 of The Muppet Show. In their first appearance on the show, Marvin Suggs introduces his muppaphone and then "tunes" them by running through a scale. In the tv episode he tunes them three times. In The Muppet Revue the sequence was edited so that he is only shown tuning them up twice. In the album version he only tunes them up once. The song is performed by Marvin hitting the Muppaphones in sequence with his mallet; they say "ow!" at the appropriate pitch to create the melody. The number ends with a giant mallet appearing from out of nowhere to hit Marvin on the head.

Marvin Suggs also performed a brief version of this in the courtroom scene from Alice in Wonderland in episode 506, when he hits members of the jury on the head with his gavel.

The song also makes an appearance in The Muppet Movie. The song is played by the Muppet Labs-invented "Musical Rotating Rain Barrel." It comes in the scene where the Muppets are in the midst of a showdown between Doc Hopper and his men. Kermit walks by slowly and quietly amidst various rain barrels and dilapidated ghost town-style buildings (in the style of a Western). As soon as he passes the rain barrel (which looks like all the others), the barrel rotates and plays the tune rather loudly, startling Kermit and breaking the silence. This scene also introduces Bunsen and Beaker, albeit being near the end of the film.
