Teresa Brewer rides on a riverboat captained by Fozzie and sings "Cotton Fields" with a Dixieland band in episode 222 of The Muppet Show.
The members of the Dixieland band include Floyd on banjo, Zoot on clarinet and Janice and Trumpet Girl on trumpets.
This folk song was recorded by Leadbelly in the 1940s, and has been covered by numerous groups and artists since that time.
