"Some Enchanted Evening," the popular standard from the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical South Pacific, is a song about love at first sight. It has been performed and referenced by the Muppets on several occasions.

The Ed Sullivan ShowEdit

• referenced during the "Octopus' Garden" sketch on the March 1, 1970 appearance. The Octopus that keeps interrupting the song with bad puns tells the following knock-knock joke:

Octopus: Knock knock.

Clam: Who's there?

Octopus: Salmon.

Clam: Salmon who?

Octopus: "Salmon-chanted evening..."

This sketch is included on the Muppets Magic from the Ed Sullivan Show DVD.

The Muppet ShowEdit

• Performed by Bert in episode 102. In a special guest appearance, Sesame Street's Ernie stands by as his buddy Bert romantically serenades Connie Stevens while decked out in a top hat and tails.

• Performed by Wayne on episode 116. Wayne doesn't even get through the first verse of the song before Gorgon Heap appears and eats him. A shocked Wanda shouts at Gorgon, telling him that "He said 'meet', not 'Eat!'" This sketch appears in the 1985 Playhouse Video compilation Rowlf's Rhapsodies with the Muppets.

• Referenced in The Muppet Show Comic Book as the title of the second issue of The Treasure of Peg-Leg Wilson: "You May Meet a Stranger."

Play-Along VideoEdit

• Referenced on Hey, You're as Funny as Fozzie Bear. A comedy bit similar to the one from The Ed Sullivan Show features the punchline "Sam and Janet Evening" instead of "Salmon-chanted evening."

Sesame StreetEdit

• Parodied as "Some Enchanted Lunchtime" in the early 1990s by two Anything Muppet kids performed by Kevin Clash and Louise Gold.
