"Someone to Watch Over Me," composed by the Gershwin brothers for the Broadway musical Oh, Kay! (book by P. G. Wodehouse), became a jazz standard and has been recorded by many artists.

Robin the Frog performed "Someone to Watch Over Me" with Rowlf at the piano for the UK Spot in episode 310 of The Muppet Show.

Miss Piggy later sang the song in 1987 when she made a guest appearance on Dolly Parton's television show Dolly.

The musical sting at the end of an Ernie and Bert sketch quotes the song.
