The First Family Rides Again is a 1981 comedy album starring and co-written by Rich Little. It was a follow-up to the 1960s First Family records, which spoofed John F. Kennedy and his family and staff. In this case, Little played Ronald Reagan (as well as other impersonations).
In the track "Bugs" (labeled Act II, Scene 3), President Reagan expresses his concerns about the Mediterranean fruit fly crisis to an expert who he has called in... revealed to be Kermit (impersonated by another impressionist, Roger Peltz). Kermit says he thinks he can handle it, "but it'll take awhile, there's just so many of those little buggers I can eat. But I'll be a piggy for you, yaaaaaaaay!"
In "White House Tour" (Act II, Scene 6), Reagan (who has renamed the White House rooms after movie stars) refers to the Miss Piggy Library.
"Bugs" was later used on the February 21, 1982 broadcast of The Dr. Demento Show, which had an animal theme.
