Three hiking pigs (performed by Steve Whitmire, Richard Hunt, and Dave Goelz) sing "The Happy Wanderer" in episode 401 of The Muppet Show. Unfortunately, every time they sing the third "Val-dera" of the chorus, something bad happens. The first two pigs fall over, but then the third pig gets hit by a bunch of falling rocks, which were sent down the mountain by a goat (performed by Frank Oz).
