"The Ying Tong Song" was performed by a group of Whatnots in a wall painting on The Muppet Show episode 520.

The song was written by Spike Milligan for The Goon Show, a 1950s British radio comedy starring Milligan, Peter Sellers, and Harry Secombe. "Ying tong iddle i po" was a recurring phrase on The Goon Show, which specialized in silly catchphrases like "needle nardle noo," "he's fallen in the wa-ater," and "you can't get the wood, you know."
