Udo Jürgens (born Udo Jürgen Bockelmann, 1934) is an Austrian composer and singer. Jürgens' German-language career spans several decades, though he is also famous for having international artists such as Shirley Bassey, Sammy Davis Jr. and Bing Crosby cover his songs in English.

For the 1978/1979 New Year's show Jetzt geht die Party richtig los Jürgens appeared with Miss Piggy, dancing together and singing "Es wird Nacht, Senorita."

In 2013, he appears in an installment of Sesamstrasse's Ernie & Bert Songs, covering his famous schlager "Aber bitte mit Sahne," with altered lyrics. The clip will further be featured on Die Große Sesamstraßen Gala, a musical celebration produced for the show's 40th anniversary, scheduled to air in the fall of 2013.
