  • "Never Smile at a Crocodile" was sung by Mary Louise riding a crocodile through the swamp in episode 114 of The Muppet Show. Along the way various frogs get eaten by the crocodile. The tune of the song comes from Disney's version of Peter Pan, with lyrics which were added later on subsequent record releases. According to a 1978 Muppet Show Fan Club newsletter, this musical number was the longest shoot of any scene on The Muppet Show at that point.
  • "Never Smile at a Crocodile" was a song written for Peter Pan, though it only appears in instrumental form in the final film as the theme for Tick-Tock the Crocodile. It is the most famous song ever deleted in Disney history; however, the instrumental version is played whenever Tick-Tock appears. The version with lyrics appears on Disney Sing-Along Songs - Volume 6: Under The Sea, sung by Henry Calvin. This song was also performed in Episode 114 of The Muppet Show, where it was sung by Mary Louise, Muppet frogs and a Muppet crocodile.
