- "The Entertainer" is a ragtime song (or a "rag") composed by Scott Joplin in 1902. Improbably, the instrumental composition became a top 10 hit in the 1970s as the theme music to the acclaimed film, The Sting. Phyllis Diller, backed by the orchestra, performs "The Entertainer" on the saxophone in The Muppet Show episode 118. The number is played for comedy, as she misses many of the notes and the saxophone frequently squeaks. In this performance, the orchestra members include Rowlf the Dog, Floyd Pepper, Zoot, Animal, Nigel, Trumpet Girl, and a Pig. On episode 203 of The Muppet Show, Milton Berle explains to Rowlf that few people realize there are lyrics for the song before singing the first verse as a simple recitation with only Rowlf's piano accompaniment. He is then joined by a chorus of Muppets that includes Fozzie Bear, Scooter, Lydia, a Bouncing Borcellino Brother, a clown girl, and a pair of Whatnots who sing the second verse with a full arrangement before returning to Berle's solo. Fozzie's appearance in the number is out of character with his behavior in the rest of the episode, in which he is hiding from Milton Berle. Miss Piggy reprises the number for the UK Spot in the same episode. Kermit the Frog and Pepe the King Prawn sang a song to the tune of "The Entertainer" in a commercial for V-Chip. In a Super Grover 2.0 segment, a group of penguins try dancing to the song, but find a large block of ice is in their way.

- Fran Katzenjammer (Tamsin Greig) buys a piano in the hope of being able to play, and places it in Black Books, the shop run by Bernard Black (Dylan Moran), much to Bernard's annoyance as he has a hangover. Manny Bianco (Bill Bailey) enters and warns Bernard not to sell the last copy of Blue Sands, as it has been reserved for Mr. Williams, a very aggresive and violent customer. Kate (Nina Conti) enters the shop in order to buy Blue Sands. Bernard, who is immediately attracted to her, immediately gives the book away without asking for her to pay. A surprised Kate leaves the shop, only for Mr. Williams to enter. Bernard rushes up to him and lies that Manny had sold the last copy, much to Williams' annoyance. Later that day, Fran is failing to impress Josef Slavanski (David McKall), a blind, Russian piano teacher who has a habit of whipping people with his cane when they miss a note. An unhappy Fran continues to play a disasterous rendition of 'Three Blind Mice', much to Josef's annoyance. Meanwhile, Bernard and Manny meet at a cafe. An annoyed Manny shows Bernard his black eye, given to him by Mr. Williams, and insists on him having the weekend off. Bernard interupts him when he spots Kate on the other side of the restraunt. Manny bets him that if Kate goes out with him, then Manny can have the weekend off. Bernard agrees to the bet, and to his surprise, Kate agrees to go out with him. Meanwhile back at the shop, Fran is struggling to perform to Josef's high standards, and at the end of the lesson, Josef insists on her practicing all evening. Bernard and Manny return to find Fran sulking. However, once Bernard goes out to the pub, Fran quickly follows. Manny turns on the radio and hears classical music playing. He sits down and after playing a few notes, begins to play what is playing on the radio with incredible accuracy. An amazed Manny tunes the radio to a jazz song, which he copies perfectly, improvising by playing some of the notes with his foot. The next day, Manny finds Fran and Bernard, moaning and wearing sunglasses, as they are hungover. Manny shows them his piano skills, however, Josef enters while he is playing, thinking it is Fran. Fran sits beside Manny and tells Josef that she had been practicing yesterday, like he had said. An amazed Josef asks for her to play Bach, however, she lies that she is not ready for Bach yet, but he insists on coming around the next day to hear her play. Throughout the day, Bernard coaches Manny and hits him with a fly swat whenever he disobeys. When Bernard orders Manny to make tea, Kate enters the shop. Seeing Bernard beside the piano makes her think that he can play and asks for him to play a song. Bernard runs into Manny and persuades him to get inside the piano and play the notes from there while he pretends to play from the exterior. After witnessing Bernard's apparant talents, Kate insists on taking him out for a drink. An exhausted Manny clampers out from inside the piano and decides to go to the pub and get drunk. The next day, Manny is suffering from a severe hangover, and refuses to oblige when Fran asks him to play in front of Josef again. Fran decides to tell Josef the truth, however, when he arrives with his whole family, she cannot muster the courage to confess and is forced to persuade Manny to climb back into the piano and hoodwink Josef again. Only to make things worse, Kate enters the shop, and insists on Bernard and Fran dueting together. Despite a seemingly impossible task, Manny is able to play in such a way that it sounds like a duet. However, he is extremely tired, and secretly climbs out of the piano and leaves the shop. Fran and Bernard, still thinking that Manny is inside the piano, get cocky and claim to be able to play a song called 'Flight of the Seven Million Bumble Bees', only to discover that Manny has left and they have been discovered. The episode ends with an upset Fran signing a contract to have the piano taken away.
