rdfs:comment
  • Act Naturally is a song by The Beatles, originally written by Johnny Russell and Voni Morrison. It was released on the Help! album, and was also a single backed by Yesterday.
  • The song was first performed by Gonzo as the UK Spot in episode 405 of The Muppet Show. Strumming his guitar, Gonzo sings to his reflection in a mirror. When his reflection starts singing back to him, Gonzo is surprised, asking why it isn't imitating him. The reflection counters that Gonzo does ludicrous things. (Of course he does. He's an artist!) Eventually, the two versions of Gonzo turn the song into a duet, during which Gonzo's reflection appears as a cowboy, a mariachi, and a clown. The song was also performed as a duet between Floyd Pepper and Janice in The Muppets Go to the Movies.
