The song is in B Minor and mimics Eastern European folk music, which is fitting for the Count's [[VampireVords Bela Lugosi-esque accent]].
**The show also did this with the beginnings of the "Slimey to the Moon" season-long story arc! When the Wiggleprise rocket carrying Slimey and 4 other worm astronauts successfully launches, the ending shots of it flying through space are accompanied by a serious and triumphant "The Planets, Mars Suite"-like music score.

** The 1996 theatrical short made for Loews Theaters, ''Don't Forget to Watch the Movie'', had every Muppet on the show at the time in a theater singing a song about the theater and what not to do in it, starting out with the standards (No smoking, no talking, etc.) before branching out into more outlandish things which would only be an issue in a place like Sesame Street (No surfing, no dancing with bears, no eating the seats, no pulling your friend's nose off and sticking it to someone else).

* KidAppealCharacter: Obviously all of the Muppets count as this, but in season 1, Bert, Ernie, Big Bird and Oscar were more like broadly comedic characters that kids and parents could find entertaining. In season 2, Big Bird became more childlike and Grover, with his furry exuberance, became a fast favorite among younger viewers. Then in TheEighties, Elmo became this ''big time'', with the show's audience skewing younger along with his popularity. Later characters like Zoe and Abby Cadabby were created specifically for Kid Appeal.

When Humphrey tells the pig that the maid came to his hotel room every day to clean it, the pig tells him that that's exactly why he's checking out; he prefers for his hotel room to be a pigsty.

After, of course, Benny moves out the pig's [[LotsOfLuggage numerous carts' worth of luggage]].
