The Muppet Show stockpiled musical numbers that were originally produced for the UK audience, so these would be made available for American audiences later on.
One such case is a cover of Billy Joel's 1976 hit, "New York State of Mind", which was originally taped for season 2 in the UK, and used in a season 3 episode here. Floyd Pepper is on lead vocals.
Yes, it's a truncated version, which clocks in at just over 2 minutes.
As you might figure, Dr. Teeth was inspired by Dr. John, and Zoot is an amalgam of saxophonists, including the late Clarence Clemons.
