Julie Sings I've Grown Accustomed to Your Face

Julie Sings I've Grown Accustomed to Your Face "I've Grown Accustomed to Her Face," the closing number from My Fair Lady, is about someone realizing that he has fallen in love only after the object of his affection has left him. The song has been recorded by a variety of artists over the years, including Rosemary Clooney, whose version (entitled "I've Grown Accustomed to Your Face") was used in a comic sketch that the Muppets performed on several different variety shows.
In the sketch, Kermit (wearing a wig) lip synchs to the Clooney recording, singing to a small creature that is covered entirely by a piece of cloth with a face drawn on it. As "she" sings, the creature eats the mask off its own head, revealing itself to be the ever-hungry Yorick. Kermit keeps singing though, even as Yorick tries to munch on "her" hand and foot. When the sketch was performed on The Ed Sullivan Show, Kermit wore a red sweater and pearls to complement his wig.
