Sorry for the late response, but oddly enough I’ve never seen that short 1st clip. I’d come up with that idea independently just by way of rewatching that episode. As an avid Muppets fan, it was all but inevitable. The connection to Piero’s original I only learned of maybe 8-ish years ago. Dude did a lot of great soundtrack work. I absolutely adore Crepuscolo sul mare, which I only became aware of through Ocean’s Twelve. Arguably the best part of that entire movie. Outside of Suzy Eddie Izzard’s bit.
