"Pass That Peace Pipe" was performed as the UK Spot for The Muppet Show episode 414.
A rousing song about making peace, Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem provide pseudo-Native American rhythms while a singing group of four dogs (Lyle, Baskerville, Muppy, and Wolfhound) chant the lyrics. In keeping with the murder mystery theme of the episode, and in contrast to the lyrical command to "bury that tomahawk," the quartet are dispatched one by one, killed by hatchets and arrows. Animal also takes a hatchet to the head, but remains gleefully unharmed.
Rowlf the Dog and Jimmy Dean previously performed the song on The Jimmy Dean Show.
