Synopsis
Kermit the Frog welcomes the viewer to the Muppet Sing-Along Video and allows us to hear a story about a bunny who travels outside his home to learn new songs from his animal friends and to sing-along to them.

Our story begins when Billy Bunny is at his family home, singing "Hoppity-Boppity", which is the only song he knows. Billy's mommy asks him to go outside to learn new songs. Billy first stops by at a gopher village, where he discovers that every gopher looks the same, despite them having different personalities ("We Are Different"). Next, he meets three bears - Cecil, Edgar, and Percival - who sing a rap about their ways of roaring ("Bear Rap").

Next, he meets a termite who singing about his joys of eating wood ("The Termite Chew"). As Billy enters a deep forest, he meets two raccoons. When he asks them what they're doing here in the woods, they explain that it's a secret and they sing about it ("I Have a Secret"). Next, Billy accidentally bumps into a porcupine. He appears to be fine, but the porcupine invites him to her jazz club and sings "Please Don't Bump Into Me".

Next, Billy goes over to a pond, where he meets some frogs, who sing about their "Frog Talk". Finally, Billy meets a turtle and asks is he knows any songs. The turtle says he doesn't know much... except that he likes to see what's going on around the bay and then does a "teeter-totter" on a rock and swims away. The turtle sums it up into a song - "Swim Away, Hooray!" - and Billy joins in with him. Now, Billy has to go home for dinner.

When Billy comes home, he explains to his family that he knows eight songs, and the one song Billy likes most is "Hoppity-Boppity". Billy's family joins in with him and Kermit thanks the viewers for singing along with Billy. All the animals reprise "Hoppity-Boppity" together, ending the video.
