From Muppet Wiki:
"Orange Blossom Special" was a hit single from the 1965 Johnny Cash album of the same name. The song was inspired by the name of a streamline train in Florida. It has also been a hit for many other country artists over the years. In concert, Cash would switch between two harmonicas while performing the song, a skill he demonstrates during his Muppet Show appearance. It, along with "Jackson", was a staple of his live performances.
Johnny Cash and June Carter won a Grammy for their 1967 recording of the song which was released as a single and on the album Carryin' On. The song became Cash and Carter's signature song, particularly after they married a few years later. The Muppet Show performance with Miss Piggy is one of the only recorded occasions where Cash recorded the song with someone other than his wife. The song's co-writer, Jerry Leiber, is best known for his collaborations with Mike Stoller, such as Elvis Presley's "Hound Dog".
