From Muppet Wiki

Oklahoma is the 46th state of the United States of America, and the setting for the popular stage musical Oklahoma!

In episode 317 of The Muppet Show, Fozzie Bear attempts to sing "Oklahoma!", but it becomes "Yokahama" instead.

In a Sesame Street sketch, Forgetful Jones stars in Kermit the Frog's production of Oklahoma!, but can't pronounce the vowel in the song title, resulting in "I-klahoma" and "A-klahoma," among others.
