Weirdly enough, the original song is from an Italian soft-core porno movie called "Sweden - Heaven and Hell". Here is the link explaining the origins and incorporation into the Muppet song:
Either Jim Henson and his staff were in the dark as to the true origins of the song or they were perpetrating a clever inside joke for the adults "in the know" to enjoy while they were forced to listen to the Muppet songs ad nauseum.
RIP, JH!
Wow, we have a winner !!!!!!!!!! The song was written and produced by the Italian maestro Piero Umiliani for the sexploitation film - Svezia, inferno e paradiso (Sweden: Heaven and Hell). Good job Marburk ! PM me for your exclusive JD

I wanted to nominate a song with a bit of a classical bent;
Rob Dugan Will You Follow Me
Your best bet is to google it, the youtube video will pop right up. Fabulous for winding roads!
I first heard it on Top Gear, and used an iPhone app to identify it. Turned out I already had the CD. Note to self; listen to all the tracks.
That is really, really good. For a serious offering on driving music (because my next post will be in the "cheesy/groan" them on this thread), I also suggest any track from NFL Films "Autumn Thunder"
This should be perfect driving music for Johnny Danger (and any secret agents in training) - memorable lyrics from our youth, but with a more hip beat; Speed Yellow vehicle; and innuendo-laden lyrics.

Here is a techno-type track from Swedish muscian Bo ("Bosse") G. Eriksson from the group "E-Type Club." I used to listen to this while driving when I still had my '63 XKE roadster, for obvious reasons.
