Sesame Street: Kermit Sings Being Green

[TheVinylBird]

Glee didn't bring me here...SESAME STREET brought me here

[Bliber199]

KERMIT IS A MUPPET NOT A FREAKING CHARACTER ON ELMO

[Equeen14]

Glee sucks, I'm here because of Kermit... and Damian :D

[reginavespinoza]

I love Jim Henson!

[nellie2581]

It's not easy being green

[GoombaNation101]

Kermit's awsomeness brought me here, not glee



[Chloekkk5]

It's so sad :(

[mikeflynn16]

Screw glee, my childhood brought me here.

[xCokePepsii]

Glee sucks... I came here for Kermit <3

[wijcik]

My internet connection brought me here. I mean come on people. Just enjoy this poignant song.

[lovemypiano111]

This song has much deeper meaning. Being green means being different. I am surprised how few people understand that...

[xCokePepsii]

@lovemypiano111 Apparently you and I are few of the only people that know that... I found that out in an Episode of The Muppet Show.. Season 1..

[lovemypiano111]

@xCokePepsii Thank you for being smart:-). it appears to be a disappearing quality. Please visit my page. You might enjoy some of the things I do.

[xCokePepsii]

@lovemypiano111 Yeah..

Checked out your page! Nice Channel ;D

[puppyluvr10100]

[NIGH8HAWK]

This song put my baby to sleep lol

[folsomjazz]

i cry when i see kermit depressed

[MegRMcLain]

His name is Damian, not Damien.

[mrcadusantos2]

when I get sad, I play this and it helps a lot.

[YoLCSquare]

When I heard Damien singing this song, I thought it was familiar, then I went through all of my old tapes, and heard the song! Then i went 2 the glee sight, and saw Damien talking about it! lol XD

[JonnyRidge]

Glee is gay

[xGLEEKful]

@JonnyRidge you are gay

[Music4UandI]

thumbs up if glee didn't bring you here

[QuickScopes1011]

I Wish Sesame Street Was Back The Way It Was Meaning If Jim Hanson Were Still Alive.

[OzzHardy]

Poor Yoda... I mean Kermit

[IrisBackwards13]

This song makes me feel sorry for a frog... A muppet frog :(

[1Thunderfire]

Stuff Glee, Kermit's the star here!

[MegRMcLain]

@1Thunderfire Um... NO! Have you heard Damian McGinty sing this song? It's almost as amazing as Celtic Thunder! But Kermit is okay, too. I guess I just don't like the muppets because when I was little Sesame Street scared me. So did the Teletubbies, though, and about every other little kid show beside Little Bear (BEST SHOW EVER!!!).

[1Thunderfire]

@MegRMcLain I must admit I've never heard of Celtic Thunder. But nah, Glee has never appealed to me nor this chap. *shrugs* But I guess that's just how I swing. :)

Which part of Sesame Street scared you by the way? I can definitely get it about Teletubbies though (seriously freaky when you think about it).

[AloofAri6]

Thumbs up if you came here because you love Kermit and Damian and just appreciate good music.

[kawaiiSweden]

Glee KINDA sent me here, but I'd heard of the song before :P

[hugeyugiohfan]

@bajeezus1234 Hey this is a Kid's channel, Cut out the Cursing

[bajeezus1234]

@hugeyugiohfan You're right. I apologize.

[EpicDUDE144]

Thumbs up if you're here because of Kermit. Not Damian, Kermit.

[22twigz]

Damian <3

[shiranlovethebeatles]

:( this is so sad:(

[TerryVideoDiary]

i love this song!

[Ashizza10]

Damian does it better......

[EpicDUDE144]

@Ashizza10 As much as I thought Damian did a good cover, It's freakin' Kermit the Frog. Jim Henson will always be the best;)

[peturISosum]

Damian McGinty brought me here.

[sh0paHoLic]

if he was a different color wouldn't he sing it's not easy being _______

[TerryVideoDiary]

[kr1086]

[pewpewee]

[PurpleHotPinkGirl]

glee brought me here.

[sillyzebra17]

Kermit is so cute!!! I dont like seeing him sad... :'(

[MegRMcLain]

OH MY GOSH THAT SMILE AT THE END SCARED ME!!!

[BlackOasis21]

What's Kermit's appeal anyway?

[lizzysan22]

@BlackOasis21 I love Kermit! I think his appeal is he can be level-headed amidst other character's over the top reactions to things.....

[AngelLuluDevil]

Thumbs up if you're only here to listen to the original version of being green, which last week Damian Mcginty sung in Glee. (Liked his version better) No offence to Kermit.

[PivotWarriorAceted12]

i cant belive they sang this in glee by rory flangan (damian)

[MinecraftPIGbomb]

Awww....good times....people passed this over... :')

[reddevil230292]

[edbo10]

This was played at Jim Henson's funeral...one of the saddest days ever :( RIP Jim Henson

[TheReg1978]

Remember people, this is just a song.. It has nothing to do with race and someones sexual orientation!. Go somewhere else with that shit!

[playthecard22]

@TheReg1978 Yes. No song ever has symbolism or social commentary.

[johannhowitzer]

Wake up, Kermit! Green is awesome.  Flaunt that green, man.

[fredfan90]

he should get a rubber ducky that could cheer him up

[VerninTheRat]

I cried...and I don't care.

[nhlredwingsfan]

One of my toads was neon green and he changed color to black lol and I see lots of frogs change thier pigments to match so why cant Kermit lolololol ;; I know people will respond because he's a puppet but comeon he's a frog ;

[Blusay1]

Kermet should be back on Sesame Street:(

[Smartboy8877]

@swankyccs

What exactly are you saying is foolish and why?

[gabyluvsu07]

i remeber watching this when i was liddo and i started crying lol memories!!!i love sesame street

[1372exotica]

i love your green skin :*:*::*

[MrMax12345678901]

i wish i had it on my phone because my grandmom likes it

[fullmetalheartz]

i put this song on (i have it on my moms fone) whenever my nephew cries and he stops :)

[Mike122955]

These video's bring a smile into my life when thing are cloudy and gray.

[violetmist024]

@Sc0rpXLR I'm fairly positive that it was intended to be a commentary on racism. It's innocent and subtle because it's Sesame Street.

[Sc0rpXLR]

I just made a realization right when the song started. Does anyone think that this could be a song about racism -- albeit a very innocent, subtle commentary? It's talking about how he has problems because of his color, and then he says how it would be easier being another color. But then he comes to the realization that not only is being his color special in some ways, it's also nothing he can change. So he accepts it and smiles.

Was that ever confirmed or am I just thinking stuff up here?

[TheDesertsItalian]

@Sc0rpXLR I believe that was confirmed by someone from Sesame Street. There were still many racial problems at the time this was written, and while this may just be Kermit singing, I definitely agree that there may have been a comment toward racism in this. Long live Sesame Street (:

[Swifeaf]

@Sc0rpXLR

I just realized that it's a BLUES song about being green

[firelunamoon]

@Sc0rpXLR I think this song, like so many good songs, could mean many different things depending on the listener. It could be about racism, yes, and also it could be about anything else - like being big, or being different, or being ordinary.

[only1tacynne]

@Sc0rpXLR I think it means what you want it to. Personally I think it's a bit more general, accepting yourself especially things you can't change and loving the things that make you unique.

[deathstar976]

@Sc0rpXLR That's actually the point of the song, Kermit was only singing this as a inspiration to children that we are who we are and we should all be proud of it regardless... everyone knew about this for the last several years. However as the comments sometimes shows, not all are aware of the obviuse.

[bluesaul]

@Sc0rpXLR What a lovely observant comment you've made :-)

[zlink1802]

@Sc0rpXLR /watch?v=w5rceMe-kt4

I came to the same conclusion myself. Though it's interpretative and could really mean anything. Link related, it's Ray Charles and Kermit the Frog singing this song.

[carolinasalt2]

@Sc0rpXLR No, your not just thinking stuff up here...that's exactly what it's about. The lessons of Jim Henson continue...

[TuesdayCM]

@Sc0rpXLR Well it is about racism but not specificly. The song can describe any human quality that makes you different from someone else...so it could be race or anything else like simply the color of your hair or eyes or whether you're taller or smarter or prettier than anyone else. The message is accepting that you are different and seeing how being different is a good thing

[FavGHCouples]

@TuesdayCM have to add foreigner as well ,because Damian McGinty is going to sing this on Glee and he will place an exchange student from Ireland who gets bullied and picked on because he is different.

Love this song and glad to hear it from this point of view

[limofatig]

@Sc0rpXLR You're so not just thinking stuff here. Ray Charles sang that song and after that it lived many lives. I myself discovered it in Angel (Lorne was a green singing demon so it was perfect, and Joss Whedon really likes him a good metaphor!) Go see the wiki page of that song and see for yourself.

[lshocket]

@Sc0rpXLR Uhhhhhhhhhh ya think

[MasterFlames228]

this song is so cute, it's crazyness, i loove green =D without green trees we would all be dead =)

[lightupyourroom]

Fact: Your life sucked before you discovered the Muppets.

[jbet21]

It's so pretty. No I don't mean the frog I mean the song

[KingdomHeartsMusicHQ]

Depression hurst, Symbalta can help. Kermit, I will send you a prescription.

Kermit has always been my favorite Muppet :)

[old3ra]

i want to shoot my tadpoles on him

[cheeseparkour]

wow, justin bieber really fails. the fact that a puppet of a frog has more meaningful songs than him is just embarassing.

[BrockOmalley]

Emo Kermit Oh And Its Easy Being Green If CookieMonster Haz A Cookie Problem

And Went To Rehab and Made Him Eat Fruits

[ilive4gir]

he seems depressed......*emo kid (me) behind screen sighs*

[poppycorncat]

IT'S OK, KERMIT, WE ALL STILL LOVE YOU!

[JesusPaid4You]

JESUS DIED 4 YOU. HE ROSE AGAIN. BELIEVE AND BE SAVED!

[TheDanaeKat]

The Muppet's Show was my favorite show when I was a little kid :')

[TandB97]

92 people are red!

[lhjoe]

@TandB97 LOL! Very Funny!

[mrfuzzsaysno]

this made me cry....

[lashwhip]

Why can't Miss Piggy count to 70? Everytime she gets to 69, she gets a frog in her throat.

[MennerMovies]

@lashwhip Of course, 69, thats when sesamy street started. ;

[rainbowrobby]

i thought kermit is the muppets not sesame street

[kasumi421]

@rainbowrobby Because the majority of the characters on Sesame Street were created/designed by Jim Henson (who also created The Muppets) they were often seen as characters on Sesame Street too. Jim played a few too, before his death, I know he was the voice of Ernie.

[Sgtscorpious]

@rainbowrobby considering theyre made by the same workshop\people, he's both

[unbreakable2008]

90 people are not green lol they are red

[TherealRNO]

I doubt Kevin Clash expected Elmo to take off as he has, since he took the character and made him into the success he's been, after Richard Hunt had originally portrayed Elmo in background scenes and Hunt said he couldn't make the character work, and so tossed it to Clash, hoping he could make something out of it. Low and behold, Elmo as we know him is born and now, Kevin Clash is director for the show, thus making Elmo a bigger star than ever before.

[NotsoGaga4Gaga]

Dudes, plz ignore tat comment. My bro. did that.

[Dovepaw3]

90 people died last night.

[thefemalerapper]

try being black!

[christielov58]

@thefemalerapper RRRRRIGHT! LOL! especially in AMERICA!

[TwilightMemoirs]

Aw, I never got the meaning of this song when I was younger. I now understand that it's about accepting yourself for who you are. AWWWWWW =3

[Imawolfgrl]

For those of you who are green at heart.....Happy St. Patrick's Day!

[shelbyrox15vc1]

............................aw­ww

[WAHarachel]

This song is about racism.

[xTExNECESITOx3]

My mom likes Chevrolet because their symbol reminds her of Kermit's eyes.
