kermit sings hurt

[Deargodwhat]

I get genuinely depressed when watching this.

[CommanderDogTag]

Still better then the Nine Inch Nails version.

[WoodstockProd]

Poor Kermy :(

[mathias1356]

Trent Reznor has stated many times that he was honored to have Johnny Cash cover his song. When he heard the finished product Reznor said that he was meant to write it and Cash was meant to sing it.

[NinjaUnicornMonster]

Yeah I like Johnny Cash's version, Trent is basically whispering the song

[gillettecrackers]

My dick is pooping. Help me.

[DoctorMandible]

Kermit isn't signing. He's singing.

And he's singing a Trent Reznor song. Reznor wrote it.  Cash's lyrics are different.

[caryssacarmona]

Bad example 4 kids:(

[helpmelord62sl]

@caryssacarmona definitly right about that., why would a kid watch this in the first place

[mpk3432]

i think this is quite well done..... considerin its a muppet singin it

[sparkybob388]

Reznor wrote it but Johnny built it.

[coldstaind91]

@sparkybob388 fuck you, Trent Reznor wrote, built and sung the shit out of it. Cash just covered it with his old man stink on it.

[jarbon5]

Wow, powerful performance!

[superramennoodlejunk]

What is this I don't even

[saneideas]

It's been said a few times before but it bears repeating. This is a NINE INCH NAILS song written by TRENT REZNOR released in 1995, seven years before Johnny Cash masterfully covered this amazing song. The OP really needs to f@#%ing change the info.

[jackblaklover]

This scares me...

[TheNeonpurple11]

SICK

[airsoftmp5a4]

This video is fucking brilliant one of the funniest videos ive seen in a while

[Ddaseandajackson]

K?

[nawdizzle]

@Messaneo, no Nine Inch Nails wrote and sang the original, cash covered it from them.

[TheNeonpurple11]

SICK

[AirlayLeekoh]

is the new Bright Eyes?

[dod1mcb1]

i'm cryin



[badwolf9507]

It's funny if you know the song you would understand it ,and most of all if you had a sense of humor it's the funniest thing ever

[43210Babylove]

<3 It When The Needle Is Hanging Out Of His Arm :)

[Ddaseandajackson]

Dumbest thin ever seen

[Ddaseandajackson]

Stupidest thin I ever seen

[w0mblemania]

@Ddaseandajackson There's always your mirror.

[sandman555210]

hahahahahhahahaha he was jerkin it and doin drugs lol



[steinkonstante7]

reznor wrote ist and cash sang it!!!! by the way it's a cool video!

[Messaneo]

@steinkonstante7 Reznor wrote AND sang it. Cash simply made a cover.

[kuzwawszystkozajete1]

why did anybody clicked dislike? its just a joke...

[destinyloveshottopic]

Nine Inch Nails3

[gyenming]

Why is this so amazing?

[Finalredshirt]

Was anyone else genuinely depressed by 1:40?

[MatthewModified]

Any one notice his hand placement is backwards as the octaves go up and down?

[hotwillz2011]

I would so learn this song... And play it at open mike

[IAmBurger]

leave them alone man. there has to be something sacred to people ffs!

[ZoeAlleyne]

The lyrics are that used by Reznor, not the ones Cash used to make the song a bit less offensive. This is not even a Cash version.

[sm3xything]

keep pressing the number 7

[psycho705]

damn o.o lol this video is depressing

[arieladaryt]

This isn't Cash's song. It's Reznor's (NIN)

[IrishMick115]

Better than the Leona Lewis cover

[thedeadserv]

lol actually it's not Cash's song. It's Reznor's. but I still LOL!

[hidakuzufan814]

Love it

[dirusdraconis]

love it



[dirusdraconis]

destroyed effortlessly large joyous portions of my childhood.

[tonic4497]

Awesome Song

[TheEpicJH]

Damn kermit, why u so sad.

[Anoira]

Kinda strange that this is the most literal interpretation of the song in a video.

[raddd17]

@Anoira I agree, strange.

[josephbehrens]

just to add to the heap of others:

Kermit singing the Reznor song "Hurt" in the style of the Cash cover.

[pukeinstin]

Awww look its Kira haha XD

[fourtwentty420]

OK, it's not "Cash song", it's "Reznor song"

FUCKING GET IT RIGHT

[thebigball771]

@fourtwentty420 u mad?



[PeterL271]

Yeah, but this video is based on the Cash cover more than the Reznor video.

[RufusBandOfApess]

@PeterL271 Not really, it's about half way inbetween.

[Chasewalkerftw]

@fourtwentty420 Idk if you got the memo, but even Reznor said this song is Cash's because his version was so much better. NIN sucks anyway. WWWYKI.

[fzzyirishman]

@fourtwentty420 Lighten up Francis!!

[musicartist221]

@fourtwentty420 why dont you stfu cuz cash sang it really good ight! so fuck you! why wont you go hurt yourself!

[godofthenew1]

is that kermit with kris kristofferson in the photo?

[bobnessuk]

@godofthenew1  It's Jim Henson!

[GonejaDash]

It's not a cash song.

[Createzmusic]

one of the greatest things ever right here ---> this video.

[wobblydog]

This is not the real Kermit, It has no character and the lip sync is totally wrong,

The person operating him is really bad, can't even get the hands to strum with the track

What makes it really offensive is they put a picture of Jim Henson at the beginning who must be turning in his grave because it could have been SO MUCH BETTER.

If your gonna do it, - do it well.

[insaneremix]

@wobblydog I sincerely hope you are joking.

[kindreddrift]

Someone needs to tell Kermit to take Michael Caine's advice...

..."You're only supposed to blow The bloody Doors off!".

Manzarek and Krieger would probably pay more than Rolf anyway.

[CaliforniaJazzy]

Still better than the LeonardFiles Lewis version

[69twangers]

the picture of Jim Henson in the first chorus brought a tear to my eye...

[kosjones]

So wrong..

[Josabeech]

Beats Leona Lewis' version.

[Rexwar31]

This song is Johnny cashs song not nine inch nails

[MyBloodbrother]

@Rexwar31 Nine Inch Nails Original then Cash then whoever then Kermit

[BigGroovyFunker66]

@Rexwar31 i know what you're trying to say but the original still beats the Cash version (just) but i'd say the Cash cover is the "definitive" version.

[darkfieldsofme]

@Rexwar31 wrong, and you're a twat



[TheFatjoe248]

10 times better than Leona Lewis

[hawkeyepierce12]

@TheFatjoe248 ~ I agree. Leona doesn't do this song justice.

[griddamus]

the fact that you see kermit beating off over piggy, and giving Ralph some mouth to, er, you get the idea...

[dhillareguy]

Lmao.........nice work ..funny ,dramatic and creepy

[MrJadexcore]

RAGES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!! FUCKING RETARDS IT'S NOT CASH SONG ITS FUCKING NIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11 KDFDKJLBJDVKSLCFNDKJVJKDRBHJKB­DSJVKSDMFNVKDFVNKMDFHBTGFDKGKJ­ADGRKJGKGRLJJBKSJGRTRKJDN THIS MAGES ME ANGRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111

[IKillSociety]

@MrJadexcore

Hey, hey buddy. Keep your rage down, at the end of the day, its a Kermit cover of a Radio edited song that Cash covered.

[willseke]

now a leona lewis track lol

[jazzygeofferz]

@willseke Dammit. Why? Is it not bad enough that they ruined Hallelujah? Well, I'm sure Leonard Cohen doesn't have a problem with it. Still, Trent Reznor won't mind, as he still gets paid.

[BaileysBeads]

This one hits me way more than NiN's original, let alone Cash's.

[thelollinglily]

D: DID I SEE MISS PIGGY NIPPLE? WTF

[jbaglo]

Sung with more emotion that Cash's shit version, at least.

[huntr7777]

So wrong yet so funny! And I just saw the Muppet movie today! LOL

[consoler3]

NIN, Johnny Cash who gives a hoot? It's all the same tune!

[spitit27]

cash sits up there and thinks "first that snupy dog then those kids from glee and now kermit, are you gona make come back as a zombie or what"

[suzuki15]

HOW HAVE I NOT SEEN THIS BEFORE

[Chiefsplayr17]

Great puppeteering

[Chiefsplayr17]

We all know that it's a Nine Inch Nails song, and Johnny Cash covered it. But let's face it, Johnny Cash made it so much more known.

[tinyhetaliababy]

why did you say cash's song? sure yeah he sang it but it ain't his song its by nine inch nails... they wrote it... not johnny cash...

[braeden77]

Priceless.

[7h3hYp3]

NIN NOT A CASH SONG!!! FIX IT HE JUST COVERED LIKE THIS IS A KERMIT COVER!!!

[ez2chew]

Oh snap, das my favorite Johnny cash song

[nailgunacupuncture]

@ez2chew This is a Nine Inch Nails song covered by Cash.

[erock6796]

PLEASE CHANGE THE DESCRIPTION!!! Its Trent Reznors song originally...plus the lyrics in this are from his original version

[MrAmishjoe]

the number one reason why this is a trent cover, and not a johnny cover....

because quite simply it's trent's song?

[Malexhe]

Because of a past event that happened with a dear friend of mine, Hurt is one of my favorite and most beloved songs and the only song that made me cry. I tried so hard to be pissed off when I heard this version, but goddamn my sense of humor.

[tgolden12]

the best is in the bathtub

[mjmorris025]

LMAOOOOOO!!!!!!!

he wuz all smokin a cigarette

[MrRobson1967]

kujowo...

[19mrbigmac]

littlerat103 he did u stupid fool he wrote it on his death bed

[Peter2740]

@19mrbigmac u sir are wrong it was releaced in 1995 by nine inch nails and cash covered it in 2002 so he didn't write it on his death bed "u stupid fool"

[Bloodfont89]

@19mrbigmac HAHAHAHAHHAHAAAHAHHAHHHAHAHAHA­!!!!!!! No, he didn't.

[MrAmishjoe]

@19mrbigmac " "Hurt" is a song written by Trent Reznor, first released on Nine Inch Nails' 1994 album The Downward Spiral. In 2002, "Hurt" was covered by Johnny Cash to critical acclaim; it was one of Cash's final hit releases before his death."

and to those of you to young to remember, let me be your witness, Had the album in the 90's, saw it performed in the 90's Johnny cash and Trent Reznor were mutual fans of each others work.

[littlerat103]

johnny cash didnt write this song nigger

[AUSROTTENY2K]

lol he blew the dog. i sure hope this new muppets movie earns kermit some money to get outa that dive.

[GreatWhiteNorth111]

Holy crap, i never knew something so badass could occur in life..

[EggHerBlandYam]

God I love the internet.

[rosanaemely]

WTF!!

[munkymoovy]

Terrible.

[CrazyFreakyShitt]

Scroll Up! You're Missing The Video!

[WillzHorizon93]

There are o so many reasons why this is a NIN cover and not cash's version

[karatedavid]

Kermit and Miss Piggy need to cover a Doors song.

[infinity9458]

@karatedavid Totally!

[rebeccaher1]

It`s not a Cash song. It`s Nine Inch Nails, written by Trent Reznor

[BIGGIN2102]

@rebeccaher1  but there are both good

[RubberWilbur]

Nightline brought me here.

[rafaelg45]

@RubberWilbur Me too.



[FoxXxDen]

Like a lot of people has already said before me, Kermit covers Trent Reznor's song, the original track that is SOOOO MUCH BETTER than Cash's cover which is really good too.

[mljohn1000]

Somebody needs to take that puppet away from that guy. :D

[poxierose]

i cried. so much.

[ramses86]

Kermit cussed! and he does coke! O_O !

[angpryncss2]

@ramses86

what do you think happened in the following years of Jim Henson's Death?

[deathisafreindofmine]

i know how to feel kermit

[humphandhumbug]

Genius. I thought the Cash cover was the best version of this song. Kermit has proved me wrong.

[jaeastman]

NIN sucks who cares. youre all stupid

[jerseynights08]

NIN's version didn't go "under the radar" it was huge back when it came out. I think most people here are just to young to remember. Cash's version is soooo much better though. Even Trent has said he feels like he wrote the song for Cash as it comes off as an original when Cash does it. Many people consider this to the the greatest cover of all time.

[sitarbob]

NIN's live version of this was ALL over MTV when it came out... back when they actually played music... And NIN's live video of their song (Trent Reznor's composition) is fantastic!!!!! It is a NIN song and always will be!!! Cash's COVER is awesome... this one is fairly cool, too!!!!

[BlanketOfLinus]

Trent Reznor himself said that this was Johnny Cash's song, because JC did a better job of the song than he did.

[Fleshmaker]

These are the original lyrics by NIN, not the modified lyrics by Cash ("crown of shit" vs "crown of thorns"), so technically this is a NIN cover, not a Cash cover.

[nailgunacupuncture]

@Fleshmaker Thanks for posting correction, otherwise I woulda.

NIN fowr leif.

[artcellrox]

@Fleshmaker You can say it's basically a NIN cover done in the style of the Cash version.

[darkfieldsofme]

@Fleshmaker plus its guitar not piano

[Rexwar31]

@darkfieldsofme wow you are a douchebag....feel good callin young kids a twat? thanks for saying that to my little brother you shit.

[darkfieldsofme]

@Rexwar31 i cpuldnt give a fuck about your little brother you moron. Tell him hes more than welcome to come suck my dick, as are you. Tell him to try being right before he goes mouthing off on youtube.

[garushnagoth]

@Rexwar31 It's the internet. What were you expecting??

[MrSeagull16]

this is bullshit they turned kermit and johnny cash's song into a big pile of shit thumb up

[Finalfntsy70]

@MrSeagull16 But it isn't Cash's song... It's NIN..

[bobbyfett543]

nearly lost it when he looked back at the picture

[reggie46404]

@bobbyfett543 I'm just wondering was he still jerking it when he was looking at the pic. Jim Henson was fugly. Whew!!!

[Wutangspam]

Cash, Kermit, NIN...............In that order!

[NawwSoCute]

you know u reached the top when kermit does a cover on your song.

[reggie46404]

@NawwSoCute I consider this an honor for NIN,

[TeeeGoesRAWR]

Awwwee :) Lolz . Awwwwwwwweeee !

[TheCurrymanEffect]

And funniest video ever goes to.,

[zoroisking]

kermits right hand is backward

[Chrisgodoflard]

This is wrong, he's left handed!

[xXSythenXx]

Please fix this, it's not Cash, it's Nine Inch Nails! People need to get their damn facts right ><

[reggie46404]

@xXSythenXx Cash made the song more popular. I'm not going to lie. I didn't know that NIN originally made it cause I didn't know until I looked up Johnny Cash's version then I found out by seeing NIN's version under suggestions. What I'm saying is don't get mad because someone is ignorant to the fact that a huge amount of songs just go under the radar until someone more popular covers them. They are both great versions period and if it is Cash, NIN, or Kermit singing it the song is just great.

[xXSythenXx]

@reggie46404 You do make a fair point reggie. I just think the original writer should be credited the most.

[reggiemars2k8]

@xXSythenXx I agree. The original writers/artist also should at least get royalties which I'm sure they did.

[reggie46404]

@xXSythenXx I agree with you man cause a lot of people don't do their homework when a song is covered so they assume that the artist that covered the song just had to have wrote it. So many great songs are covered and the original artist never gets the credit they deserve. That is what we call a generation gap. Sad I'm sure but these new generations are lazy and don't want to take the time out to just Google the shit. I hate this generation man.Too damn spoiled. they have unlimited technology.

[alphafactor]

@reggie46404

Hate the generation gap. "google it." Now, just THINK about this...

[reggie46404]

@alphafactor Google what? The only thing that comes up are random videos.

[VanessaMega86]

AWESOME LOL

[petroliumjellyz]

How much is a Kermit blow job? ;)

[DirtyWhiteFellow]

@omg_dirty .....loved it.....kermie kills it man...it may b the shrooms talkin but damn I love it bra!

[duodagr8one]

best version ever..........................­...

[LeeHO6262]

Has anybody here heard Selena Gomez's cover of this? It's better than Cash's.

[HalfAssedJournalist]

Statler: "This is worse than Cash AND Trent Reznor's cover!!"

Waldorf: " Who the hell is Trent Reznor?"

"OOOOOOHOHOHOHOHOHO!!!"

[browneyerosebud]

This is art.

[PakhtunRockHard]

The video is adapted from the music video of the Cash cover, and the audio in itself is more similar to the NiN original version. Anyways I don't freakin' see why people should be arguing over who covered who, just fucking enjoy the song and video :)

[Transfreak96]

:O My Childhood has just been raped....

[burningsinews]

what? so he broke the picture of Ms Piggy then he glued it back again? what does that mean????????? tell me!

[OwlOfBlackRose]

The tag is weird. "cash, girls, kissing, boobs" aside from ms. Piggy there weren't any girls and I'm not even going to count her in the boobs dept.

[countroshculla]

Kermit is masturbating to a photo of ms. Piggy!!

[Nickolas166]

This isn't a cover of the Cash cover, its a cover of the original. How to tell?

The notes being played on the guitar. Cash's version was more melodic, the original NIN version was more Depressing and Broken..

[FiiSKiiS]

@Nickolas166 Also, the lyrics. Cash didn't sing crown of shit.

[adrianspencex]

Genius

[archaist]

Johnny Cash didn't write the song but he didn't write most of his songs. I dunno.

[IOMBananas]

@archaist he wrote a lot of his songs hurt is one of the few he covered

[t00tednz00ted]

cash owns the song, the same way hendrix owns all along the watchtower

[tmaiseroulle1]

Thumbs up in memory of Jim Henson! Today would've been his 75th Birthday!

[lollypopkyd]

you portrayed the life of a junkie very accurately. nice video, man.

[Baseballplayinty]

Technically he is playing Trents version (the original version) on guitar. but I really don't compare those two songs. They are polar opposite. One offers reconciliation. Yet the other talks about your lowest moment in your addiction. all with the same words (okay except for crown of shit/thorns) and almost the same melody. Music = collaboration = love
