is this a remake of the old one or did this one come out before the other its not easy being green? to be honest i like the other one.but i luv this to
As much as I admire the muppets, this is one of the worse songs ever. Seriously, the way he sings 'Or something much more colorful like that.' just ruined the whole song.
thats the way the song be sang ...... thats the melody, the words of the song..... and not only the song make itself to be good, or bad ........ it has lyrics, musics these days sound stupid and have no meanin ... but if u get this song, and know the melody which has to be sang like that, this song is very good ...... and as u said like that i believe u dont know anything bout Kermit THe Frog, u just like the melodies of he songs then u said ur big fan .... give u thumbs down...
He mentions how people seem to pass him over because he's green, which is evidence enough for me that the lesson isn't about how hard it is to be a minority, but rather how hard it is to be of the lower class.
It's hard to imagine how he would realise that the lower class is actually what he wants to be at the end, but if you think about it, it's the attitude that's the attraction, even in being green. "Green is the colour of the spring" etc etc.

I love how they snuck social commentary into this song, like mike7813 said you can replace green with any minority/group that has a hard time. It is perfection. Anyone know any other disney/muppet or kids show where they sneak life lessons into it?
he he, i LOVE his song, but its got a long story 2 its lovingness from me. firstly, i heard it on the advert, it got into my head n i immediatly LOVED it. I looked 2 find out who wrote it n found out it was kermit, laughed my head off, got embarrassed, told friends, laughed more, and eventually learnt the lyrics! he he
Many people have said that you can replace "green" with just about any word that describes a minority or socially scrutinized group and it is hard to form an argument against it. Then again, why would you? This song was all at once reflective of it's past; in touch with it's present, and ahead of it's future. Jim Henson continues to be a huge influence on so many different people. That's brilliance in my eyes.
"This is Possibly the Best Visual of Self-Love...a Most Important Piece of the Mysteries of the Universe. Self Empowerment in Humility & Love...Honoring the Uniqueness of the Specialness of Us. And when We arrive at this Energy & Plug into Who We Really Are...Divine Essences...this is when "Endless Possibilities!" abound!
Rock On!!!
Love always & Forever,

Pat Timmermans...Purveyor of "Endless Possibilities!"
With this song, Kermit pretty much tells us that we're all unique and wonderful in our own way, no matter how different or alike we are. Thank you Jim Henson, you were, and always will be, a great mind to us all.
Last time I checked, there were no green people, besides, it's a green frog saying how it's not easy being green. He's just saying it's not easy. It's not racist.
You seem to forget that this song is about not being noticed, blending in always. Racism is a form of discrimination, making something stand out. If anything, it's the exact opposite.
I know this isn't sesame st. but has anyone else heard that the cookie monster has changed to liking veggies or something like that. (Madnone comment about cookies made me think of it)
Dude...you're comparing someone who took an original idea, and made into a remix...Even if this sucks (Which doesn't) You can't compare a remake to the original.
This is why I love Kermit. He's not just a chipper happy muppet who dances about. He is also contemplative, insightful and goes on this journey in which he comes into terms with himself. He is very human! Watching him shows us that it's normal to sometimes question who you are or where you are in life. I could get something out of this song well into my adult years!
yeah please don't make fun of me that I waxed poetically about the muppets. ;) MAHNA MAHNA
cait: Knowing you, this should come as no surprise. But as a fellow Muppet fan (wwfpooh from Muppet Central, by the way), I too can say without certainty that The Muppets rock!
I can remember kermit sing this when i was little. Frank Sinatra sang this song before kermit, I had to laugh wnen I heard his version, It kinda suits green puppets better :)
If we all would accept our own greenness, and also eachoter's greenness, there would be a lot more PEACE in this world and our Planet would even be more BEAUTYFULLY GREEN!
it's an inspiring song. alot of people think they are ugly and they wish that they looked different. but if they think about their good qualities, they'll eventually like themselves more, and learn to admire themselves.
I know how Kermit feels because I'm black, and it's not easy being black and female. This song really speaks about what I'm going through on a daily basis. THANK YOU, KERMIT!
Hey! I've always loved this song! It is one of my cherished Sesame Street memories. I remember how sad I used to feel for Kermit as I child whenever I heard it. Those were beautiful times ... when kids were so innocent. Thanks for this video!
It makes me sad whenever I watch or see stuff from the past.. I always get tears in my eyes :(I want to become a lil baby again :((((((((((((((( mommyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

i like this video because when he starts weeing i laugh...look out for at the very very end of the video he starts to wee uncontrolably its quite hilarious
This song has such a simple but powerful message. Maybe it's because Kermit is always sitting, alone, on a rock or somewhere near a pond...his "home"...when he sings this. That's something I've always noticed.

I think this may well be Kermit's greatest moment of glory during the entire run of "The Muppet Show"
