[transformers07fan]

It's funny when Fozzie forgets his line, then remembers it in the end XD

[mediadude08]

@transformers07fan Then leaves John Denver hanging.

[robsvideos227]

not played enough on radio, instead they play a depressing song we all know and actually like b/c of its nice beat - "Last Christmas"

[PLCBROSmanager]

I like this

[M323DeMar]

I remember watching this special when I was really little

but I still <3 the muppets forever

[TheFootegirl73]

My 6 year old has never "SEEN" this though he has heard it many times. What a treat it is here for me to share with him, as I did with my 15 year old when he was still small! TYVM! :O) Merry Christmas everyone!

[grantski2003]

[lpspopular79]

poor frozzy he must be forgetful....

[Yesyfeliciano]

My favorite

[bonkuraysan]

[ginnyazul]

Amo a los Muppets!! Y la cancion.

[saurosnake]

[flipponzin24]

Gonzo would be more likely to ask for 3 French chickens. =X-D

[robnelsonbayvillage]

Enjoy!

[TeteFutuito]

Nothin says "Christmas" like The Muppets!!!

[HiGarrett88]

CLASSIC!

[samuraix73]

It's not Christmas unless I hear this song. The album version differs slightly to the video version. I was smiling all the way through this entire video. John Denver and Jim Henson: two great talents that will forever be missed.

[acefanaticishot]

16 dislikes?....Really?

[Thomz03]

BA DUM BUM BUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



[robomojo100]

Lol....Fozzie keeps forgetting his lines

[Kelski1998]

Classic glad I grew up when this first came out!!! 

[froggy227ful]

LOL this is old

[singoutloud1231]

Lol, Fozzie forgetting his lines :)

[caseyw1286]

Poor Fozzy, he can't remember the words lol.

[MichaelBrookham]

Why does Zoot suddenly show up? He doesn't have any lines to sing at all. Perhaps he was just put in there as part of the band, but Dr. Teeth isn't in there, so it kind of defeats the purpose of putting Zoot in. I would have liked to have heard the Swedish Chef or Beaker in there, too.

[StrikeOfTheAxe]

@MichaelBrookham beaker is in the recorded version of the song :P

[DISN3YW0RLD]

RIP John Denver <3

[rollercoasterdude96]

Christmas is coming...=)

[TheMrsegan]

This is my whole christmas

[Dannyr510]

Lol Animal is just like 12 DRUMUHDRUMUH

[Woytek101]

Fozzie can't time it right.  LMAO!!

[joeywomer]

I remember the first time I heard this was back in the early to mid 90's.

[gaarasuri]

Of course gonzo gets the three french hens. :)

[BoobyBear91]

John Denver :D

[OrphanSeasun]

Is that blond from the band supposed to look like Joni Mitchell?

[mnvikingsfan1973]

@OrphanSeasun

I think Janis Joplin ..sorta..

[aoinatafanboy84]

@OrphanSeasun That's Janice but I believe so.

[uggdance827]

This makes me feel great after the detention i received in december

[uggdance827]

I love Rowlf on the piano!!!!!!!!

[uggdance827]

I love Rowlf on the piano!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Link

[KatsStray]

in response to Bunsen and Beaker: They are on the recorded version but Denver is not. I think Kermit does the first verse, Fozzie the second, and some of the later ones are changed.

[MaxvdKamp]

@KatsStray and @vashthekaizoku: I have a recorded version where John Denver also does nr 1, but Fozzie 2, an unknown muppet 7, Bunsen &Beaker 9, an unknown muppet 11, and Kermit 12 (the rest is the same). But I like this version better, with Animal about the drummers, and Fozzie forgetting his lines!

[Brad41511]

@KatsStray actually, kermit does the last verse, not the first

[PoliticalCowboy]

@KatsStray Actually, Denver does the first verse on the recorded version. Kermit doesn't come in until the 12th day.

[jno1437]

@KatsStray Denver does the first verse on the recorded version. Kermit does the 12 drummers drumming.

[sailorscoutpet]

Miss Piggy's always dramatic.

[kaynainee12]

@sailorscoutpet adorable,right!

[AllSingingAllDancing]

@sailorscoutpet She is such a Gleek. And everytime she speaks I get hungry for crispy bacon. I think I do not like Miss Piggy so much.

[WiseKitsune]

Christmas is only 10 Minutes from now! ^_^

[spicyd2]

@WiseKitsune fail...

[vashthekaizoku]

The version I heard on the radio had Bunsen and Beaker! Where are they?!

[froggy227ful]

@vashthekaizoku idk

[Angryflashlite]

Lol facepalm Fozzy XD

[babyhippo80]

I love miss piggy. she's always been my favorite muppet!

[lovejd73]

Uh... that "mystery man" in the left of the screen is none other than Jerry Weintraub making sure he has full control of EVERYTHING, ha!

[foolintherain100]

john must feel wierd smiling with these puppet things next to him lol

[StickmanShifter]

Way to ham it up, Miss Piggy

[beachcomber20]

31 yrs ago ..wow! another christmas classic ..thank you for sharing ..Merry Christmas !

[GenBirdman1980]

Ironically, if you've seen the show, gonzo says the hens

[efil4own1]

@GenBirdman1980 He would ask for three French hens. Or he'd just take three of the chickens and head to Paris, where they're more laid back about that sort of thing...:)

[SarinhaIris]

Great song, and great singers! Love it! Love the Muppets :)

[carlsun98]

wht the heck, a mysterious man comes in at top left corner

[deaglepower1]

i love the muppets!!

[fucgoof]

C'mon Fozzy

[SmileySings]

Lol at animal!

[IsaiahThirtyEighteen]

best video ever!!!!!

[klarissa5]

:) me, my mom and grandma all sang this today in the car on the way home from christmas shopping :D

[AllSingingAllDancing]

@klarissa5 I like your family! One year later, I hope you all are happy and doing well. And I hope you ALL sing it again this year!

[bloofan06]

I miss John Denver... " Five Gold rings... ba da da dum..."

[iristhevampiress]

Get with the program, Fozzy!

[pophits]

Who's the little frog on John Denver's shoulder? He's so cuuuuutttee!

[efil4own1]

@pophits That's Kermit's nephew, Robin.

[CandieBears]

And our children will never watch shows like this ever again! its either anime.. or other stupid shows! How i miss the 80s & 90s

[choirfreak26]

@CandieBears Amen to that!

[ReneeOfTheFae]

@CandieBears I adore the muppets and shows like Gummi Bears, Care Bears, and others from the 80's and 90's. But, wha't's your beef with anime? There are better shows than Naruto, Pokeman and Bleach. Check out Films like "The Cat Returns," "My Neighbor Totoro" or "Howl's Moving Castle" by Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli. It may alter your perception of anime, if only a little.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! *^_^*

[lovelygoldensparrow]

@ReneeOfTheFae You tell'em! I love your knowledge of anime.

[bobjfs]

I do miss John Denver. Sigh.

[PamScottSabrina]

the is the best version of the 12 days of Christmas...no one can sing it like Miss Piggy...lol

[ElJorro]

only 32 days till Christmas!

[MsSaskia1996]

it`s so nice

I love it

[SallyMascotita]

They are all lovely!!!!! It is a pity not to have John Denver with all of us anymore.

[SokaRoxMySox]

Everytime my family and I sing this song, we always do the ba dum bum bum part. It makes us happy. Either that or we sing the Bob and Doug Mackenzie version. Oh yeah, we have good times in my house.

[09panic]

FOZZY! get it right!

[idealsweetlove]

wow,, i can't believe this was from 1979, they year i was born. love it

[CheyRocksify]

I love the muppets! So great! :)

[HPPEVidoes]

IMFAO 3:12! thats one badass muppet ;P

[athenacat96]

Figured it out. All in all... 12 partridges in pear trees 22 turtledoves 30 French hens 36 calling birds 40 gold rings 42 geese a-laying 42 swans a-swimming 40 maids a-milking 36 ladies dancing 30 lords a-leaping 22 pipers piping 12 drummers drumming And total that is 364 presents. Someone had way too big of a Christmas shopping budget!

[zsuzsi74]

look at 3:12

[FiestaMoney]

5 Golden Toque's ....

:-)

[alisonlp1969]

John was absolutely brilliant doing this brilliant song with the muppets, and I thought that was fantastic as ever.

Rest in Peace John, God Bless.

[Philosofy3]

Oh Fozzy, we still love you

[Jesso26Cody]

[ImitationOfChris]

My mom has this on LP. Absolutely a part of my Christmas since I can remember.

[maisiecakes101]

This is my favorite christmas album ever. We had it on vinyl when I was a kid, and we have it on CD now. I force the whole family to listen to it every year.

[mtsthelensgirl]

I saw an interview with John Denver talking about this song. At the end, everyone said "Merry Christmas" to each other, but John said he had a tape with an alternate ending in which Miss Piggy says "Merry Christmas Jonathan and Thank You For Last Night!" and Kermit says "WHAT!?!"

[XxTomRiddleFanXx]

@mtsthelensgirl No freaken Kidding???

[joncurtis199]

I love the way Denver has naff all to do after the first line haha

[mirinator]

[crim1law2]

On the third day of christmas my truelove gave to me three french hens, on forth day of christmas my truelove gave to me four calling birds.

[jbeg1]

It's just not the same without the "ba bum bum" after 5 gold rings...I remember listening to this with my cousin over and over again one year. The other song we played over and over was the one that goes "Christmas is coming, the goose is getting fat..."

[amymwatts]

But jbeg, they do get the ba bum bum in, at least on the 12th verse!

[NostalgiaGamer]

I love the muppets this is making me cry cause I love them all. Kermit was always my favorite

[luvjoejonas14444]

[DoomBugOfDoom]

Remembering the Muppets puts a tear to my eye ;-;

[staplestaples]
