@59771006 They changed the lyrics "Give me a tropical contact high" to "Under a tropical island sky" probably because they felt they shouldn't be teaching kids about getting a contact high. True, the Beach Boys probably meant getting a contact high figuratively from the surrounding rather than literally from drugs, but since it has drug connotations, the Muppets probably felt it was safer to just alter it slightly.
SO MUCH NOSTALGIA. Last time I saw this I was probably 6. It played before this one VHS movie I had that I watched like every day, I can't remember what the movie was but I remembered every part of this ;__;
I remember they played this all the time on Disney Channel at my grandmother's house. I always remember that little muppet guy and that ``montserrat mystique'' shark.
I love this rendition of Kokomo. My only critique is that it's not the whole thing. It's a shame because the sax solo that comes right after where you ended it is my favorite part. However, it's a great quality video and not "customized" as so many YouTube videos are, so it still gets a thumbs up.
i remember seeing this when i was like 3 or 4 and im 18 now. i loved watching this. i watched it over and over again. i have it on vhs somewhere but im not sure where. i dont think it was winnie the pooh: unvalentines day tho. ill hafta find it. but i loved this b4 i even knew who the beach boys were
@taytay095 you mean "The Frog Prince" it was a 70s TV special. What I thought was cheesy about that special on video is how they have a edited cut directly from the end credits to the Jim Henson logo, it seemed like they cut out the very end after the credits.
This stupid video has forever ruined this song for me!!!!!! I have memories of seeing it on tv as a kid forever burned into my head and when I hear this song I think of this!
It was on in the very early 90's on Nick. They have "She Drives Me Crazy", too! You know...Back when Nick was insanely awesome? With Snick, Clarissa Explains it All, Are You Afraid of the Dark? and Roundhouse...I'm sorry most of you kids missed it. You missed out on a great time in TV.
@avickers1992 thanks for posting this! i used to kill this back in kindergarten! @breanntheartist1989 i would rewind it so many times watching this part! & we've actually still got that pooh bear vhs tape lol
@breanntheartist1989 It's funny because I remember seeing this when I was around 3 and it was my favorite scene from the muppets and the movie coming out soon reminded me of this so I wanted to see it for old times :) .
I remember this music video when I was kid...I always liked how Miss Piggy got mad.
