I'm a kiwi, and I love flight of the conchords... but for fuck sake this does not deserve an oscar (even though the oscars are a pretentious suckfest anyway) This song is so painfully average. Compare it to even the most average of songs from disney movies such as Lion King, Beauty and the Beast, Mulan, etc and it falls so dismally by the wayside.
I'm done, thumbs up if dom got you here? a video game character. How about a thumbs up for our dieing soldiers in afghanistan. How about a thumbs up for the ole red white and blue? because if it wasn't for them, we wouldn't have this.. so i ask you, are you a dom or a human being... Lets get a couple thumbs up here!
@MriCantRead Funny you say "Bazinga" when Jim Parsons cameoed during the entirety of this song in the film. If Sheldon endorses it it must be better :)
@tejojo it is not rigged it was a touching song and it deserves to win now south park's blame canada that's a song that didn't deserved to be nominated I was on the floor praying to god that it doesn't win
You guys don't appreciate the humor of this song. They are saying extremely ridiculous lines yet they take it so seriously. Plus, it just sounds amazing vocally and instrumentally.
Still disappointed that Rango didn't get any Oscar nods for its soundtrack- Rango's Theme is a great throwback and the entire OST is worth listening to. I think it would have given this some stiff competition. Still, I loved this
I'm not even going to bother going through all the bs you guys are arguing about, all I can say is you're all acting like 10 year olds, all of your arguments are just either insulting each other or contain a hundred different logical fallacies thus making them completely null and void. Calm your tits and enjoy the song.
Well I think it's awesome, who gives a toss about awards anyway? Fact is a hell of a lot of people love the film, me included, and I'm proud of it. For the same reason I don't care that I got emotional at the end of Toy Story 3, at the end of the day, if you haven't grown up with these characters, you're not going to fully appreciate how fantastic they are.
@gsaugen It is, in fact, a very well written number. Given it's a track from a kids' movie, it deserved the Oscar, and many though so. Why on Earth would they choose a song that wasn't beloved by most people? If you actually saw the movie, you'd know that this song was a dramatic part of this movie, and this song brought that feel to life. Now, I've seen Rio, and I liked it. But its soundtrack lacked a lot of meaning. Meaningful music is the best a we all know so.
@XsbcatfangX Whenever you go to the movies, you want to have fun, so the music shouldn't be sad, considering the movie is a children's movie. Even the Muppets movie's composer has admitted the Brazilian movie song was far better. I guess that's why we Brazilians are so upset. -- (Gilberto Saugen, do Brasil)
@gsaugen If you really have a problem with it, then fine. Have a problem with it. But look at the Like/Dislike bar.
Most people don't have a problem with it. It's not that big a deal. I'm not asking you to LOVELOVELOVE this song, just don't have a problem with it. Jeez.
@XsbcatfangX Easy, man! You don't need to be angry! Isn't this YouTube space for comments a democratic space? So let me say my opinion about the Oscar. I say the award has definitely been "rigged" in terms of "Best Song". Of course, there'll be people who agree with me and those ones who don't. I respect people's opinion different from mine and I expect the same from them. Got it? -- GILBERTO SAUGEN from Brazil
@XsbcatfangX NOTICE you don't back up what you say: 'it's well written" = 'the moon is made of cheese". You don't SUPPORT your argument, as I did. I explained clearly why it's a VERY BAD SONG poorly written in every way. And to say it's a kid's movie is a copout. (Dr. Seuss is SMART. Jason Segal is DUMB.) youtube some of MY kid's songs like "Smile For Your Mug Shot" by "Touching You" to see what a GOOD kid's song sounds like. It should have BIG HOOKS. "Yellow Submarine" is a GOOD 1.
@XanaduMountain (As much of a motherfucking rant I can make about Yellow Submarine, I'm not gonna.)
I definately support my arguement, right here.
This song shows self revelation. It's telling kids to go with their heart, Be who you are, know who you are. It's not that hard of a concept, really. But I suppose when you're over there with simple, meaningless music like everyone else, you wouldn't dare notice.
Notice the end line is a relaxed, "That's what I am." Being okay with who you are.
@XsbcatfangX But it's well-established that humans DO NOT REALLY LISTEN TO LYRICS or process them. (Heck, I didn't realize WHITESNAKE was a euphemism for penis for ten years!) EX: the billions who thought "Born In The USA" was a pro-USA song. Are you trying to say that kids listened closely to the lyrics of this song? That's ABSURD. You guys are getting desperate here. And only bad people are okay with who they are. GOOD PEOPLE are always improving themselves. You sound like GOP.
@XanaduMountain That's really just you and all those bimbos out there. I asked my ten year old brother, and I asked my 7 year old cousin, and they both said it was about Knowing you are/not human and accepting it.
Kids listen, better than you.
I don't see what your trying to prove. People CAN improve themselves, some, more than others. That's not what this song means. It's like, "I'm an outcast, and I'm ok with it." not, "I'm gonna become pointlessly popular 'cause it's considered IMPROVING!"
@XanaduMountain First, I'm not trying to insult you. I'm just trying to shut you up(which isn't working) because nobody here wants to read a pointless arguement on a youtube video(infact I'm wasting my time typing this).
@XanaduMountain Second, you're making yourself look like an ass by continuing to comment on this video for the past three days(I'll admitt I'm looking bad typing this). Do you have better things to do? I'm at the Bowling Alley bowling averaging a 203 in league play while you're still here talking about how humans don't listen to lyrics. Bullshit. As a kid, I knew the lyrics to Rainbow Connection(Gonna shit on Paul Williams now?) This IS the last I'm talking. So long, good luck, good riddance
@XsbcatfangX The song is pretty awful. Me and my dad both cringed when it started... it only won the award because there were no good songs that year. And many at the Academy grew up with the muppets too.
@XsbcatfangX A kids movie... ANY AGE CAN WATCH THE MUPPETS.... They're comedy reaches all levels and all ages.. :p Im 17 and saw this movie 3 days ago. I pissed myself laughing. I also grew up with the muppets though.
@camaross34 I'm 11. I grew up with retro cartoons like Recess and Kim Possible. I had three game boys and the original games. Some new cartoons and games are just terrible. If you find something good, stick with it and don't get rid of it!
How come this song has won the Oscar? It's sad, blue, depressing, melancholic, contrary to "REAL IN RIO"! It was NOT fair! Please YouTube music experts all over the wordl, say your opinions. Did this song deserve to be the award victor? --- GILBERTO SAUGEN from Brazil
@CalumAJ99 Whenever you go to the movies, you want to have fun, so the music should be merry, not sad, considering the movie is a children's movie. So, in your opinion, I guess, a BEST original song shouldn't be energic, happy, merry, like "Real in Rio." -- (Gilberto Saugen, do Brasil)
@gsaugen I don't go the movies "just" to have fun. I go to the movies, much like I experience all art, to be moved, whether it be through happiness or sadness. And besides, it's not my opinion that the Best Original Song shouldn't be energetic, happy or merry. Don't assume I'm a miserable git like that. In all honesty, I'd much rather have preferred "Life's A Happy Song" or "Star Spangled Man" - other, much more happy original songs from films from 2011 - to have won the Oscar.
OK, I honestly don't care whether Rio or The Muppets won an oscar or who should've the simple fact is MUPPETS won, and whether or not it makes a damn differentce in this world compared to a global charity or shit does not mean shit. Their both good movies, and they both have their place on my DVD shelf
who cares about these stupid YouTube thumbs ... I'm literally giving Bret Mckenzi, New Zealand & The Muppets a thumbs up (: Cos I'm from New Zealand. So yeah (: <3
This song is about truly realizing who you are. To stop pretending and be the person you were born to be. I for one, love this song, and is quite glad that it won an Oscar.
Only this song won at the Oscars, only 1 award. Wow People really did forget about the Muppets, and then after Jim Henson died, Dinsey Claimed they Created it. :(
@Sirthatguy ok shitguy, I'm wrong in many situations and you just seem to be right all the time so, I'll just agree with whatever you say. Have a great life, goodbye bud.
NEWS FLASH: no awards shows are legit. Everything in life is based on socio-politics, not merit. I've worked award shows and seen how dishonest they are. I've won all kinds of awards, but I take them with a grain of salt. (Of course, the many "BEST EVER" awards I've won are pretty dramatic. They're saying I'm better than anyone else EVER! Not bad!)
@XanaduMountain No one gives a fuck about you winning awards. If you did win then good for you, but it doesn't mean you're better than Bret. Infact it doesn't mean you're the best. Someone smart as you should know that everyone is a dime a dozen. I'm a dime a dozen, and you're a dime a dozen.
@xRichtofenx No wonder you like this song... you are illiterate! MY COMMENTS clearly show you that I think awards are bullshit. I agree my winning awards and even BEATING Bret in an award ceremony doesn't prove shit. It's the dummies on here saying this song is GREAT who said that shit. Please learn to read before you waste our time. XOXOXO!
@XanaduMountain Nah, you repeatedly backed up your claims by saying how your opinion was more valid as you had won awards and were particularly proud of beating FOTC to an award.
@msbabc Wrong again, airhead. You children were saying Bret must be better because he WON an oscar and I didn't. I only included my "credentials" b/c you children always use the cliche comments like "if you're good why have we never heard of you or seen you on TV!" I'm NOT proud of beating FotC: I think they're exceptionally weak writers and musicians and singers and comics! It's like beating a quadraplegic in basketball!
@xRichtofenx Good comeback! And if I was 12 years old your comment might have effect. But I'm an ADULT, which means I can see YOU think I'm right about every fact, which is why you insulted ME rather than disprove my facts. Typical right wing shitheads. You're a dime a dozen! Maybe someday you'll grow up. But I doubt it.
@XanaduMountain Talk is cheap. And that's what your doing. Talking, talking, talking. At least I'm not the one trying to making arguements on the internet. I'll actually try to be the mature one and stop talking. Maybe you do the same thing, you might learn something.
@XanaduMountain I honestly don't understand why you continue to do this. You call me and others immature and stupid, yet you're the one who keeps talking and talking trying to back something up that no one cares about. You're acting like a freshman trying to prove something to seniors. I know I said I would stop talking, but you're starting to take it a little to far. Just shut up, and leave this video alone. Talk is cheap, and you're a dime a dozen.
@xRichtofenx I sincerely think I can make dumb people smarter... but that's not really practical. I try and try, but humans are just cro-mags who let their EGOs override their brains. Read the comments said about me again. They're all childish. I backed up my criticism with numerous concrete points. No one else did the same. That's childishness. Keep insulting me all you want. It doesn't work. And no one has ever said I'm a dime a dozen. Even my enemies say there's no one like me.
AND I AGREE: Pictures In MY Head (while also cloying, and wink-wink-trite) IS A BETTER SONG. (Of course, it wasn't written by Bret.) But we ADULTS know nothing in this world is a meritocracy, while DUMB people think it is. (They also think Sandra Bullock was the GREATEST ACTRESS on earth a couple years back! OOF!) The Oscars even CONCEDES THEIR SHOW IS NOT FAIR: it's not based on merit etc. In fact, the BEST performances of the year can't even WIN unless the STUDIO nominates them!!
@eternallamppost HEY MORON, I listed some of my accomplishments, AND one movie my songs do appear in, IDIOT. You should bring your skill of talking out your ass to America's Got Talent!
It doesn't matter what Country someone is from or what they look like or the colour of their skin. It doesn't matter what they smell like or whether they spell words slightly differently some would say more correctly. LET ME FINISH.I'm a person, Bret's a person, you're a person, that person over there's a person. And each person deserves to be treated, like a person.
Rio was a bore, I fell asleep. Anyone that puts that above Muppets needs to get checked out by a doctor. Muppets had real personality to it, and Bretts music is comical as usual. Check out Flight of the Concords anyone who has not.
also can i just say that anyone who disses this song look up flight of concords! Bret (one of them wrote the entire soundtrack) and they are so much better than a kids film about birds! The muppets is a classic about cool characters who have more personality than a bird who gets lost in rio.
I do not care about nationality, but to give preference to a song several criteria should be adopted, not just say that is memorable or contextualized, where is the music? Where is the creativity? Man or Puppet song is not so bad, but in Rio Real is far superior. Just listen without being a patriot. Anyway... Oscar failed. . . . . Again.
@PabloFernando222 erm.. it's man or a muppet, not puppet, and for goodness sake why are we all discussing real in rio, you came here to listen to this song. So why not go onto real in rio and talk about there...plus on my side of the argument, sheldon is in the video!
@TheDillyproductions but... I don't need your opinion to share mine, I can watch any video I want, but you're wrong if you think I came here to listen this crap. Talking about Puppets (with P) and all the derived (like Muppets that nor even has a creative name) is a kind of culture that do not please a lot fo people, includding me. To finish it all, you don't have any arguments...
@TheDillyproductions I'm starting to think that you're too much stupid to understand my reasons, but I'll try to make it easier to understand, there are two kind of people in these comments, some agree with the oscar award and others no, then people share their opinion about the merit and so on.., Discuss the possibilities, and try to reach an agreement, not necessarily give explanations about the why I'm here instead of watching another video. Be happy and let me express
Yea guys I agree with that guy about two comments down. You are all arguing about a simple little song. Who cares about it's composition? It's a simple yet catchy song and if you don't like it, move on.
@Sirthatguy Well, I don`t know where you saw me saying anything about this latin america crap, but anyway, analyzing the song (only), the opinion that many musicians expressed in the news and my own opinion, "real in Rio" is less repetitive, the lyrics are more creative and the intrumental part (mainly) is much superior to "man or muppet". I`m not trying to make you believe that though. We just started talking because of you comment about other people`s english, and I thought that was wrong...
@songplots That's just the thing. Opinions. A real argument isn't won by "this select outspoken minority thinks this". What holds up actual recognition? Awards and recognitions. Which song won the most prestigious award? Does it make it better? No. It makes its argument for it better, and since music is subjective that's what matters at the end of the day. My comment was not wrong. Look at the comments. Who are the ones bitching the most about Rio? Brazilians.
My rhymes and records they don't get played, because my records and rhymes they don't get made, if you rap like me you don't get paid, if you roll like me you don't get laid.
I'm glad that a Muppets movie got, at least, an Oscar. I really am! But, "Real in Rio" is much better than this song. I believe that the members of the Academy chose the Muppets song to give the deserved recognition to all Muppets movies. If the nominated song was "Pictures in my Head" I would totally agree with all the comments in here! And you guys, Americans and Brazilians, should stop posting offensive comments, as butthurt brazilians! This is not cool, there is no need for doing that.
@lucasfranzcanada I am freaking overjoyed that it won, but I was positive, when I read that an nomination was in hand, that it was "Pictures in My Head" or "Life's a Happy Song." I personally think this is one that shows all the recognition that The Muppets deserve but hasn't gotten until now (From the Academy). :)
@lucasfranzcanada I disagree! This song deserved it's Oscar because it's very touching and everyone can relate, because they have the same problem!...That's just my opinion :3
FUCK THIS FUCKING SONG! IT'S A PIECE OF SHIT! REAL IN RIO SHOULD HAVE WON! FUCK THIS FUCKING SONG! IT'S A PIECE OF SHIT! REAL IN RIO SHOULD HAVE WON! FUCK THIS FUCKING SONG! IT'S A PIECE OF SHIT! REAL IN RIO SHOULD HAVE WON! FUCK THIS FUCKING SONG! IT'S A PIECE OF SHIT! REAL IN RIO SHOULD HAVE WON! FUCK THIS FUCKING SONG! IT'S A PIECE OF SHIT! REAL IN RIO SHOULD HAVE WON!FUCK THIS FUCKING SONG! IT'S A PIECE OF SHIT! REAL IN RIO SHOULD HAVE WON!
@Superstarseven That your "rebuttal" was ALSO incompetent suggests you don't really believe what you wrote. That's like saying "no I didn't rob the bank! You're talking out your ass!" That proves you DID rob the bank, b/c if you didn't, you'd give EVIDENCE like "I was at work and you can check!" You made NO ARGUMENT that the song isn't lame, dummy.
@XanaduMountain Why in the hell would I have argue that this song is better? Anyone can listen to both it and the song it was competing against and come to the same conclusion. I'm gonna write a dissertation on Youtube as to why this song won the Oscar? You're out of your stupid mind. Simple and sweet is the way it works here on YT.
BRET!

How come this song has won the Oscar? It's sad, blue, depressing, melancholic, contrary to "REAL IN RIO"! It was NOT fair! Please YouTube music experts all over the wordl, say your opinions. Did this song deserve to be the award victor? --- GILBERTO SAUGEN from Brazil

@CalumAJ99 Whenever you go to the movies, you want to have fun, so the music should be merry, not sad, considering the movie is a children's movie. So, in your opinion, I guess, a BEST original song shouldn't be energic, happy, merry, like "Real in Rio." -- (Gilberto Saugen, do Brasil)
gsaugen 4 days ago
@gsaugen I don't go the movies "just" to have fun. I go to the movies, much like I experience all art, to be moved, whether it be through happiness or sadness. And besides, it's not my opinion that the Best Original Song shouldn't be energetic, happy or merry. Don't assume I'm a miserable git like that. In all honesty, I'd much rather have preferred "Life's A Happy Song" or "Star Spangled Man" - other, much more happy original songs from films from 2011 - to have won the Oscar.

NEWS FLASH: no awards shows are legit. Everything in life is based on socio-politics, not merit. I've worked award shows and seen how dishonest they are. I've won all kinds of awards, but I take them with a grain of salt. (Of course, the many "BEST EVER" awards I've won are pretty dramatic. They're saying I'm better than anyone else EVER! Not bad!)

@XanaduMountain No one gives a fuck about you winning awards. If you did win then good for you, but it doesn't mean you're better than Bret. Infact it doesn't mean you're the best. Someone smart as you should know that everyone is a dime a dozen. I'm a dime a dozen, and you're a dime a dozen.

AND I AGREE: Pictures In MY Head (while also cloying, and wink-wink-trite) IS A BETTER SONG. (Of course, it wasn't written by Bret.) But we ADULTS know nothing in this world is a meritocracy, while DUMB people think it is. (They also think Sandra Bullock was the GREATEST ACTRESS on earth a couple years back! OOF!) The Oscars even CONCEDES THEIR SHOW IS NOT FAIR: it's not based on merit etc. In fact, the BEST performances of the year can't even WIN unless the STUDIO nominates them!!

I do not care about nationality, but to give preference to a song several criteria should be adopted, not just say that is memorable or contextualized, where is the music? Where is the creativity? Man or Puppet song is not so bad, but in Rio Real is far superior. Just listen without being a patriot. Anyway... Oscar failed. . . . . Again.

@Sirthatguy Well, I don`t know where you saw me saying anything about this latin america crap, but anyway, analyzing the song (only), the opinion that many musicians expressed in the news and my own opinion, "real in Rio" is less repetitive, the lyrics are more creative and the intrumental part (mainly) is much superior to "man or muppet". I`m not trying to make you believe that though. We just started talking because of you comment about other people`s english, and I thought that was wrong...

@songplots That's just the thing. Opinions. A real argument isn't won by "this select outspoken minority thinks this". What holds up actual recognition? Awards and recognitions. Which song won the most prestigious award? Does it make it better? No. It makes its argument for it better, and since music is subjective that's what matters at the end of the day. My comment was not wrong. Look at the comments. Who are the ones bitching the most about Rio? Brazilians.

I'm glad that a Muppets movie got, at least, an Oscar. I really am! But, "Real in Rio" is much better than this song. I believe that the members of the Academy chose the Muppets song to give the deserved recognition to all Muppets movies. If the nominated song was "Pictures in my Head" I would totally agree with all the comments in here! And you guys, Americans and Brazilians, should stop posting offensive comments, as butthurt brazilians! This is not cool, there is no need for doing that.
