Robin the Frog- Halfway Down the Stairs

[kevindsunshinestate]

The lyrics are originally from A. A. Milne--best known for the Winne the Pooh stories.

[malikalovesrainbows]

I've never really actually 'watched' the muppets just knew who they are.. but when I found out Amy lee was singing this song I automatically got glued :D

[StickItLikeGlue]

@BenjiProductionsXL Not anymore, they have a new album out. And I guess the people that have actually grown up like Amy's version better.

[PowerpuffOldandZfan]

I like how this was sung @ Jim Henson's funeral to commemorate him. :P

[leerat]

memories of my childhood.... gone, but not forgotten..:)

[kittykate1787]

Oh Robin, you're so adorable~

[Evfan091]

so cute :D

[SortofSerious]

why does robin look so sad? :(

[CasaiAgicap]

If you look at his position at the end, you'll see he's closer to the top than the bottom. =D

[AlyDee01]

Ya know this song isn't necessarily sad, but it depresses the hell out of me. Not enough to cry, but enough to make me sad =/

[BenjiProductionsXL]

Stop mentioning Amy fucking Lee. Evanescence was so 2003. Muppets rule forever!

[CrazyLuna97]

Aww

[fudgeprincessx]

My dad used to sing "somewhere on a log is a place where I sit"!

[ZolRing]

Now do the stair song from kids in the hall.

[MagicEmperor]

Not to get on a high horse, but could we please stop comparing Robin the Frog with Amy Lee? Just view/listen to each rendition separately...

[DaphLife]

This song breaks my heart, and makes me want to bawl my eyes out. I don't quite know why. Damn you Muppets...

[EspherMercury]

I like both this and the cover -- glad they don't sound alike.

[MiirtJ]

Amy Lee's version is soo much better ;D

[AFatedCoincidence]

@MiirtJ Why do you think so? I myself really like Amy Lee's version myself, but I still think the original has more actual emotion behind it. Yes, it's very simplistic and crudely sung, but to me it also has a strange sort of tragedy to it. Robin's singing it because he doesn't know really where he fits in, and so he separates himself from it. Amy Lee's version, on the other hand, is her singing it because it's a somewhat famous Muppet song. *shrugs* Of course, that's only my perspective.

[MiirtJ]

@AFatedCoincidence I think it's really beautiful what you said, but I have never watched the Muppet Show when I was a kid (because I'm Dutch), so there aren't any emotions behind it for me.

[AFatedCoincidence]

@MiirtJ Honestly, I didn't watch that much of it myself. I was honestly just talking about the emotions I got by just watching this clip. It may be different for someone who doesn't have English as a first language, though, since I think most of of the emotion comes through his tone and inflections.

[manemanera]

@MiirtJ your wrong, they are both great. Robin the frog sang a beauitiful song, Amy Lee just made it more beauitful.

[MiirtJ]

@manemanera It's just my opinion, let me have one!

[manemanera]

@MiirtJ okay i will ^^

[uzukishikala]

My da told me that this was my favorite song as a kid.

[xcesar4x]

Oh gosh I love both amy lees cover and this song

[19DevilsAngel95]

Amy's singing is way better. But he's cute too if you turn the volume down ;D Joke ^^

[SuperNameless13]

I didn't like amy's cover .....so disappointed ....I expected it to be much more better

[MannyEllie4ever]

amy lee's cover is hauntingly wonderful

[ty0kroitoru1]

[evanescencechannel]

[EvanescenceOD]

Lol I bet Amy Lee's version is going to be a bit darker and a way sexier!!!!

[xxxAnimeCuppycakexxx]

@EvanescenceOD oddly enough, its not dark, its soo sweet!

[Haeinscute]

@EvanescenceOD I'd give you more than 1 thumbs up if I could because you are 100% spot on, she makes this song amazing.

[EvanescenceOD]

@Haeinscute I heard Amy's version and I loved it!

[TheHighlandRebels]

One person fell down the stairs...

[gjmt40]

[igormerlin44]

[mitzi7416]

[Studmeister17]

[giantmonkeykuwala5]

Then just to ruin this sad sweet moment kermit comes along and kicks him down...

[B1ushMoe]

Ricky Gervais sent me!

[tdk2592]

@B1ushMoe

[otakugirl009]

How cute. I hear Amy Hartzler (Amy Lee) is going to cover this song. Can't wait to hear it. :)

[xps28]

looks like a mini kermit

[B1ushMoe]

@xps28 Its his little Cousin (:

[robnobster]

This was based on a poem by A.A. Milne. As a boy he would sit on the stairs listening to his mother and father arguing viciously below. It was a safe haven for him.

[vndunne]

This use to be my party piece many years ago... BRings back memories.

[Wardh001]

That's how my mum sang it to me :)

He's so cute!

[EnglandSandy]

robin is sooo sweet!!! much more cooler than kermit!!

[brightsideoflife64]

"it isn't really anywhere...it's somewhere else instead" ahhh.

[lovingreenday09]

How cute, sang this when I was knee high to a grasshopper bout 25years ago!! Would most likely be banned nowadays due to health and safety risks!! ha ha

[LadyNekoshema]

i don't like robin, but GOD what a song. Jerry's got an amazing voice, i could listen to this song all day

[15kuki]

I sit in the midle of my stair case some times...... I don't know why.

[jammiedodger]

Halfway up the stairs is a stair where I sit.

There isn't any other stair quite like it

Its not in the nursery, it isn't in the town.

It isn't really anywhere, it's somewhere else instead

Thats how my mom sang it! :'(

[MrGobBluth]
