idk it seems pretty obvious, especially in the rap song. replace "Mo money" with "more horney" . Its delivered the same exact way as it is in Hiphopopottamous vs Rhymenocerous.
@CaraCompass lol I think he/she was referring to The Lord Of The Rings (Bret's character/extra fans dubbed FIGWIT (Frodo Is Great.. Who Is That?) so Kermit Is Great... Who Is That? (KIGWIT) lol just a reference
honestly, i find it amazing how much personality that a man can put into a puppet. the way kermit sit there, moving his arms and feet so lifelike occasionally, the subtle facial movements that are made (with limitations of course, being that he IS a puppet)...whoever does kermit is just talented as hell
@licklavin People who know anything about music, and are unimpressed by this song's derivative, improv-like composition, especially in the chord progression.
@yaragorm I mean the MUSIC is improv-like, or maybe more like a piano lesson. One high chord, one middle chord, one really high chord, one really low chord, then repeats the same 4 mostly.
One thing I didn't mention, is the cliche nature of the lyrics, "entire world in the palm of your hand" "no one there to break your fall"...etc., etc. .. If they had nominataed this for ORIGINAL song, it would be an insult to the word "original."
@webeffect Son, we're all real impressed you know what key it's in (lie), but no one cares because its a fun song. Wait, did you just say its a "kiddy composition", you do understand that this is a song written for a film starring The Muppets ....
@jasonpapai73 What does the target audience of the movie have to do with the lack of sophistication in the music? Many kid-oriented films have featured complex, sophisticated songs! Try playing a real, un-stripped arrangement of Beauty and the Beast on piano for the first time, to get an idea.
@jasonpapai73 I think you misunderstood. His point was that such a simple song with basic composition and cliched lyrics doesn't deserve to be nominated for Best Original Song, which I sort of agree with. I mean, I love Bret and all, and the song's fine for the movie, but as great ideas for Oscar nominations go, this probably isn't it. Personal opinion.
@jasonpapai73 Also, just because something is a kid's song, doesn't mean it needs a basic and predictable composition of chords. When he said "kiddy composition", I think it was more 'basic composition that a kid could do', as a figure of speech, rather than 'composition for a kid's movie'.
Bret is one of my two favorite guys in the entire world, the other being, of course, Jemaine. Flight of the Conchords is just the best thing ever, and this song is great!
Oh man...how ADORABLE is Bret!! I had no idea he wrote some of the music for the latest Muppet movie...an absbolutely adorable Kiwi actoir/musician and a little green frog. Who would have thought it could work????
Well, Bret McKenzie is just so adorable by himself...and then you add in a green frog that so many have grown up with...I first became aware of McKenzie in his role as 'Figwit' in LOTR...and had never heard of Flight of the Concordes...but through YouTube I watched a few episodes and loved them...a different kind of humor than here in the US, but still funny. I am 51 years old and I cannot wait to go to see The Muppet movie!!! Hey, I may be old, but I am not dead, LOL.//./
