This is so ridiculous it's funny not the song what's happened in short time is ridiculous its funny song is cute
Very good work.. Jim henson even thought you died before i was born,i love you and you 'll always be my hero,till i die... You live in my heart and through your muppets... i would give EVERYTHING just to have a little conversation with you! rest in piece,my hero of my childhood <3
@babymoondancer Oh, the singer is still going to hell. Just not for this song. It was decided somewhere between "Special Olympics" and "For the Ladies".
He died a month and 14 days before I was born, never got a chance to see him actually alive which kinda sucks, but its no worse than him dying period! RIP Jim
If Jim was still with us, Sesame Street would NOT have become THE ELMO SHOW. Yes, Jim will live on in our hearts, but look at what producers have done to his magic characters...and not for the better.
I was of course terrifed when I first saw the title of this song years ago. Loving the Muppets as I do, and Stephen. Then when I played it I cried. When I first met Stephen, the first thing I told him was how much this song meant to me. It's my favorite!
I'm pretty sure you missed the point of that verse. He's saying that Barney and Power Rangers lost popularity, as opposed to the Muppets that are still (in the Lynch's mind) just as great.
This song and "A Boy and His Frog" never fail to choke me up. Being able to pull a tear from a cynic like me is testiment to Jim Hensons' shining legacy. One of the people that made my childhood great. Because we love him, he will always be alive.
I was only 4 years old when Jim passed, I always wanted to meet the genius who thought up Elmo and Ernie and Big Bird and Kermit and all the rest of those guys on TV who were realer to me than some of my schoolmates He will be sorely missed. But as long as one kid out there still loves his muppets and believes that somewhere theres a lovesick pig and a singing frog and a street where friendly monsters and birds and snufulupaguses all live in harmony He'll never really truly be dead and gone. RIP
I am a huge Henson fan, and I really love this song (sadly, Jim died the year I was born...). It makes me sad to see how few people my age actually know who he is; for example, one day this guy came to school with a big beard (he had been out sick for a week and a half and didn't feel like shaving) that made him look like Jim Henson. I kept telling him he looked like him, and sadly he had no clue who I was talking about...
i thought this song was a joke. I'm glad he didn't poke fun of jim's trageic death. He meant a lot to a lot of people... and his visions live on in all he inspired
I just saw your comment on the Jim Henson tribute. You may have already found all this out by now, but here goes anyway. The Kermit on lower left was the proto-type of the current. He was not yet a frog, just lizard like. He was a puppet on Jim Henson's Washington D.C. based kids show "Sam and Friends" which aired from '55-'61. He was the only "surviving" character.The bald guy above the other Kermit is Sam.
If the song was offensive to Jim Henson, I wouldn't have made a video to it. Offending other people I have no problem with, but Jim Henson's a hero to me, so I wouldn't post a song with a video making fun of him.
Ok, whoever this gay blookup is can go rot in a rubbish dump cause you obviously have no heart or brain for that matter cause you can't spell and this earth should not be wasted on scum like you.
Dude! This songs too sweet! To the writer and composer of this song; Is there any possable way I could get it down-loaded onto my MP3? Whoever migth know-E-mail me!
he's a comedian, so most of his songs are upbeat, but I think it's more accepting the fact that he's moved on, but his legacy will stay alive through his muppets.
It's so sad... I'd give both my legs to have been able to work with him. Thankfully Frank Oz is still among the living, and maybe we still got a chance of working with him one day...

Again, I can tell that you're special because you still lack the ability to type or spell. Honestly, were you raised in a barn? Now, you ill mannered cow, get a life, stay away from me, and watch your language, little kids listen to this song.
You made a ton of mistakes, I'll send you a message with all of them, because there are FAR too many to fit within the 500 character limit that youtube has.

blookup, that is VERY disrespectful to the late, great Jim Henson. Very much so. If I were ChibiPenguinChan I'd not only mark you as spam but block you. [can you block users?]
wow... I didn't think anyone has ever gotten emotional when I posted a video... maybe some people got angry, but never sad like that. Jim Henson was a genius, I wish he hadn't died.
