rainbow connection

[2write2sing2dance]

@Mr. Twiky - Kermit is left-handed? All the better! Some of the best - alive and passed - are lefthanded. ME, President Obama(I delight in this!), Kurt Cobain, list goes on...it's only fitting that Kermit be on this list.

[2write2sing2dance]

Kermit is one of the great loves of my life. Hahaha he still owns.

[whovian1971]

God, I miss Jim henson!

[abomb919]

Back when this first came out, kermit jumped straight to the top of the folk and bluegrass charts.. my  favorite parts at the end when hes just rockin out

[starstruckcarmeat]

i love this song. it's so adorable. makes me cry.

[MrTwiky]

I never figured Kermit to be left handed... nevertheless... rock on little man... frog...

[Lewis3169]

its choir

[jewNasianproductions]

I wonder what Jim Hensen thinks about this now, hes probably rolling over in his grave now that this song is taken into a differnt context

any way thats all i had to say

im out

[evan573]

psst... whats the different context?

[Itsdefault]

really? tell us =D i wanna know. ( no seriously tell me or mail me a site that will. )

[someUtubeguy]

What do you mean taken into a different context? Do you mean the gay rights moviemnt? I think Jim wrote this song for all dreamers, not just the straight ones. I dont think he would have a problem with them using it. He seemed like a kind soul who was open to all walks of life.

[Hipmister3000]

i heart kermit

this song is so pretty

i'm thinking of using it for an audition.

[crazybird520]

I have to sing it 4 my chorus.

[sunshnlvr]

the muppets bring back such nostalgic feelings for me! i grew up on this stuff! They just don't make tv like this anymore. I love it!!!!

[hilarioph]

Jim Henson we like to thank you very ,

very much on your behave as the leader

of the Muppets when you play kirmit. Filipinos love this song because when you sing as a kirmit the frog. Your hearts will remember for those kids who truly in love your voice as a Kirmit. I am 35 years old. I watch the Muppets show when they air on GMA 7 and transfer to ABS CBN 2 when i still a kid back in the mid 80's. Thank you Jim Henson and rest in peace :(

[utuber554]

So nice... I have a funny remake- Someday we'll find find it- the rainbow connection, the lovers, the haters and Nanny McFee! (: Silly huh!

[ButtaPeCanRican76]

I LOVE this Song!!!!!!!!

[scottshu975]

[cabeka123]

[halfeatentoe]

[TehCrabby]

[ReturnToSender1991]

A Banjo but a very froggy version ; )

[user7272]

the song + the 'memories' it conjures are so bittersweet, ty for this gem. Reminds me the only constant is change...peace 2 all.

[moussajinx]

Ahhh, Jim...

You are dearly missed.

[1971alicat]

ditto!

[stonefreeJMH]

I did not know that Kermit's left-handed. Interesting...

[brianklick]

its because the puppeteer it right handed

[manyofus]

This song always makes me cry. Love it

[tigressive]

omg i always cry when i hear it... i'm also using this song as my father/daughter dance at my wedding too... we'll see if i can keep it together then lol

[JLBtiger92]

We sang this in first grade, and I still remember all the words.

[strongblackman]

i sang this to good times

[miskymisfit]

You Cant Help But Love The Muppets Am 26 And Still Think There Amazing

[angryoldpoop]

one of the best. i love that they make it look like he's actually playing the banjo.

[lucyboo0702]

i had to sing this in fith grade not knowing the magnatude of this song until i found out that the man who taught it to me passed away because of aids,......well i think u guys get it...

[pritilady]

just love this  beautiful song!!

[duckwrangler]

Still the best movie song ever - and somehow failed to win the Oscar.. The song from NORMA RAE that nobody remembers stole it from his royal greeness..

[Itsdefault]

yeah. hey there Delilah or w/e gets a Grammy every year but this wonderfule song that stole all of our hearts cant even get one...wtf? that doesn't make any sence. shit Kermit should get a Grammy for fucking being Kermit.

[musicbrain5]

Word =D

Kermit is an entertainer, musician, author, muppet spokesperson, etc. lol

This was one of the first songs I learned on guitar. Later I learned it on the banjo to be just like Kermit :)

He is my favourite muppet!

[Itsdefault]

and to boot. who doesnt know about kirmit? at least in the US. everyone knows fucking kermit the frog.

[Gathol]

what's so amazing...

take it

[xLovexLaurenx]

i love kermit ^_^

[SirchHanom]

"....and meeeeeeeeeeeeeee!"

(Kermit looks around. puts down acoustic guitar and picks up a Gibson Les Paul.)

"There's a lady who's sure, all that glitters is gold....And she's buying a stairway to heaven....."

(Closes eyes an smiles)

[NothingSacred27]

Incredible!!! It's been too long since I've seen this and it's still awesome.

[danshort10]

kermit rocks

[SuperFunnyGirlxxx4]

that was funny as heck

[julimio93]

super song

[kittylovesjessica]

Anyone that doesnt like this song is inhuman. I dont give a damn if it is sung by a frog with a hand stuck up his ass, this song is one of the best songs ever created!!!!

[nappybiscuit]

LOL!! True true.

[jewelspools1029]

ktgals210 im singing this in chorus wit mrs smetterer or watever her name is abd this song rox i dont care if its old its awsome

[jacksontm78]

Nothing of value that we have lost.

[Scythemantis]

You're the worst person ever :D

[ktgals210]

[puppyluv3503]

[starfleetoffcr]

RIP Jim Henson! We miss you!!

[schusterlehrling]

Kermit got it right, always.

[emtmike25]

god this takes me back...ty

[PoTaToEpIe434]

I'm singing this in Chours and I love it!

[bernadettestar]

Love it, thank you!

[angelcry105]

The Rainbow Connection comes from our hearts and souls and helping others. Let's take joy in finding it!

[sammykijkomhoog]

Good one

[amazed92]

my favourite song

at least simon cowells company BMG haven't found this one yet, they've taken all the others off or worse muted them - and that makes Youtube into a @r$e kissing joke

[TherealRNO]

amazed: The thing IS Simon "I am a dumbass" Cowell's stupid company does NOT even OWN the song. The Muppets DO. Paul Williams COMPOSED it FOR Jim as Kermit and so, Cowell has NO right to demand removal of something that's NOT his!

[amazed92]

Cowell bought a massive back catalogue of music, included in this catalogue were songs including "hello mother, hello father" and "rainbow connection"

[TherealRNO]

amazed: But the thing is...he didn't make it. Since he didn't make it, he probably would've needed permission to obtain song rights before the buyout.

[amazed92]

the company that produced the original track held the ownership rights, the original artists having sold the rights to the song to them. When the company then sold their back catalogue they sold the rights. It is not like writing a book where you have rights over your own intellectual work. It should be, but it's not. Cowell now owns the rights, unfortunately

[TherealRNO]

amazed: And sadly, he has to be a harsh judge outside of Idol, too. We dreamers don't need that!

[runninrainshinegal]

this song is always a great pick me up.

[ianomahoney]

beautiful,we will find it

[DarkLadyJade]

I like this song, but it makes me very sad because it makes me think of my mom.

[UFOPhil]

Love it.

[raynelycan]

I miss Jim Henson. I appreciate than the new voice actors try, but there is only one Kermit the Frog.

[fascaso]

I see I'm not the only one that tears up with this. Thanks for uploading, great stuff.

[psifla]

I second what you've said. Simply brilliant.

[jmc1987jcgc]

KERMIT THE FROG ROCKZ!!!!!!!!!

[angelene21]

This is truely beautiful this song makes me cry i wish there were more people like Jim Hinson around RIP in Heaven Jim

[elphie10101]

I love that Kermit's left handed

[afterburn610]

All Muppets are because the puppeteers are right handed

[twilightvampire3]

Andy from The Office sings it better...

[milkxxcookies]

haha oh.

that was funny.

but kermit sings it the best!

[carlitosdavila]

I don't like it sun in pig-latin. Kermit has the better voice.

[LeftSock06]

I will make the rainbow connection someday. Kermit and Jim will guide me to it. Thanks Jim for giving this harsh world some laughter, innocence and grace.

[cne08]

I miss Jim Henson.

[iamuncledave]

Moving melody, great frog.

[indiebird12]

Kermit is one thousand percent real in my heart. If this isnt beautiful than what is?

[lamercampy]

Whoever the composer is he ROCKS!

[dpdilla]

Paul Williams composed this. He recently performed it on Yo Gabba Gabba, which was was honestly awesome. He also did all the songs for the cult movie Phantom of the Paradise which you should totally check out. Incidentally, he also did the penguin's voice on Batman the Animated Series, among other things.

[KristinAnderson]

One of the best songs of all time....it speaks volumes, in these sweet & simple words.

[CatpurrrRobertaBobbi]

Just try not to cry. I dare ya! When he sings about hearing voices calling your name your reminded Jim is no longer here. Yet Kermit always will be!

[LeftSock06]

Jim's here in spirit. :)

[neilindale23]

go go kermit!! :-) I did love this song when I was little

[v1cevs]

I don't know why I found your comment so funny Calliope451, but it's true.."Nobody does it like Kermit" hahaha!

[SWORDOFTRUTH9]

This song is about Jesus, and you.

[ncm1965]

Maybe, in my mind not.

[calliope451]

i've been searching through here listening to the different covers of this song. Nobody does it like kermit...i want this song sung at my funeral

[ncm1965]

So scary - was listening and thinking the same thinking it odd - & then..

[JenMayHug]

meeeee toooo!

[xXryanswomanXx]

I love this frog!!, lives in a pond, loves a pig and movie star, he has it all.

[babizinha]

beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeautiful!!

[xokayla3194xo]

lovee it!!!

[MartyMcflyGirl]

I love this song and my lil kermit the frog :]]]

[DagmarHORROR]

[anderspua]

[kalengu]

I love this song, ok its sung by a frog but it is wondrfull

[Gh0stintheShell]

it's in 1 word, GREAT

[dazzeldbyedward32]

lol

[yk325]

It's actually suprising this has 300,000+ views, considering it was made so long ago. Love Kermit! (Rainbow Ku-nek-shun...)

[cgailb]

Ku-nek-shun! I love it! That is totally what he saying. I was born in '66 and I grew up with this. It's still soothing, uplifting, and relevant.

[heykevin22]

YAY Kermit!!!!!

[mikeys316]

If this doesnt make you feel somewhat emotional youre either born after 1980 or a heartless pitiful excuse for a human

[mentalbird]

I was born in 1993 and it still makes me feel emotional. Mostly because it was sung at my Grandpa's funeral because my grandma and grandpa loved rainbows.

[mikeys316]

thats the power of music my friend it can make you laugh one minute barf the next. and if it is really good such as this rip your heart out and make you feel it

[phatmatt1176]

im just glad im not the only person who actually looked up this great song by kermit on you-tube!

[stuffonyourcat]

Hey Kermit is real!

[TravelinBri2]

i don't think he's really playing that banjo... might be lip syncing too.

[Sp0s]

roflmao

[SmileyWhiplash]

I think you're probably right...

[DrakkenWasHere]

*laughs* He isn't?! Oh well, at least it's fun to pretend Kermit is.

[Shadapaga]

roflmfao jk g2g cyl8r

[llivellovellaugh101]

kermit is great

[TsukasaElkKite]

This song makes me remember when I was little. <3 It still makes me tear up when I listen to it.

[niunanfen]

China, China you know that? I am come from China! I watched kermit when I was a child!

[xboxjunkiepj9000]

wtf?

[Shadapaga]

"i am come from China!"

[niunanfen]

I don't understand why my comment gets thumbs down

[lindyjimmy]

When my son was recovering from tumor surgery we played this over and over again in the ICU to him.He found the rainblow connection, he's alive and he's 16.............Lin N Crew~*

[luigifangirl19]

Classic. My dad and I danced to this song at my wedding. My family used to listen to the Muppet Movie soundtrack (on cassette) whenever we traveled when we were kids, so this song has always been special to us.

[ckriley417]

I shouldn't have watched this at work. I just cried.
