I don't believe it was an identity crisis at all. I, myself - am green. Kermie was trying to relate (in the nicest possible way) that it's okay to be different.
People who comes here via Glee, apperciate it more, cause we didnt just wanted to listen to Glee, we wanted to hear the original version, if Glee wasnt here, people like me, in which country The Muppets had never been famous, couldnt listen to this song, or knew this awesome show
@monkeynim1 Look up Kermit on Sesame Street. A Muppet is a puppet created by Jim Henson. Originally merchandise for SS said Featuring Jim Henson's Muppets. Today Disney owns The Muppets, but from the 2001 of the sale of the SS characters from the Jim Henson Company to Sesame Workshop, the characters on Sesame Street are still Muppets. The credits now say The Muppets of Sesame Street, and acknowledge Disney's The Muppets Studio owns to the trademark Muppet.
Notice how Kermit said "I THINK it's what I want" instead of "IT IS what I want." Kermit is still unsure if he's content. The song is gradually empowering, but it does not end in a complete victory over his identity crisis. Henson wrote brilliant lyrics because Kermit doesn't entirely accept his status. He hopes to be content with his status, but it's unsure and not certain. This song is brilliant especially for that reason. Life can never be perfect.
@RastaryanMarley96 It's simply about how the muppets met and there's a man who wants to catch Kermit and make him into another frog. Kermit, Fozzie, and some other Muppets go to Hollywood. The ending is actually quite happy.
I love Kermit the frog he was like my best friend when i was a kid :) And i know i am going to watch the mupets Its not tht easy being green but Kermit you rock the green :) :D
so there is more comments saying "don't talk about gle" then there are talking about glee? does anyone else see the loop of annoying youtube posts here or is it just me?
All this talk recently of the genius of Steve Jobs. Steve was never able to take a green sock ,some ping pong balls and give it a soul. Jim Henson was a genius!
@Laser110 Steve Jobs took LSD and inspired the Macintosh. A computer which changed the way we use things today. Jim Henson took LSD and came up with a talking frog. I love Kermit. But Steve Jobs takes the cake.
I think some of us can relate a bit to "being green". Sometimes, we wonder why we "blend in" and get "passed over" because we aren't like everyone else. But, then, we realize that the few of us that don't blend in are the ones that stand out the most, and can be "big like an ocean, or important like a mountain, or tall like a tree."
The muppets were guests on the sesame street show the only one that was more presnt on both shows was kermit the frog. Muppets were created first as part of sesame street then got their own show once studies found kids under age of 5 loved them. That is why some people think of sesame street first; actually this song was on both. Gotta love em!!
i remembered this song from reruns on sesame street when i was little...but i forgot about it until they sang it on glee..so im glad.cant wait for the new muppets movie. =]
If it brings others to Jim Henson; If they get to experience the same love and joy and understanding for the first time, then it's not all bad. It doesn't matter what brought them here.
Don't hate them, embrace them. The world is too full of anger, and Jim taught us better then that.
you know I watched the Muppets latest movie and LOVE IT, here I am 25 yrs old and watched it with my lil bro who is 6 yrs old, he didn't seem to like much the musical scenes *sigh* kids this days
although here can't blame them, with the cartoons they make today with less music and less sweet childhood memories like this one, what he will remember when he gets older? watched Kick Buttowski and Suite Life? unlike us who grow up with the Muppets and Hannah Barbera cartoons
