this guy whos mental was singing this out loud on the bus to school trying to drown out me&my friend talking...its been stuck in my head ever since. true story.
Are you kidding me? This was the very first movie I ever went and saw in the theater. I was only 4 years old at the time and this song STILL makes me smile every time I hear it!
This song is amazing. It's inspirational, it's beautiful, it's well written and well sung, it's just so... there's no way to describe it. It's beatuful.
@mrbaby556 I'm so sorry, I accidentally disliked your comment!!! I didn't mean to, it was totally a mistake. I always feel bad when i do that, so that's why I'm doing it now. Sorry!!!
Wait. Look in the suggested videos. The Chipettes tik tok has over 32 million views, while Rainbow Connection has only 3 million. I don't get it. How in the world does a song from a 2 star movie have more views than Rainbow Connection? At least Rainbow Connection was nominated for a Oscar.
Man I needed to hear/see this. Everyone is so full of contentious rage lately. Sometimes you just need to get back in touch with a child-like spirit of acceptance and joy to not go insane from it all.
I look back down to my photo album, turning to the page after our most recent photo. The pages are blank. I still have a lot of life ahead of me, and I plan to make the best of it.
When I was little, my mom sang this to me for a lullaby every night. I've know every lyric since i was 3, and when you're that small, this song makes perfect sense with you're view of the world. :) love this song.
when i was five my older brother use to play this song on his guitar and now thats he's gone from this earth i can't but cry and know that one day i'll meet him on the other side of the rainbow
This song is everything to me. I sing it when I'm feeling down, I listen to it when everything is going wrong. It soothes to me. Thank you Jim Henson. Your a blessing .
My Reddit brothers and sisters.. let us unite, and build a new world centered around this songs prophecies. Let us find this connection, the lovers .. the dreamers .. and me
@BufferdWilliams "This song is so awesome, I'd hold up a radio station just to hear it play..."
Dear god, how did this comment ALREADY get TWO-HUNDRED AND FORTY SIX THUMBS UP if it was posted A DAY AGO?
Also, in case this somehow gets thumbs up, I quoted who I'm replying to, in full. I recommend you people start doing this too, think of the combined man-hours this will save!
first movie I ever saw in theaters was A Muppets Christmas Carol. If there was one thing my parents did right it was introducing me to the awesomeness of the Muppets (The Muppet Show, Muppets Take Manhattan, The Great Muppet Caper, Muppet Babies, etc.)
When I first listened to this I felt all of my anger and hate melt away. It was then I knew the world needed to hear it. So fiercely did I believe this, that in 96' I had a plan to save the world by holding up various radio stations in order to force the public to listen. I wish I could say I regret doing this, but I truly felt I was doing the world good. Call me crazy, but...
What's that? Does anyone else hear voices? They are calling me away.
LOL some guy was arrested for threatening a radio station manager with bomb threats and holding him hostage, if he didn't play this song. What a Badass!
Jim Henson was underwater operating Kermit. This is a real swamp. The swamp scene took 5 days to film. What dedication! And it still looks real. Proof that the simplistic appearance of a puppet made of fabric is enough to warm the heart. People will look back at this and wonder, "hmmmm, I never did question where that puppeteer is? Where could he be?"
@Reignerific I guess it wasnt bad but to me for a muppet movie it was not the same... i dont know they just took the muppets and basicly took their best things and put it in a movie... I watched it and i would much rater watch the original show I did describe the movie badly but there are kids who never knew what the muppets really were and i think that this movie is exactly what they think of the muppets whether they think the movie good or bad it is not like the actual muppets dont you agree?
@Reignerific I guess it wasnt bad but to me for a muppet movie it was not the same... i dont know they just took the muppets and basicly took their best things and put it in a movie...

I miss all the good things that we use to have to watch on tv. I love the muppet show and fraggle rock I miss all the good things we as children used to watch. The shows now days are so terrible.
I'm currently 18, starting College and deciding my future. I listen to something like this and I wonder if it something I need to let go.
