The Muppet Show - Blackbird

[mimi20210]

This Beatles song played at my Zio's funeral...(uncle)

[LuvTheBeatles4Bianca]

How can someone dislike anything involving this song??? more importantly the beatles??? jerks!

[mrallen816]

5 dislikes? really?...just 5 haters

[SomeDoucheBag23]

You know, with the success of the movie you could probably convince Disney to rerun these shows including Muppets Tonight.

[katielovesgleepoke]

I miss the muppets so much! i'm so glad they're new movie comes out soon.

[elgrantioberni]

infinit love and tenderness...

[MurderOfSuburbia]

This is fantasic! :D

[Keimori12]

It's a good thing the replay button is digital and not a real button on my compter.

If it was I would have had to have it replaced several times from this video alone.

[lilmizzallyfull]

Floyd is the bass player, and left handed, like Paul McCartney!! <3 ahh I love this!

[jenirocksotb]

I'll be damned... 

[GolliwoggMusic]

Golliwogg APPROVES of this song.

[1982pencil]

It sounds like Dylan. Hilarious.

[NightmareLoveForever]

I wish I could've watched this show when it was on DIsney Channel... :c

[imyourgalfriday]

@NightmareLoveForever Wow When i was a kid, we watched this show on local channel King 5 Sundays at 7:00 ~ with commercials and everything. Like, in the 70's. my sister and I could not wait! we'd have dinner, take a bath, get our jammies on. We had to go to bed right after cuz tomorrow was a school day...

[DragonChaserKev]

The Muppets did so many great things.... and combining greatness with greatness is super greatness. GREAT!

[cujo503]

best cover ever

[jessiemaureen003]

@LeBartman Except he can sing.

[coconutgirl96]

Funny how Joan Baez hosted and they sing a beatles song on the show. She was completly obsessed with John and even had an affair with him!

[Arosin90]

this song is very relaxing

[LeBartman]

He sounds more like Bob Dylan than Paul McCartney lol.

[raegan632]

Floyd is the shiz!!!

[fatcoyote2]

The Muppets have too much self respect to be on a show with a cast that fake. The Gorillaz too.

[ruderkonge1976]

funny how all the muppets are lefthanded. I am lefthanded myself (but not a Muppet :-))

[TheParebear]

Hahaha this is better than the Glee version!

[madlibpoet]

@TheParebear Why haven't the Muppets been on Glee?

[madlibpoet]

@TheParebear Why haven't the Muppets been on Glee?

[displacedcheesehead]

@madlibpoet because glee sucks....

[madlibpoet]

@displacedcheesehead okay.

[TheParebear]

@madlibpoet No but the song Blackbird has been. When Pavarotti dies

[jonrom]

Floyd's the man!

[NYYTeixecute09]

is that keith richards singing? sure looks like him

[stupidllama38]

And people wonder why I own an Electric Mayhem shirt...

[MrsMitchelMusso24]

Oh, my God. Where has this video BEEN all my life?!

[NeonPeacepower]

Best puppets ever, best beatles song ever.

[babymoondancer]

So romantic!!

[shadowcrow5]

its ironic that Paul sings this song and is the bassist :)

[KufstoanaRastaman]

No Joan Baez, but Floyd is singing like Bob Dylan !!!

[taddyd1]

Where's Queen Joan Baez?

[batmanrox102]

one time i found a random blackbird and sang this to it with my guitar , it got freaked out and pooped on me..... guess it wasn't meant to fly to the light of the dark black night. :(

[MrJphelps5]

this is when diseny was good. now or days its all marketing

[breezyinny]

i love this one!!!!

[titmousetalks]

lololol

[herbienbrian]

thats amazing O.O this is exactly what I pictured in my head when I would listen to this song.

[Lillymn42]

How can you not love these old tapes? When is the last time that you weren't ashamed or embarrassed at something the kids were watching? When was the last time parents and kids of ANY age could sit down together for an hour once a week and enjoy themselves? Even if all they showed were reruns of this on Sunday night as a 'filler time slot' I think it would be a hit.

[rgkskate02]

love this song, love beatles and muppets

[GreatAuntCayce]

Could you please upload the video of Dr. Bunsen Honeydue rapping on "The Muppets Tonight" and the video where he tries on different clothes?

[nitramgnal]

excellent and very groovy.

[DutchHeartMonger1]

Sooo awesome, such an sincere version of this beautiflu Beatles song!

[MrIpenguin12]

Two very inspirational things in one video.

Awesome

[ixipower2527]

Love this song its so awesome. kinda fast though. Love the beatles!!

[MegaBlue1990]

My favorite Beatles song;I love it.Thanks for posting! ^-^

[42whatelse]

Its The Muppets Show meets the Beatles!

So pretty of the song!

[nedarbnieks]

Janice is the guitarist for Electric Mayhem, Floyd is the left-handed bassist. The Muppet Show was NEVER a kids' show; it was, from the beginning, a prime-time variety show for all ages, and was especially intended as an outlet for mature audiences and adults. It was disguised on the surface so adults could watch it with kids in the room. There was a LOT of censorship and alteration of song lyrics (one example) to make them "kid safe."

[iamthewalrus3654]

I always wondered how the Muppets played instruments. lol

[Blohr11]

The muppet guitarist looks like Duane Allman.

[Feghoot]

Holy crap, this is actually a great cover of this song.

[melidia26]

bueniiiiiiisimo

[longfoot]

Where is Joan Baez?  Playing the crow?

[genbairen]

aww I love this song and Floyd sings very well.

<3

[Matticus1231234141]

for everyone, and anyone, I'm not referring to this video in particular, but I've seen people saying OMFG this is a kids show LOL, yeah, w/e even if it were there's no reason to look into the music or anything regarding any type of message or badness for your children, if there was a message it would read "This is really good music, and we'd like to share it with you, so for those on 50 ways to leave your lover so on, this is just about good music, and hey it teaches your kids to appreciate it.

[gregoir]

Are you sure it isn't 50 ways to love your leaver? lol AMEN bro! I love the synth.-keys on this!

[CauseImTheTaxman]

But once you think about it...there is no way you could be negative about this! This is pure awesome. The Muppets and the Beatles in one thing...the world is a better place.

[Bitsy83]

Now all we needed was either Paul, George or Ringo to have guest starred on the Muppet Show in the 80s and it would've been Nirvana. Aw well, still great segment.

[Beatlesfanish]

@CauseImTheTaxman I think so too

[oreospapa]

Too bad Disney isn't still showing the mupppet show. That'd be so awesome.

[palitodepan123]

aaah!

the mupppets like the beatles :)

[LStein]

This is the U.K. Spot for the ep. None of the U.K. Spots featured guest stars. I hope this helps you.

[jazzfolkrocker]

every episode has a guest star, it's probably put there for a point of reference.

[taddyd1]

where's Baez!?
