Debbie Harry & Kermit the Frog - The Rainbow Connection

[kzbxvz]

Debbie Harry & Kermit is a wonderful duo but where the hell is miss Piggy? lol!

[NyanBunny98]

@southpark3003 I'm possibly one of the only kids at my high school to understand stuff like this. I respect where you're coming from. :)

[MrInternette]

In 1996,a man broke into a New Zealand radio station, held the manager hostage, and his demand was for the station to play "Rainbow Connection" by Kermit the frog nonstop

Thumbs up so people can see this :)

[NewEraOutlaw]

Why ARE there so many songs about rainbows? I don't even-

[runningwolfkenpo]

I wonder how many drugs she is on during this song?

[ItsMeFletcher]

@runningwolfkenpo Apparently since Heart of Glass was released in 1979 and Blondie became popular in the mainstream she's been almost totally sober. Who knew?

[12SuperRandom]

Debbie Harry was so goddamn beautiful

[MagicEmperor]

I would so make love with that gorgeous angel.

Oh, and Debbie's nice, too.

[DukeTravers]

have you been half asleep and have you heard voices?

Jim Henson, I knew insanity had to do with it.

[ohioplayer]

absolutely gorgeous...Deborah, not Kermit

[2412username]

back when music actually sounded good...

[MegaMrMysterio]

as kermit would say yaaaaaayyyyyyyy!

[danney007]

it's moments like this that make me so grateful that we have youtube...

[sothim]

@danney007 You may have youtube, but not the content. Just like "we" had Napster and the rest of great sites to find all you want in seconds, the music and video mafia (MPAA el. al) will fuck it all up as long as they can. Enjoy as long as you can. I made a youtube playlist of really rare songs; out of 30, 10 were already removed due to the mafia...

[sothim]

Actually I'm very surprise that this video is not yet taken down, it contains IP of the series and event music content that surely is more worth in some fat asshole's pockt than the common public.

[DukeTravers]

@sothim then either it somehow has snuck under all those ravenous corperations (disney owns the franchise) or you and many others have been very wrong about somethings.

[sothim]

@DukeTravers Ok, I'm probably wrong. In reality they are all-loving and caring beings. Suing someone that dances to a song in a youtube video or that old gradma for filesharing that doesn't even own a computer surely helps all of mankind... Just in a bit mysterious ways..

[DukeTravers]

@sothim Have you ever recieved one of those replies two a comment you made to long to remember, and say "woah, What the heck did I write to get someone to say that?"

this just caused it.

[thomaskaaz1]

i'm going back in time and marrying her

[wantaro8]

I like kermit( U´艸｀)

[kristenkari04]

where did the backround frogs come from?

[LordTyrano1988]

I love her...

[alevsener2]

makes me cry everytime...

i LOVE The Muppets

[electrofantasy100]

Esta canción si que me llega al corazón

[WhosKylaAgain]

I memorized this entire song:)

[pirategrlb]

I'm only 16, so the muppets weren't rlly on tv when I was young. I am solo glad my grandparents introduced me to the muppets tho when I was little! My whole family went to see the movie for my birthday and I was on the brink of tears when this came on, and that's a big deal for me bcuz I NEVER cry!! Just goes to show u how beautiful and timeless this song is

[wickedfeylady]

This song always makes me cry

[czech698]

wwwgreatbuyoutletscom wwwtopfuelsavercom

[ThorFrom204]

What a super song! I think it's high time that The Muppet Show returned to prime time television. I loved that show!

[PajamasandMore]

Debbie and Kermit are awesome!!

[ccipollini1984]

Why is it the Brits have such a connection to Blondie?

[slh950]

@ccipollini1984 more so Australia ... they had their first hit on the Australian charts, then they went wild in England before the U.S finally took to them with Parallel Lines

[Brittanyluvsmj]

[labonath151]

:")

[southpark3003]

anyone else cry during the new muppet movie during this song??? i was tearing!!! kids these days have no idea how great it was growing up in the 80s / early 90s



[kornnut43]

@southpark3003 My wife started to, then I unfortunately started to by default. lol I have no shame at all in admitted that, however.

It really was a great movie, though. Hilarious enough for adults to enjoy!

[ariesram74]

i cry when i hear this song - I'm 37! It's right up there with "Imagine"

[GoldenFroProductions]

The Movie was awesome.

[misspurplepenguin13]

Best song ever! :D

[KateBieber1000]

Hahaha. Anyone notice the little frogs in awe in the background staring at Debbie?

[KoolShuz]

love debbies little smile at "have you ever been half asleep"

[KoolShuz]

Love debbi

[SuperSeahorse22]

Jeez! Just how gorgeous is Debbie Harry?!! Sweet, sweet song.

[Marchant2]

One of the most unpretentious beauties to ever grace the world of celebrities. 

[rhymeandreasoning]

@TheKennyloveslife I am 46 and this song still chokes me up...something very beautiful and timeless about it..  :-) Kirk..Montreal, Canada

[KIWITHEUBERN00B]

wow, that's weird. there's suddenly a river flowing down my face.

[XsaadowX]

@KIWITHEUBERN00B Good to know I'm not the only one.

[shesingsalot101]

<3333

[jtanton10]

Kermit's a lefty :O

[2008Sameoldfitup]

nice

[OhJaniceWhyOhWhy]

This reminds me of being 10 and having no worries in the world. I miss those days.

[GordonHouseHusno]

34 people never saw a rainbow

[Loumbrat]

The lovers, the dreamers, and me...

[BobCMcDonald]

I am 15 and never had the Muppet show when i was young and i am so glad i found it

[jfalkins]

whoever disliked this has no soul...

[AxleTrade]

@jfalkins must be a ginger

[spiritgirl41192]

@jfalkins *fiery cavern and demonic laughter*

[18miranda101]

I was in 3rd when we sang this song with our music teacher Mrs. Sokle. MEMORY'S

[ChrisSuperstar]

This is ADORABLE! I love Debbie Harry, and I love this song.

[muppetsstoogesfan1]

im 15 and bawling my eyes out right now

[skrason]

@muppetsstoogesfan1 I'm 41 and I'm doing the exact same thing. My first crush and my favorite show when I was a kid, all in one. It's more than my little brain can take.

[rodriguez162]

why are there so many songs about rainbows and who gives a fuck anyway?

[gavriel1818]

@rodriguez162 Lol. I see what you did there.

[j1wilky]

this is so adorable!

[Bigbearbeau]

awwwwwwwwwwww

[almamatters2471]

happy birthday, Mr. Henson...your legacy will live on forever. For all the other dreamers out there - you are not alone.

[TheExploitedable]

Cute!??!

[andreyg91]

lovely <3

[A1l2l2e2n4]

Deborah Harry has a beautiful voice!

[Luindriel]

@A1l2l2e2n4 I just saw her last Friday. She STILL has a beautiful voice. :) Not sure about Kermit though lol.

[denosodenosbest]

Kermit da frog should be on american idol

[madmravyn]

@TheKennyloveslife I'm 31 and it did the same for me.

[canadianmobster]

@TheKennyloveslife WTF! This was 30 years ago. Nice math you youtube upvote whore!

[Mandolinpossum]

@canadianmobster I was born in the 90s, but I watched Fraggle Rock as a kid, does that make it any less of a childhood memory for me?

The Muppets have been a part of just about everybody under the age of fifty's childhood at this point. It doesn't have to be one specific scene that brings up awesome childhood nostalgia. 

[elpueblano009]

kirmit, you forgot rainbow in the dark...

[Umbereth]

Awwwww...I remember this! ~tears up~

[DTMiddle]

I have to say this is FAR FAR f'n better than some of the more recent covers that I have heard....

[sweetbabysprite]

One of my all time favorites. It can still make me cry.

[dramame]

lip sync some more debbie u sexy thing

[pitatoe]

@wordsmith  and neither debbie nor kermit were auto tuned...

[BoredAsa2x4]

@pitatoe I totally agree :]

[Iwasateeninthe80s]

I was a teen in the 80s and we were all crazy for Debbie Harry. And she was so popular and cool then, but not too cool to be on the muppet show. How cool is that?!

[wordsmith72]

The good old days when entertainment was REAL. No CGI, no graphics, just pure kid fun. I grew up watching The Muppet Show and after more than 30 years I STILL enjoy watching it!!

[KilldozerRocks]

Okay, now let's hear Kermit's version of Heart of Glass.

[Deepupinyah]

@KilldozerRocks YES!!!!

[dewfall56]

Good stuff. I remember this song from the first Muppet Movie. I had a recording of it as a kid.

[carat1120]

aww i miss kids shows being like this.

[sheitruis]

I am 12 so i never grew up with the muppets except for the few episodes my parents showed me. I feel bad for missing out on this really cool stuff... :(

[Useless2112]

@TheKennyloveslife I'm 21 and it brought a tear to my penis.

[MrLorenzotebano]

@Useless2112

yeah kermit is hot

[jrjacobsil]

Which is the greater honor - to sing with the Muppets or make the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?

[chuckyrocks4321]

if u dont know this song, u have no life XD

[LaundryBleach]

the puppeteer must be left handed! Paul McCartney must been doing the Kermit the frog! LOL

[electricpapaerlazer]

33 people don't have air conditioning. or hearts.

[12345deviant]

Debbie's an absolute gay icon, so a rainbow song is icing on the cake. Love you Debs!

[guy2814stewart]

Fab

[CrallsToTheWall]

I love Debbie's facial reaction to the rainbow appearing at the end. She looks like "WHOA, WHOA, WHAT?! How did that...whoaaaa mang..."

LOL. Love this video clip. Love it so much :)

[sr200179]

Kermit is a lefty! This song always makes me smile :)

[02684139755]

@sr200179

He isn't. The right hand (If you're right handed) is suppose to be on the the strings to be able to organize chords better. The left hand just strumms.

[drgodinho]

@02684139755 WRONG. I'm left-handed AND i play banjo just like in this video, so.. KERMIT IS LEFT-HANDED.

[CVZemo]

I want Jason Segel to sing this on the new Muppet Movie!

[anna4leafclover]

i k now this song by heart

[Morcaiden]

That was the best thing about The Muppet Show - the celebrities that visited the show and played along with Kermit and the crew (oh, and Pigs in Space, of course) Thanks for posting :-)

[blakedawg76]

*sigh*

[ptolemyblack02]

Was anyone else sent here VIA Jalopnik's M1 and Concord Car Porn?

[groovex73]

@ptolemyblack02 You must have gone so disturbingly dark and deep into the internet that you came out the other side.

Or you might just be in the eye of the storm...

[schef75]

World Heritage Performance

[edn172]

happy birthday deb

[DaveWollenberg]

Debbie singin' soprano, before she started smokin' cigarettes. Worst thing for a singer to do.

[springwell47]

@DaveWollenberg Actually, Debbie used to smoke occasionally at this time, but gave up many years ago. She has never been a heavy smoker. Her voice has obviously matured over the years but this is down to age. Saw Blondie live last year and her voice still sounded amazing.

[blairt1998]

Best duet ever- NO ARGUMENTS

[AdeBamforth]

I don't fancy yours much.



[BaconSodaCap]

im in love with Debbie Harry, I've always been.

[davida3606]

Why the hell did they make the Rainbow represent homosexuality? WTF! Now I don't like rainbows!

[Reguba24]

@davida3606 Symbols are what you make of them. I take fascination in how white light can be separated into what we know as a rainbow. :)

What's it mean to you?

[markydotcom]

God bless Debbie. The original and the best...

[martianboy]

Love the frog chorus that suddenly appears!

Plus Debbie looks fabulous!

[nymersic]

I don't know which one I < 3 more

.

[BRUC2016]

I know. Maybe I should rephrase my comment by saying "Debbie Harry IS an amazing person", but I haven't kept up with her career lately. Hey, some of us

are still stuck in the past :)

[RacerRickxx]

Debbie is soooooo stoned in this clip! lol Its amazing what she was able to do while being completely wasted.

[Rpaulie53]

@RacerRickxx absurd comment by you.

ive spent plenty of time stoned & worse...i can tell *out there* from straight.

nice try disparaging D. Harry, but your impressions are woefully errant.

[jas22]

@RacerRickxx what tells you that she's stoned? i just never notice things like that in people.

[sallyblack13]

I wish Jim were still alive

[12345deviant]

so super gay friendly

adore it

[DSKIPJONES]

Outacted by a green amphibian puppet. Says it all.

[scopeeyevideo]

No verse 2... :( But a nice rendition otherwise!

[macintosser]

Deborah... sheer magic... Kylie, MacDonna and Ladee Kaka are pale turds in comparison to this woman... Deborah's been a goddes ever since she's hit the musicindustry some 35 years ago... I am so in awe of this lovely woman...

[unpocodniol]

I guess Debbie came from another galaxy. This woman is just perfection among human race. Hard to describe, I'm just insanely in love.

[whofelix]

Oh Debbie!

[oscarcanterbury]

How beautiful was she? Wow!

[Celluloidkid]

Really ...WOW!!! awsome!!!!

[oregonboy55]

debbie is still beautiful

[merseymained]

@timothylhm- shouldn't it be the other way around, re Scarlet? @capnramsey68- 'mesmerize' is a word i used too, on Sunday Girl fb link just now. It's true. She did. Maybe still, a little?

[sounds73]

Hot 'n' Frog! :D

[marmite400]

Gorgeous talking and singing voice.  Debbie's, not Kermit!

[SenhorCroft]

i love this song... It takes me back... :)

It always puts a smile on my face!

[goodpostit]

love this song! always awesome. was sung on yo gabba gabba by the guy who i believe wrote it

[bitherwack]

Confession time: I've always felt that Madonna stole Deborah Harry's act.

It just seems so unfair! OK, go ahead,

now you can eat me alive...

[metronomic1]

@ihasch There are many inaccuracies in your statements.

[ihasch]

@metronomic1-Thanks.

[thewhiteknightful]

Kermit i see what your doing you ladies killer ;D

[Pachichin2012]

true it was very beautiful as all the woman when they are young and the song is beautiful

[JoeyMondayRefused]

She is perfect in this video

and a brilliant actress too!

When she smiles, i smile

[azielamadeo]

Here is a woman with class. Debbie Harry Baby!!!! She rules. She doesn't have to flash her body around cuz she has talent to back her up.

[robfergusonjr]

I still have this 45 vinyl ... 32 years later ...

[persilbran]

mindblowing to see two such all time greats performing together.

[zurisorty]

33 personas no tuvieron infancia

[jpbab00]

It was a damn shame that that Katy Perry had to go on sesame street and do her best to flash her tits all over.

[oceanlover999]

Debbie Harry is/was a class act - genuinely talented performer and musician - and irresistible lyricist. She was a true original who brought a unique look and sound to mainstream pop and wasn't afraid to take creative risks. Not like these 2-a-penny tarts of recent times - Gaga, madonna, britney - like someone else here said, they're just sad lip synchers - Debbie's the real deal y'all

[Freerider456789]

DAMN!!!! ITS A DOUBLE RIANBOW CONNECTION OOOOOOOOOHHH MMYYYY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!!

[JamesTKirkCobain]

Madonna, Lady GaGa ripped her off even though she is a real musician and they are nothing but karaoke lip synchers.

[ruffwork]

Ms. Piggy still looks as hot as she ever did ;-)

[stupidjunk978]

She looks so old these days. Shame, even the hot chicks get prune-y

[Smartboy8877]

@stupidjunk978

But then there are some who age very beautifully! I remember thinking that Hazel Shermet was a hot number well into her Sixties! I saw an interview of her conducted when she was eighty. In my opinion she was nothing to sneeze at then! And then there is Meryl Streep, Christine Baranski and Blythe Danner.

[stupidjunk978]

@Smartboy8877 Good point

[Smartboy8877]

@stupidjunk978

Thank you!

[gjm1953]

I saw this episode when it first aired. I remember thinking how she just seemed to be having such a great time. It was very sweet.

[Smartboy8877]

@gjm1953

I am sure that I would have a great time too if I got to be on the "Muppet Show"!

[gjm1953]

@Smartboy8877 Boy, ain't that the truth!!!

[Smartboy8877]

@gjm1953

It sure is! I am sure that, just about anyone would have a good time as a guest on the "Muppet Show"!

[gippygoo]

I'd like to dedicate this beautiful song to my GrandKids Leah, Isaiah and Mariah. GrandPa loves you Little Ones.

[xxzerawriotxx]

@gippygoo My Grandmother used to sing this song when I was a child. Bless you and never let a day go by when you dont tell the little ones you love them. There are few people on this earth as precious and more valuble then good Grandparents. your a fadeing breed Dear Sir

[gippygoo]

@xxzerawriotxx Thanks for your comments. You're a gracious lady.

[wong1340]

Double Rainbow Connection! Woah

[russ7796]

32 people have not heard the sweet sound that calls the young sailors.

[dyonker]

I saw Blondie in 2009 up in Allentown Pa.....she did a wonderful set, I was happy to be there!!!!

[Notwhatyouwanttohear]

@dyonker Allentown Parsons Project?

[timothylhm]

why does she look like scarlet johannson
