this is sooo slow cant watch it in less than 30 min. I keep having to repeat and repaet. so annoying. But i have to say... it is a must see. pretty cool costume
This is my oldest memory :) I was four yrs old when I first saw it & hav never forgotten that chicken suit or the crocodiles. Just the memory of it makes me smile every time! Thanks for posting it.
@J7J7J7J7J7JJ7J7J7J7J They say ginger's don't have souls, but that's just an urban legend. The truth is people who cannot appreciate what the muppets offer are the real people who have no souls. Guess that makes you one of them.
the muppet show was s n l for kids and elton still sounds great all these years later even though i was born in 1980 so i was drving my parents nuts listening to his greatest hits vinyl album over and over and watching the muppet babies so i didnt see any of this stuff till re runs long live jim henson and the muppets :)
Hysterical! Lived it! I listened to this song on the radio when I was in 6th grade. Never knew what the heck the Crocodile Rock as, bit didn't care! Then -20 years later, my young daughter was in a jazz dance class & students were asked to bring ideas 4 a song from 1970s to choreograph 4 their spring recital. She was the only 1 who suggested anything, & she picked this song! So about 15 7-8 yr old girls did it, in reptile bell bottoms & 70's crisscross tops-really fun!

soo, this is why north americans like gays so much, because since children they are told to tolarate an adult man dressed with feathers and glasses with fluorescent colors and shinny...well I don't know how to call that shit in his head. Cee Lo sent me here too hahaha
@juliocesar24 This was made in the mid to late 80's (I bealive) also the muppet show was tageted towards Teens to adults, kids would not get the jokes in the muppet show. As well as many adult today because the humnor is comlex and make you think, but the humor is clean, unlike in shows shuch as Family Guy. There humor is simple yet crude and is coruppting todays youth, because parents let kid watch it.
@hiddenluv Another contemporary show that's funny as all get-out, yet still clean (or has jokes way over the kids heads if it's not) is The Red Green Show.
I was trying to tell everyone that Cee-Lo Green ripped off Elton John and stuff, but they thought that it was an original thought -_- Elton John is awesome :D
You twits...this was such an iconic moment in Muppet Show and TV history that Cee Lo didnt need to say squat! Him doing it was paying respect enough that it was not forgotten. I am sure you all know how big of a star Elton was back then. Stop the dumb slander.
Nah, if you do an homage like Cee-Lo did, especially of that caliber you don't HAVE to say you're doing it. People just know. It's not like he claimed he came up with it on his own. lol. It was a fantastic performance and I loved how much fun he had with it! He was laughing so much he forgot the words. hahaha
Another obvious source of inspiration for Lady Gaga: the list of artists she 'borrowed' stuff from (musically, but also in presentation) , seems to go on and on. I am not one of the haters, although not my taste, I think she is musically very talented, but you can hardly call her original.
O.O!!! i thought he stopped being famous like retired.....i liked it when he singed...even tho he was (gay),-- not by stupid but the other way, his songs were awesome :D
