Dixie Chicks - The Rainbow Connection

[72455gina]

Freedom is STILL free.. well, it is rather expensive since ... well, you know... and I am NOT referring to our current leader ...  Keep playing, Keep Singing, Keep Dreaming.... :)

[72455gina]

Dixie Chicks Rock.. you have ALWAYS rocked.....

[bhstaik]

People seem to forget what freedom of speech means. It meen being able to speek your mind without being attached or punished for it. Freedom of speacch means nothing if everyone is to afraid to speak becvause of the attacks an reprisals for doing so. And yes boycotting and burnning of records is attacks and punishments.

[DawnMelodyMusic]

does anyone know if this is available on itunes or anything like that?

crying. beautiful



[partidroid]

@SingJiya don't bother responding to my comments... go suck a lemon instead.

[partidroid]

@SingJiya wow! People like you really amaze me, full of shit and all... these girls are so beautiful and very talented and here you are defending a dickless fuck that rape the country for eight years, where is he now, to afraid to show his face in public... fucking retard, I bet he is glad he finished his daddy's war at the expense of this great nation. Unnecessarily putting brave soldiers in front of bullets but he was too much of a pussy when the flying shoe was thrown at his ass.

[OswaldRabbitFan]

Well, uh...no offense to the Dixie Chicks, but, uh...well, nobody sang it like Kermit and Jim.

[bus114]

The Chicks are twits. However, if you listen only to musicians with brains, you'll miss out on some good music. Like this very nice version of Rainbow Connection.

[celtdoggy]

I think this is a really sweet rendition of this song. There is honesty in these voices.

[mattreiter18]

Such a beautiful rendition. I <3 DC

[Feather2Freak]

What?

[bamamamacat]

The Constitution provides the same freedom for Natalie Maine's comments as it provides freedom for the various comments herein. As controversial and inappropriate as some may find Ms. Maine's opinions, and as crude and unproductive as I may find some of the comments posted here, and as unwelcome as my comments will probably be to those same individuals, we all live in a country where we are free to speak our minds. To participate in censorship and still lay claim to that freedom is hypocritical

[MykeV3]

@bamamamacat I agree with you 100%. Everyone isn't going to agree with what everyone says because it's not a perfect world. I believe it was Voltaire who said "I do not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it." ...One thing I can say though is this is a pretty good version of the song. = )

[1kings1918]

@bamamamacat . . I don't think anyone is denying the Dixie Chicks have a *right* to say whatever they want. I think the Dixie Chicks wanted to have their say and not have any consequences. Their fans similarly have a right to think, say, and do as they please. Right or wrong, sometimes there are consequences to taking a stand for what you believe. They just need to be big girls and understand that. It's not a Constitution issue. It's a market place issue.

[heymrk]

Wonderful song, wonderful musical group, poor production value. The audio channel is too high for the normalized voice track. Should have been fixed in the studio.

[pibevic]

I love the song, the performance, and the political courage of these talented "chicks". Bravo!

[schemer1991]

the girls connection

[Pugiron]

Nice cover, but there is only one Jim Henson, the only real voice for Kermit and the heart and soul of the Muppets.

[TheaterServant]

@Pugiron Amen all the way there dude!! He really was a SAINT wasn't he?

[liddlepeep]

What album is this on

[gorillashop]

@liddlepeep "Mary Had a Little Amp" 2004 - Various Artists Very difficult to find it seems it out of print. Good Luck.

[biukucanoe]

I won't watch this unless they apologize to GW Bush!! Wait... damn.....

[Dgahn]

What album is this on? I love their version of this song and I'd love to buy it! Any help finding it would be greatly appreciated.

[mephistofleas]

@FredericaBimble ~ did I say it bothered me? I think Muppets rock, as do Chicks of Dixie...

[StumptownBoy]

Excellent take on this fine tune.

[TEMPmichaelhansen]

pretty good, also LANDSLIDE

[joy2daworld]

love this

[MarsMartz]

Lovely video!

[eduardoafernandes86]

this a beautiful music.DIXIE FOREVER

[ker8]

My 3 favorite parts

1.) Emily reading to Gus who's looking soo perfectly happy at 2:55

2.) 2:56 Slade putting makeup on Natalie

3.) 3:52 and on, Gus tapping along to Emily playing banjo!

Have to say it was hard to pick just three b/c there's lots of great moments :)

[shiauko]

Sorry Dixie Chicks. I love you guys, but Kermit's version is better <3

[SingJiya]

Problem is that Bush is a man of God and since the Dixie Chicks serve Darkness they wanted Satan to be their President. Well guess what, now they have the Evil One in Office and the USA is 4 times more in dept since he became President, funny that their Grandparents are the ones running around with white hood over there heads. Anyway Country folks are hip to them that is why no one plays their music. They just Killed there Career.

[codyhimes]

@SingJiya Then why are you posting on a video of them? Doesn't that tie *you* to Satan or something?

[loonyswankbin]

I love the Dixie Chicks and this song remake is awsome

[mephistofleas]

♪ Why are there so many ♫ songs about rainbows ♪ but people only seem to sing oooonnnne....

[FredericaBimble]

@mephistofleas - Write a new one if it bothers you.

[ifrscpa]

I miss USA! The pictures are good!! Thank you♪

[sandirandy]

wow... its amazing how a song take you back to such a better time...this song reminds me of only good memories.. simpler times... thans chicks.. xoxo

[CSSTACER]

Who sings this song? Sounds like Natalie...

[MorsmordreMaiden]

One of the best covers I've heard.

[cmancuc]

Thanks for sharing this. The girls obviously spent a lot of time on the arrangement.....so very well done...they should release this...they got the geunine love across in their singing

[esteban0321]

That little kid pitching to Natalie is a stud. He looks like he's about two and he already has better pitching form than some ten year olds. Thanks for the post. Dixie Chicks rock.

[esteban0321]

The sisters are hot. Nice song. There is something so right about the Dixie Chicks. They make me want to have a family.

[Jamiethewookie]

Only discovered this version of the classic song not two days ago and was well and truly sucked in. Lovely cover xxx

[avajoyce]

Beautiful

What else can I say?

[MiMiBerre]

This is our indoor colorguard song, I love it!

[musemorris]

It just doesn't get any better than this! ~~~~~~~

[TheaterServant]

@musemorris what about Kermit the Frog singin?

[BobCMcDonald]

@musemorris Well there is Kermit's version

[wcd47]

Great song and Great ladies that sang it.....Only thing missing was Kerrmit.....LOL

[ILuvCaroline]

Where did you get some of this footage? Because I have'nt seen it anywhere else.

[Lazerguy5]

Some of the footage is from VH1's "Behind the Music", some from VH1's "Dixie Chicks All Access" and others from the Dixie Chicks film "Shut up & Sing"

[Brychase121]

This video is so cute and personal. I say it's personal because it shows what their lives are like a little bit.

[wc652]

This song is so enjoyable!

Beautiful sentiments.

It's a pleasure to view.

[GinnyGryff]

Does anyone know if this is off of an album and if so, which one?

[BisexualsRBeautiful]

...that was a compliment, by the way =)

[BisexualsRBeautiful]

Oh, Awesome video :) :)

I adore this song, I didn't think anyone could sing it as well as the little green frog xD.

[xangelfshx]

I love this song...its sweet and sad (reminds me of Jim Henson when I hear it).

[aestheticvoyage]

little dixie chicklets, amazing video. god bless.

[histhespian]

Wow! There is too much I like about this video to list here. God bless you girls and your babies. Keep up the good music.

[kanayd]

Beautiful song, beautiful video, awesome group! I love these women.

[pattypopping]

I imagine the kids are probably the kids of the Dixie Chicks

[arlpoon]

The Dixie Chicks' Chicks.

[vivsmiles]

would anyone know where to find sheet music for the violin solo?

beautiful song xx.

[b3witch3d]

beautiful:)

[friendsroxs101]

who's the outrageously cute little boy? sounds like only one is singing. But very good! so sweet!

[jcoverload]

Oh boy...I'll never sing this to my cat again...and it's got nothing to do with the dixie chicks.

[noogens]

I've been looking for this version! I went to a wedding and they played this song. I know it's "The Rainbow Connection," but I didn't know who sang it.

[kamichamakarinchufan]

they sing it so beautifully <3

[mmabrey13]

the album was called may had a little amp

[TheRealPumpkinLover]

What album or purpose was this recorded for? I had no idea the Chicks recorded this song. Love it!

[buhaymusikero]

i really love this song! it reminds me of my high school life. we often sing this song in our physics class. :) ang i do love the fact that dixie chicks also sung this song. :)

[Magic71785]

no matter who sings this song, it's great every time

[friendsroxs101]

yes but i like sarah's m. more! But they're great. I know it's soooooooooooo sweet and great.......especcially thinking bout Jim Henson!:-(

[pattypopping]

We do still have Freedom of Speech afterall in this country. And if we did not have that, we would not be a democracy.

[pepsiwilly]

I like it! But I wonder where this song is from? It's not in any of their albums...

[Wild0ne189]

Its from the Muppet Movie. originally performed by Kermit the Frog and written by Paul Williams and Kenneth Ascher

[xTrinity99x]

I ♥ the Dixie Chicks soooooooooo much!!! Thx 4 makin' this vid!!!

[bevo312]

i love the dixie chicks and always will. i don't care what they said. if people were only fans of celebrities that said everything perfect, there wouldn't fans at all. no one is perfect and it's okay for them to have their own opinions. i still say the dixie chicks rock and are my FAVORITE group forever.

[cherd1971]

such a beautiful song

[eacans]

can anyone explain what this song is talking about...it confusing and very loose...:S

[dreamdevil2]

Exactly LOL. The song is about the universal connection to rainbows, though none of us really know why, all we have is the hope of finding our "rainbow connection", even though we're all so different.

[eacans]

and what is rainbow connection again/? lol....i see what you explain but i dont get the overall picture.:S

[shagr14]

It was written about following and persuing your dreams. Talking about following your own rainbow. One day you'll find your own rainbow aka your dream. That was the intention of the song when Jim Heson and the gang created it.

[eacans]

ok thnx...makes sense...atleast now when i listen to the song i will be able to make better sense of it.

[Adrianics4k]

'the rainbow connection' itself refers to the meaning of life and the song is about that feeling all of us get from time to time when we wonder why we've been put on this earth.

jim henson was a lover and a dreamer who spent his life making the best out of what he was born to do - understanding that is key to understanding the song

[mickeys12]

People, if your going to talk about anthing focus on the song

[ieswashere]

love 0:55 xD

[jjguy23]

Check Out their New song

Dixie Chicks Lucky One

[54spiritedwill54]

A very nice song.

[cragen712]

This is a cool song

[ZumKotzenMitDemNamen]

Peace, guys. :-D

[johnnys55s]

sorry im canadian so the deliverance is real ? aaahhh red neck hick inbreads, they dont know just what they have in the chicks ,unlike george w ,the dixie chicks care about you and your loved ones ! PEACE ! brothers in arms !!

[DjKForJonasBrothers]

ireallydeekay why but.. this song kinda wants to make me cry. its really pretty and soft. i would like to sleep to it and name it my lullaby =}

[mhar17]

Nice song, great voice. I love this song. This is my lullaby. Try the Carpenters` version. It`s so cool!

[Eccabay77]

*shakes head about the people who are arguing about American Politics*

Its a video of 'The Rainbow Connection' FFS, why are you all going on about America being a Republic?!

I like this song, its pretty, and a lovely cover by the Dixie Chicks :)

[uncsucksdick]

I agree. This is a pretty song.  I just can't stand idiots. Sorry if you were bothered by my comments.

[mrkennedyzx]

hey all

[doctorvader]

I bet if you put this on th radio it would land at #1 on billboard-the dixie chicks should make a children's record like for charity and get their freinds to join I'm sure many would say they shouldn't be allowed but they sound great no matter what they sing- i love the part where adrian pasdar is with Jackson slade sending a kiss to mommy , adrian's a bit grey then he's 45 right now, in a little beach bum look -cool look though-cant wait to see him race his yacht in late june to hawaii -LOL

[jaksmama]

SO sad how Americans claim a democratic society, when one remark wipes a band out of existence.

I've been enjoying them the whole time :) Thank god I'm Canadian.

[uncsucksdick]

America is not a democracy. It is a republic. I'm glad You are Canadian too. We don't need idiots like you in this country. We have enough fools here in the first place. Mostly democrats like you. The Dixie Chicks didn't get wiped out of existence.  If anything they are even more popular.

[cammiedave]

I'm a Canadian as well, and living in the United States, and yes...paying my taxes...YOU need to learn what the difference between democratic and republicans mean.....go back to school and pass grade 6 this time you redneck moron.

[uncsucksdick]

You are another idiot who thinks we live in a democracy. I have a history degree. YOU are uneducated if you think this is a democracy. It is a REPUBLIC. What does the Pledge of Allegiance say? There is no doubt in my mind you are a democrat. Make sure you know what you are talking about before you start calling people names. Learn the difference between a republic and a democracy before you make any more of a fool out of yourself. I'm glad I'm not a stupid like you.

[cammiedave]

First of all, I am a University graduate with a degree in Economics, and a minor in Mathematics...oh and that is an American university, not a Canadian one. If I was still voting in Canada, I'd be registered as a Progressive Conservative...not the democrat your mind thinks I am. Oh btw,,,I am 50, and have served the country to give you the pleasure of freedom. Enough said.

[nocalsteve]

Do you even know the definition of the word "republic"? You're comparing apples and oranges. The USA is a democratic republic, which means a democracy with an elected head-of-state (president). You are the one making a fool out of yourself. Like you said above "we have enough fools here already." And, you're one of them. Please don't pick any more fights with Canada that only make all of us Americans look stupid.

[TexJett]

Cute....I miss the Chicks!!

[laurieheartsdcx]

Damn they're good. Seriously, they never get below perfection. Love the Chicks, musically, politically, and what I can tell of them personally. Great stuff. Great video, too. Nice job. Thanks for this.

[Soon2beonbroadway]

@laurieheartsdcx I wholeheartedly agree with every single thing that you said. Like, you took the words right out of my mouth two years before I was going to say them.

[d1x1e1]

I love you for posting this..cant believe i didnt see it sooner x

[KindredCommunity]

is this available to buy or download anywhere???

And yes, the chicks were so right about Bush.

All you haters must be eating your words by now - ha!

[d1x1e1]

Haha! I love the fact all the haters are now like "huh..turns out Bush is a jackass..fancy that"

[plzIneedhelp]

fuck you uk fag

[d1x1e1]

oh please.

[schusterlehrling]

A very nice song.

Makes me feel like being green.

[heartbreakermdp]

lovely. i'd never heard this before. is this from a movie soundtrack, a single b-side, or just unreleased?

[6tinkerbelle9]

youve never heard this song before? or just their version....the song is really old...from kermit the frog

[SSakura567]

the true song is from the muppets movie it is old.

[CalfCreek4x12x08]

the chicks have more talent in one freckle then most of these modern crap singers from all genres got in thier entire bodies. and no, thats NOT an exaggeration.

[Lovethedixiechicks13]

awesome video. totally stellar! LOVED IT

[jryan10058]

I love this song but I am new to utube and don't know how to record it

[ImaginationBlue]

Try TubeTV if you're on Mac. good luck.

[aspiringingenue]

Even though I'm partial to Kermit the Frog, I like this version of the song too. :)

[RyHex311mit]

Yes, Nathan Petrelli at 3:47!

[kertzthersking]

wow... this sucks. lol sorry :(

Remembering Sunday by All Time Low is better

[54spiritedwill54]

WOOOW! That was amazing.

[friendlycowboy]

the dixie chickks rockk, i miss them, their music stold my heart, love the fiddle and banjo. this song is beautiful. thankyou SO DAMN MUCH for posting it.

[ronhronh]

Beautiful music.

Don't listen to anyone who tells you to shut up. When no one speaks out, atrocities continue to occur. You don't need to be a politician to know that senseless killings are wrong. Go Dixie Chicks.

[johnnys55s]

those haters are too stupid to realize that they were speaking out for the best interest of everyone, why send your loved ones to die in a forign country for a war monger and his daddy !

[addup]

Nice never knew they released an actual video for it. Nice upload

[jangel07]

miss the Chicks...

too bad the whole thing just couldn't have been a do over.

they are as American as any you see in your everyday life.

wish things were different.

[countrycowgirl317]

very cool ♥ it

[carolin988]

beautiful video and song!

[yomamadontdanz]

Natalie states that Black soldiers are like all chocolate,very addictive and an out right afro-desiac!!!

[yomamadontdanz]

I thought Natalie's fling was with the late Black Moses himself...Issac (Shaft)Hayes.

[sherfdad]

These girls are talented. They need to shut up and sing. Especially the fat one.

[bigfan1o1]

love the song where is this version available

[Bdear1]

Great job, love the DC and hope for more videos like yours that show them as they are, and deserve. Absolutly wonderful

[kattiehaze]

I love this song! I thought only Kermit sang it, though.

[dixiekat2007]

That was amazing!!!!! Thanks for posting!!!!!

[Jagger222221]

DIXIE CHICKS WERE RIGHT ABOUT BUSH

[tvskatieboo]

does anyone know where i can get this song by them? its really good.

[Saqua2284]

[owenburnett]

[SimplyNatalie272]
