The Real Slim Kermie Song - Kermit the Frog - Muppets

OK. Here's the story on this song. I made this song back in 2000 when Eminem's "The Real Slim Shady" song was on the top of the charts. I've done this bad Kermit impression since high school. For some reason, one night for my friends I started rapping in my Kermit voice. It got big laughs! Thus, "Slim Kermie" was born.

I wrote the lyrics to "The Real Slim Kermie" at home. As I wrote it, I tried to match the cadence of Eminem. Eminem has several expletives in his song. I decided that I would make my song friendly for kids, since they all know Kermit from Sesame Street.




I recorded the song on my computer at home. I also used samples from the real Muppets in the song. Someone once emailed me and said, "I like your Kermit voice, but the Miss Piggy at the beginning does not sound even close". Funny thing is- that is really Miss Piggy. She's saying "Testing one, two, three" from a "Pigs in Space" episode where she is trying to talk over the space ship's intercom system.

Back in 2000, Napster was going crazy! For all you kids out there, Napster was a place you could download all your music for free! I uploaded the "Slim Kermie" and it went completely viral. It was shared and traded all around the world. The song even received some radio airplay!

At the end of the song, I included an email address, just so I could gauge the response to the video. I received a ton of email from all almost every country in the world. People used to ask me- did you make any money from the song. The answer is "no". I never made a penny. I did it purely for fun.

One more question I get is- do you still have the email address mentioned at the end of the song. The answer is "yes". People still email me, and I respond if I can.

Someone here on YouTube took the song and made a video out of it. It may have been a user called "Princess543543". Whoever did it- it obviously took some time to create- and I think they did a great job!

Thanks!
