Flailing Away with Frustrated

Okay , a happy song to offset the sad song

I'm a huge Muppet fan and thought their music was always fun and sometimes even a bit insightful. My favorite all time song is Rainbow Connection for two reasons, 1) the banjo is the main instrument and 2) you have Kermit playing the said banjo and singing. Perfection! So here are the words to Rainbow Connection... just to bring happy thoughts to you.

Why are there so many songs about rainbows
And what's on the other side?
Rainbows are visions, but only illusions,
And rainbows have nothing to hide.
So we've been told and some choose to believe it
I know they're wrong, wait and see.
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,
The lovers, the dreamers and me.

Who said that every wish would be heard and answered
When wished on the morning star?
Somebody thought of that, and someone believed it,
And look what it's done so far.
What's so amazing that keeps us stargazing
And what do we think we might see?
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,
The lovers, the dreamers, and me.

All of us under its spell,
We know that it's probably magic...
... Have you been half asleep?
And have you heard voices?
I've heard them calling my name.... I
s this the sweet sound that calls the young sailors?
The voice might be one and the same
I've heard it too many times to ignore it
It's something that I'm s'posed to be...
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,
The lovers, the dreamers, and me.
Laa, da daa dee da daa daa,La laa la la laa dee daa doo...

Kermit has always been my favorite! The two songs that he sang that I love are (1) Rainbow Connection and (2) It's Not Easy Being Green. Gotta love Kermit!
Jim Henson was a genius.

glad everyone liked the song and yeah, I have to agree Rho that It's not easy being green is another favorite of mine. I am also partial to some of the Christmas songs the Muppets performed with John Denver as they were excellent.

Scott, I can't imagine why this song appeals to you... ha!
