![]() ![]() I love it! This song feels slightly mythical to me even though there’s nothing really to suggest that theme. It’s a wonderful place with gorgeous scenery that in winter looks like Narnia and in summer looks like Narnia the day it started to thaw… It also has deep-fried pizza, Irn-Bru and 24 hour bakeries that can make your arteries dry up from 50 paces. I’ve been lucky enough to visit Scotland several times as my brother lived there for a while. Regarding this number, Torch songs don’t get much torchier than this and Miss Piggy is at her most beautiful here. If the early cancellation of “The Muppets (2015)” has done anything for Muppet fans it’s left us with a nice cliff hanger regarding Kermiggy’s status that the writers can exploit/ignore as they see fit. I’ve really enjoyed the new depths being given to Piggy since “The Muppets (2011)” and I like that she’s calling Kermit out on the fact that he blows hot and cold (he is after all an amphibian). She and Kermit have certainly had a tumultuous relationship over the years and yet they obviously care very deeply for each other. I love the frog humor almost as much as I love the bouncing Kermit that follows the lyrics!Īlthough this isn’t a Kermit chart per se, it’s going to be impossible to write it without featuring him heavily so I guess we might as well also discuss the elephant (er, pig) in the room that is Miss Piggy. Perfect Muppet entertainment! There’s a calypso feel to this song despite its slightly folksy opening. It’s bright and breezy, well written and performed, and fun for the whole family. I’ve always liked this direct to video show. Not just because it appears on the “It’s Not Easy Bein’ Green” sing along video, but also because it was featured on a Muppets trailer from around the same time. It’s no surprise really that Billy Bunny’s Animal Songs has featured more than once on my animal charts, but this is probably the song from that special I know best. It’s a bit dismal and not nearly froggy enough for this chart, but it is awesome and worth a listen!ġ0 – Frog Talk – Billy Bunny’s Animal Songs It appeared in episode 123 and is Floyd’s suggestion for a new theme tune. When I pick the songs for my charts I rank each contender out of 100 and every single song on this list scored in the 90s! In fact, only one possible contender dipped below 80 and I’d like to give that song a quick honourable mention – it’s “ Fugue for Frog” from “The Muppet Show”. Whether they’re green, blue or aquamarine and say “ribbit” “croak” or “yaaaaaaay!” frogs seem to be incredibly talented creatures. Kermit (and his cousins) have appeared in an overwhelming amount of Henson/Muppets output and that’s reflected in the quality of the work in this week’s chart. Although he wasn’t identified as a frog until later, Kermit was around from the start of Jim’s career and as such frogs have played an integral role in Henson history. ![]() Kieran Moore – As sure as night follows day and a second season of “The Muppets” follows the first, it was inevitable that a Muppet frog chart would happen eventually. ![]()
