Talk:Bein' Green

Previous discussions without headers

As regards association with issues of race (as claimed in the article), actually what I find impressive about the song is precisely that it's not about race, but quite literally about being green. Not black, not Jewish, not native american... just green. A lesser songwriter would have tried to shoehorn race into the song, and would have destroyed it, because it's purely a song about Kermit himself. And it's a great song. --Bonalaw 08:30, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

If you check the lyrics, it really seems to have nothing to do with race. You can read them here. This song is all about individualism, so that sentence about race should probably be removed. NipplesMeCool (talk) 22:53, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

umm... date?

"Frank Sinatra, 1970 album Sinatra & Company, and Greatest Hits Volume 2" Did Sinatra actually perform it two years before Kermit? -FZ 01:34, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

Yes. He did. Possibly three: some more research will be needed on that. --Telarc 10:33, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

No, No, No. Kermit the Frog performed it first. It was written in 1970 for Sesame Street. It was on their first album, The Sesame Street Book & Record (realeased in 1970). So Kermit performed it first and Frank Sinatra recorded it less than a year later.

Song

It's Not Easy Being Green (Song) By MC Lars, feat. Pierre Bouvier. Out Jan 2009, I think. --DyingxToxLivexAgain 17:37, 14 February 2009 UTC

Duet with Robin?

I seem to remember Kermit singing it in a duet once with his nephew Robin?? I think it was in one of the movies. I think it started with little Robin being heartbroken and singing it, and then Kermit came and comforted him. But it says nothing about that here, and I can't find it on Youtube. Anyone else remember that? --87.60.178.15 (talk) 20:16, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
