Song of the Week: Chapter 5 Kermit: Being Green

This weeks song is "Bein' Green“, a popular song originally written by Joe Raposo in 1970 for the children's show Sesame Street where it was performed by Kermit the Frog . As the Wikipedia post on the song notes, "'It's not easy being green' is a phrase that appears in pop culture as an expression of melancholy. In the song, Kermit begins by lamenting his green coloration, expressing that green 'blends in with so many ordinary things.'"

Kermit the Frog is a Muppet who was first introduced in 1955 and is one of
puppeteer Jim Henson's most famous and beloved creations. As the Answers.com post on the singer / actor notes, Kermit was performed by Henson until his death in 1990. Since then, he has been
performed by Steve Whitmire.
