2009 Muppet Name That Tune

[The Count]

Suggested by GonzoLeaper, here are the rules of the game.

1 The first person posts a word that has any number of Muppet-related songs with that word in it. Because there could be multiple correct answers to that one one-word clue, the person who posts the word for others to guess should have an actual song in mind before starting the round.
2 Players will take turns guessing which song the person who posted the word was hinting at. They may request clues to aid them in guessing the correct song.
3 The word chosen can be either part of a song title or a line of lyric from the intended song.
4 Once a person has a specific guess, they can post either the song's title or the actual line of lyric containing the word.
5 If it's a song that's somewhat obscure, please post what Henson production it comes from for better gameplay.

Other than that, have fun and remember to play nice.

First turn goes to GonzoLeaper, so please wait until that member has posted before starting this on your own.

Thanks for putting this one up, Count.
Nice job on writing everything up too- I like.

Okay- which song to do first?

Here we go.

And the word is: tree

 

[MuppetMazz]

is it from The Muppet Show?

 

[GonzoLeaper]

yes (but not primarily)

 

[PurpleHonker]

Does Kermit sing it?

 

[MuppetMazz]

I think that I shall never see a poem as lovely as a tree - Wayne and Wanda

 

[GonzoLeaper]

Good guess, MuppetMazz- but that's not the one I was thinking of. And to PurpleHonker's question, it is in fact a song sung by Kermit.

 

[MuppetMazz]

so am I out because I guessed or can I guess again?

 

[PurpleHonker]

Is it It's Not Easy Being Green?

"And green can be big like an ocean, or important like a mountain, or tall like a tree"

I should think you could keep guessing until someone gets it right, but I'll defer to the moderators for that call.

Is it It's Not Easy Being Green?

"And green can be big like an ocean, or important like a mountain, or tall like a tree"

Yes- you got it, PurpleHonker! One of my favorite Kermit and Muppet songs in general of all!
"It's not easy being green, but- I'm green, and it'll do fine- it's beautiful and I think it's what I want to be..."
Good job!
Go for the next one!
