Muppets reference in song

[GonzoLeaper]

Hey,
I got something really cool for Christmas this year and I picked it up myself. That would be the album "Adam Up" by ApologetiX. (www.apologetix.com) They're a great Christian parody band and should be checked out because they rock (musically and lyrically and spiritually)

Anyway, enough of the plug for one of my favorite bands. On the new album I got, they have a song called "Psum 14", which is a parody of "Fat Lip" by Sum 41. There's a cool line where they say, "You can stand around and scoff and scorn like Waldorf the Muppet".

Anyway, just thought that was cool.

Theres a song by Stephen Lynch (www.stephenlynch.com) called "Jim Henson's Dead". When I got the CD I was very afraid it wasn't going to be very nice. (His lyrics are not suitable for children, with songs like "Hermaphrodite", "B***h", and "Gerbil", think Richard Gere... Yeah.) But it was a quite soulful song and one of my favorites, with an awesome guitar part in it. Most of his songs are acoustic, including this one. So these are the lyrics from memory since he doesn't have them on his website. When I get home I'll look in the CD booklet to make sure they're correct.

Jim Henson's Dead
Lyrics and Music by Stephen Lynch

Pokemon's a silly phase
Barney's now just purple haze
Power Rangers lost their will to fight
Yeah, Pigs in Space the rule the sky
And Oscars still a Grouchy guy
And Animal is looking dynomite

Oh Jim Henson's dead and gone
But his Muppets will live on
And Kermit's still hot
Cuz it's still not
Easy bein' green...

Bert is mad 'cause Ernie can't hear
With a banana in his ear
They must learn how to cooperate
Yeah the Count is counting "One, Two, Three"
And no one laughs at poor Fozzie
And Scooter's p!ssed cuz Rowlf is always late

Oh Jim Henson's dead and gone
But his Muppets will live on
And Kermit's still hot
Cuz it's still not
Easy bein'...
One two three four five, six seven eight nine ten,
Eleven Twel-l-l-l-l-lve!

Now Miss Piggy's just a big slab of pork
To the Swedish Chef who says "M'bork bork bork"
And Cookie Monster wants another bite
Yeah and Big Bird, well, he just can't see
Why the two old guys in the balcony
Think Snuffleupagus is out of sight

Oh Jim Henson's dead and gone
But his muppets will live on
And Kermit's still hot,
'cause it's still not
Easy bein' green

Oh Jim Henson's dead and gone
But his muppets will live on
And Kermit's still hot,
cause it's still not
Easy bein' green
Easy bein' green, oh...

Oh wow, really?! Cool... Well, there's you have it. There's the lyrics.

Nothing to do with anything: Why no Rizzo smiley? Somethin' against rats?

Wasn't that Steven Lynich song available for a download at another Muuppet website? I thought I heard it somewhere besides MC radio...
