Bein' Green
"Bein' Green" (also known as "It's Not Easy Bein' Green") is a song written by Joe Raposo, originally performed by Jim Henson as Kermit the Frog on both Sesame Street and The Muppet Show (in the episodes "Peter Ustinov" and "Peter Sellers"). It later was covered by Ray Charles, Frank Sinatra, Van Morrison, and other performers. "Bein' Green" is considered the signature song of Kermit the Frog.
In the Muppets version, Kermit begins by lamenting his green coloration, expressing that green "blends in with so many ordinary things" and wishing to be some other color. But by the end of the song, Kermit recalls positive associations with the color green, and concludes by accepting and embracing his color.
The song was sung by Big Bird (Caroll Spinney) at the two memorial services for Jim Henson in 1990.
In September 2021, UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson mentioned the song while giving an address about climate to the United Nations General Assembly, saying that Kermit was wrong and "it is easy to be green".
