Enjoy those floppy little frog legs as Kermit goes wild on the dance bog floor!
EDIT: I just asked my child what he thinks of this song, and he authorized me to quote him here on MusicBanter. He said, and I quote: "This sounds like Frankenstein. This sounds like ****. This sounds like a walking talking pile of ****! I don't hate Kermit, but this sounds annoying. This sounds like a zombie is singing it. LOL."

Erica, I have to catch up on this thread but just want to tell you: Your son is like a mini-Lester Bangs there with his comments.
He is frank and to the point! Following your lead, I solicited my 8-going-on-9 year old son's comments earlier tonight on Kermit's "Disco Frog" and here's what he said:
"I don’t know, Ma…this is for little kids…what am I supposed to say? (
Me: Say anything you want.) Little kids like Kermit, it’s OK, it’s supposed to be stupid. The ghost frog dances around too fast, he doesn’t go with the beat. But he’s supposed to be a crazy ghost frog. The ladies are funny with their hair. They have the same tongue as Kermit. The jungle was cool. Did you see the little lights in the trees? (
Me: I think those were fireflies. What about the song?) I don’t like it, it’s not a good Sesame Street song. But little kids – like, kids in preschool, they will like Kermit singing it and the scene. What were the tan plants at the beginning? (
Me: I think they were reeds.) Yeah, they'll like that."
My son, lover of tan plants and firefly lights.
