    Bein' Green" [[also known as "It's Not Easy Bein' Green") originally performed by Jim Henson as Kermit the Frog on both Sesame Street and The Muppet Show. It later was covered by Ray Charles, Frank Sinatra, and other performers, such as Diana Ross and Tony Bennett.

    I wouldn't consider "Bein' Green" a silly song at all. It's a powerful song about difference and self-acceptance.

    I totally agree. That is why so many big artists chose to sing it. I would call it ¨charming¨ since it was first sung by a frog puppet. Much of Sesame Street, and the Muppets, was written for the adults watching. Jim Henson was a true genius. I read that Big Bird sang this song at his funeral.

    Yes, indeed. His work really made a difference in my life. Who says one person can't change the world?
