'Click' of the Week

April 23, 2009

The environmental crowd has aggressively co-opted Kermit the Frog's "It's Not Easy Being Green." (We did it on the cover of this very issue.) To give a much-deserved nod to the source, we're turning this week's click over to Jim Henson's iconic amphibian and his 1970 rendition of the career-launching ballad. The song has been recorded by artists ranging from Frank Sinatra to Diana Ross, but for our money nobody did it better than Mr. Frog. (Side note: Perhaps not surprisingly, the comments accompanying the video on YouTube have devolved into an epithet-littered "debate" about race. Sigh.)
