Kermit covering Johnny Cash covering Nine Inch Nails:
The easily offended should probably skip this
Trigger warnings: muppets, muppet drug abuse, muppet alcohol abuse, muppet vomiting, smoking, and onanism; muppet self harm, muppet song butchery, muppet prostitution (graphic), muppet generally LARPing the man in black. Orherwise, family friendly.
Brutal
Totally. Really well produced though.
There’s an entire album! The next song on it is “Creep”
I debated a lot before passing that on but in the end decided it was really well executed, funny in a really twisted way, and impressive in its destruction of a cultural icon. It’s absolutely not for everyone.
Oh, I’m not saying it wasn’t worth watching - it was. It also gave us evidence that the relationship between Kermit and Miss Piggy isn’t one-sided, because sometimes it looks that way from the outside!
Not to mention Jim Henson
that was my LOL moment!
Same. There were two “I can’t believe they went there” moments for me, and that was one.
Well @kristine here’s the polar opposite and my favourite muppet video evs
Thank you @Barney !!! “That my kind of woman!”
Was the other one Rowlf the Dog?
Yup
Really well done puppeteering there too. The recoil in self-disgust, then resignation, then the addiction takes hold, and he gets down to it.
Direct reference to Boogie Nights there (basically identical scene).
ooOOoohh - I didn’t catch that. Then again, Boogie Nights came out in the later half of the nineties - it’s a very fuzzy period of time in my brain.
