 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 greenness.The song was sung by Big Bird (Caroll Spinney) at the two memorial services for Jim Henson in 1990.
