Either way I ran across my Muppets folder. Yes I have an entire folder devoted to songs from the Muppets, Sesame Street, Animaniacs etc. It rocks! I was going through labeling when I hit the song "I'm Gonna Always Love You" from the movie The Muppets Take Manhattan.
This next bit assumes you have seen the television show "Muppet Babies." If you haven't you much contact me immediately to remedy this. What alot of people don't neccessarily know is that the show Muppet Babies was created because of a scene from "The Muppets Take Manhattan" where Miss Piggy imagines what it would have been like if the Muppets had met when they were little. I generally hate Miss Piggy - she is definately my least favorite muppet - but the song rocks.
Actually it has kinda a neat message about having it all...besides which it is just adorable...so here's what I'm doing - I'm posting the lyrics down below and then linking the song on henson.com. Check it out, it's not the full thing, but if you want it give me a buzz. It's totally worth it, trust me.
I'm Gonna Always Love You
(Dialogue intro, in Central Park)
Statler: Hey, look Waldorf--it's the frog and the pig!
Waldorf: Yeah, looks like they're in love.
Statler: Yeah. Kinda makes you sick, doesn't it?
(Trademark laughter from both, followed by catcalls at Piggy and Kermit, who don't notice)
Miss Piggy: Oh, Kermie, I'm sorry I yelled at you. And I didn't mean it when I said it would have been better if we had never met. In fact, I wish we had met much sooner. . .Kermit, wouldn't it have been wonderful if we had known each other when we were little? Imagine...little Kermie....and little Piggy.
