Now That's What I Call Stuart's Favourite Music 22 - Kermit The Frog (The Rainbow Connection)

Don't laugh...  My song today is a special one from when I was a wee lad.  It's Kermit the Frog, and The Rainbow Connection, from the 1979 film "The Muppet Movie". 

My Mum and Dad had the soundtrack/album to the movie, and I can remember quite vividly Dad playing this on the record player, and me and my sister listening to this on many occasions when my Mum was out playing Bingo.  

Unsurprisingly, it performed quite well in the US Billboard Charts and reached an impressive number 25 in November 1979.  It even received an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Song.

If you've never heard it before, give it a go.  Don't let 'Kermie' put you off.  It's a lovely song, and one that will forever remind me of a happy childhood.
