This thing was all over the Internet yesterday, but I couldn’t let it slide without a mention here.

Steve Martin and Kermit the Frog in “Dueling Banjos” from Steve Martin

 

It’s not hilarious, but it’s fun and catchy.  What I really love about this video with two of my favorite characters ever, though, is the history it represents. Steve Martin’s episode of The Muppet Show is my favorite, and his cameo as a cranky waiter in The Muppet Movie is a highlight of that as well.  If I were ever to become famous, I’d want to be this kind of person: willing to honor my roots and not take myself so seriously that I could never work with Muppets.  In fact, the main reason I would like to become famous is so that I could work with the Muppets.
