"Its not that easy being green. "

[AniaSM]

What is this song about? I know its sometimes used as a kind of anthem for enviromental issues but what did the writer have in mind?

Now i'm really confused. the song was written "for" kermit on sesame street. Why can't it simply be about being green, and how it's not easy?

It may have been written by a new ABer , it's not easy being green on AB , they can be given a hard time if they are new .

[bednobs]

its the same song! why are you all laughing at me and telling me to be serious - i am!

[ChuckFickens]

LOL, I know it is bednobs, I was just playing :)

I think AniaSM is getting a little confused as the song has now been covered and released as a "green" anthem, but yes I believe the primary meaning of the song is as simple as "it's not easy being green"

[AniaSM]

So it really was written for Kermit the frog and it IS about his green skin?

[ChuckFickens]

I call it more green fur, but yes :)

Kermit was in the Muppet show, and he sang It's not easy being green, while looking very forlorn.
