Justin Timberlake: Growing up, the two shows I never missed were.. “Saturday Night Live”.. and “The Muppet Show”. So, if you don’t mind, there’s antoher dream I’ve always had, and that’s to sing.. with Kermit the Frog.

[ Kermit the Frog appears atop the brick wall ]

Hello, Kermit.

Kermit: Justin, I’d be honored to sing with you.

Justin Timberlake: Well, I just figured.. when’s the next time you’re gonna have a chance, right?

Kermit: Well, uh.. what shall we sing?

Justin Timberlake: I’ve already got it picked out.

Kermit: Awww.. this is a nice one!

Justin Timberlake: [ singing ]
“Why are there so many
Songs about rainbows?
And what’s on the other side.”

Kermit: [ singing ]
“Rainbows are visions
But only illusions
And rainbows have nothing to hide.”

Justin Timberlake: [ singing ]
“So we’ve been told
And some choose to believe.”

Kermit: [ singing ] “I know they’re wrong, wait and see.”

Together:
“Someday we’ll find it
The rainbow connection
The lovers, the dreamers and me.”

Kermit: You’re a very good singer, Justin.

Justin Timberlake: You’re not so bad yourself, Kermit.

Kermit: Maybe you and Kiki Dee should cut an album! [ laughs ]

Justin Timberlake: [ singing ]
“Who says that every wish
Would be heard and answered
When wished on a morning star.”

[ Justin leans in too close to Kermit ]

Kermit: Ow!

Justin Timberlake: Sorry..

Kermit: Careful, Justin – you stepped on my buddy’s leg there!

[ singing ]

“Somebody thought of that
And someone believed it
And look what it’s done so far.”

[ Justin leans in too close again ]

Ow!!

Justin Timberlake: Sorry!

Kermit: I’ve been telling you all week!!

Justin Timberlake: [ singing ]
“What’s so amazing
That keeps us star-gazing?”

Kermit: “And what do we think we might see?”

[ Justin has again gotten too close to Kermit ]

Seriously! BACK OFF!!

Justin Timberlake: Is this any better? [ reaches behind the brick wall and kicks Kermit’s puppeteer ]

Kermit: Ow! Ow! Ow!

Justin Timberlake: [ yelling ] Yeah, you like that, don’t you, Kermit?!

[ in the mad scuffle, Timberlake kicks down the brick wall to reveal Kermit’s puppeteer sprawled across the floor in pain. He continues to speak to Timberlake through Kermit. ]

Kermit: Guys! Guys! Stop fighting! This song is about togetherness!

Justin Timberlake: He’s right..

Kermit: Bill? Can you say to Justin that you’re sorry for shoving him?

Bill: [ meekly ] I’m sorry, Justin..

Kermit: And, Justin? Can you say you’re sorry to Bill for being a douchebag?

Justin Timberlake: I am not.. a douchebag..

Kermit: [ singing ]
“Someday we’ll find itThe rainbow connectionThe lovers, the douchebag, and me.”

  1. Aw, this was an incredibly good post. Spending some time and actual effort to generate a good article… but what can I say… I hesitate a whole lot and don’t manage to get nearly anything done.

  2. Nice post. I learn something new and challenging on blogs I stumbleupon everyday. It’s always interesting to read through articles from other authors and use something from other sites.

  3. I was recommended this web site by my cousin. I am not sure whether this post is written by him as nobody else know such detailed about my trouble. You are amazing! Thanks!

  4. I love your blog.. very nice colors & theme. Did you make this website yourself or did you hire someone to do it for you? Plz reply as I’m looking to design my own blog and would like to find out where u got this from. thank you

  5. The very next time I read a blog, I hope that it does not disappoint me just as much as this one. After all, Yes, it was my choice to read, nonetheless I truly believed you would probably have something helpful to talk about. All I hear is a bunch of complaining about something that you could possibly fix if you weren’t too busy looking for attention.

  6. Thanks for your article. I would like to say that the health insurance brokerage service also utilizes the benefit of the coordinators of any group insurance policies. The health agent is given a long list of benefits needed by an individual or a group coordinator. Exactly what a broker does is try to find individuals or coordinators which best match up those demands. Then he gifts his recommendations and if both sides agree, the broker formulates a contract between the 2 parties.

  7. Thanks for your post. My partner and i have usually noticed that almost all people are desirous to lose weight as they wish to appear slim and also attractive. Even so, they do not generally realize that there are additional benefits for you to losing weight as well. Doctors state that over weight people come across a variety of health conditions that can be directly attributed to their excess weight. The good thing is that people who sadly are overweight as well as suffering from diverse diseases are able to reduce the severity of their particular illnesses by simply losing weight. It is easy to see a slow but noted improvement with health while even a negligible amount of fat loss is accomplished.
