What better way to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day than with a moving rendition of Danny Boy? As sung by some muppets.

    I thought that I had seen all “Muppet Show” episodes, but I can’t remember this one…which is shocking.

    The thought of having the three of them sing any song together is funny, but to do this one… side splitting.

    *LOVE THAT*

    I cannot express (nor explain) my love affair with the muppets and why anything muppet sends me into glee.

    oh, wow. any day gets better when it involves muppets. especially my 2 faves: animal (i had animal sneakers when i was a wee kiddo!!!) and beaker (i have a super beaker action figure right this second!). thanks for today’s dose of hilarity.

    Boy, Animal sure can sing!

    morethan-
    I wonder if it’s from a “new” Muppets show? I’ve heard that such a thing exists. Nevertheless, I’m glad to have found it, too.

    Julie-
    I have quite a fondness for many of the muppets, too. Beaker being one of them. And the Swedish Chef.

    Rose Daughter-
    Um…sorry? I hope you’ve recovered.

    caset-
    Ah, it was new to me. But perhaps it will become like an old friend to me, too.

    flutter-
    It’s hard to imagine a better version, isn’t it?

    fireweaver-
    Wow, a beaker action figure? That’s way cool.

    Denguy-
    Yes, he has hidden away some talent.

    I sang Danny Boy at my grandmother’s funeral. I guess I should have let these three do it–it’s a much more heart-wrenching rendition.

    As they were collapsing in tears at the end, I was collapsing in giggles. :)

    I don’t remember ever seeing that clip either. Surprising…I just love the Muppets. Gonzo is my fave! :)

    Beaker also hits some good notes in this one.

    I’m sorry. (No I’m not.) I’m sorry. (No I’m not.) :-)
