Kermit The Frog has been around, in one form or another, since 1955. In the subsequent 61 years, he has worked in seemingly every possible medium show business has to offer and has seen his share of successes and failures with those ping-pong-ball eyes of his. It’s natural, under those circumstances, that he might occasionally pause to reflect on his life and ask himself some serious questions about who he is and how he got to where he is now. Appropriately, then, Kermit actually covered “Once In A Lifetime,” the existential anthem from Talking Heads’ groundbreaking 1980 album Remain In Light. The occasion was an episode of ABC’s Muppets Tonight that aired 20 years ago this week. In that July 7, 1996, episode, a performance artist named Giganticus is booked to appear on the Muppets’ latest show, but then is unable to make it to the studio. (He’s been beaten up by Super Giganticus.) The ever-resourceful Kermit dons a comically large suit and takes his place, doing his best David Byrne impression. The rest is Muppet magic, right down to the scene-ending banter between Statler and Waldorf.
