sad kermit Sad Kermit covers Elliott Smiths Needle In The HayI’ll tell ya, that bloody Sad Kermit will get you every time. He’s done Johnny Cash’s version of “Hurt”, among others, and now he’s covering Elliott Smith, who passed away a few years back.
This is “Needle In The Hay”, which you might recognise from The Royal Tenenbaums. Truly, a meditation on heroin addiction only comes into its own when tackled by a green felt frog. A lot of YouTube commenters have got predictably hot under the collar over this cover, but I’m a huge Elliott Smith fan and found it funny. I mean come on, it’s a muppet playing a sad song on the guitar.
This is the last of today’s Muppet-related posts, honest…
