The Rainbow Connection

[shuufish]

Okay, I have this calender that sits on my desk, it suggests a song everyday and I usually go and download it right away, just to check it out. Over the weekend was Willie Nelson's birthday and the calender suggested a lot of things by him, including his cover of "The Rainbow Connection". While I was downloading it, I noticed just how many covers of that song there are, so I downloaded them all and thought it would be fun to post up all that I found!



The song, The Rainbow Connection was written by Kenny Asher and Paul Williams for the 1979 film, The Muppet Movie for those of you that were curious.

Here's the original version:
Kermit the Frog

And here are the covers, sans the one by The Dixie Chicks, which I could get to download, it's out there, and if anyone finds it, or finds more covers, I'd love to hear them! Also, some of the live versions have very poor ound quality, apologies for that.
