    Kermit the frog, and that song was from the first Muppets movie, if I'm remembering correctly.

    Kermit the Frog is a fictional character, a Muppet and one of puppeteer Jim Henson's most famous and beloved creations. Kermit was performed by Henson until his death in 1990. Since then, he has been performed by puppeteer Steve Whitmire.
    An early version of Kermit appeared in 1955, in a 5-minute puppet show for WRC-TV Sam and Friends. The prototype Kermit was created from a green ladies' coat that Henson's mother had thrown in the trash can, and two ping-pong balls for eyes. The early Kermit was a sort of lizard-like creature; Kermit's first appearance as a frog was in the television special Hey Cinderella in 1969, and he's been a frog ever since.
    Kermit had his big break later in 1969, with frequent appearances on Sesame Street, often as a news reporter interviewing nursery rhyme characters. One of his most memorable works was the song "Bein' Green" from this series. Although closely identified with the show Sesame Street, Kermit was always considered a "guest star" rather than a member of the show's regular Muppet contingent. Kermit's song "The Rainbow Connection" was also a big hit from The Muppet Movie and has become the signature song of The Jim Henson Company (it is also the only movie song sung by a "frog" to be nominated for an Academy Award).
    In 1979, Kermit and creator Henson spoke at ventriloquist Edgar Bergen's funeral. Kermit published One Frog Can Make A Difference, Kermit's Guide to Life in 1993 in hardcover with Pocket Books. In 1996, he gave a commencement speech at Southampton College in which he came out as an environmentalist. In 2001 he appeared in the TV show Hollywood Squares.
    Kermit as the Jim Henson Company mascotKermit also served as the mascot for The Jim Henson Company, until the sale of the Muppet characters to The Walt Disney Company.

    Kermit eventually got his own show, Jim Henson's "Muppet Show", in which he [Kermit] started to develop a character of fine musical capabilities. "Bein' Green" being one of his most famous numbers, it made a good sow companion to his other Muppet Show number "Happy Feet".

    Who said "It's not easy being green?"

    I heard David Attenborough being asked this question on Australian radio a few years back. He was stumped - other than to suggest a type of cat that grows mould in its fur and even he admitted that this was cheating! So the question is this - There are green fish, green insects, green birds, and green reptiles, but are there any green mammals? And if not, why not?
