Yesterday was the (surprisingly snowy) 252nd St. Patrick's Day Parade—photos and videos from that to come later—but today is the actual St. Patrick's Day. So instead of tentatively stomping around Manhattan and playing "Everyone's Irish Bingo," we're keeping things cuddlier with some hilarious Muppets videos. Below, watch six Irish and green-themed Muppets sketches, including Kermit singing "Bein' Green" with Lena Horne, Murray learning Irish step dancing, and the world's greatest rendition of "Danny Boy" ever.
First, three gifted singers who have all kissed the Blarney Stone—Swedish Chef, Animal and Beaker—perform the world's most heartbreaking version of "Danny Boy."
The female Muppets, including Betty Lou, Zoe and Prairie Dawn, sing a song about being a girl of the world—here's the original, and below is the Irish version.
Oscar the Grouch sings all about how hard it is "Bein' Green."
Then again, Paul Rudd teaches a green Elmo that is IS easy bein' green.
Murray and Ovejita learn all about Irish step dancing.
And finally, the classic: Kermit and Lena Horne singing "Bein' Green."
