Portland’s moment in the spotlight continues, now with a new take on the classic Kermit the Frog anthem, “Rainbow Connection.”
Monday night, “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” debuted a version of the song all about Portland’s now-famous protest frogs.
While both songs feature Kermit the Frog strumming a guitar, the lyrics are … different.
Unlike the original, which starts by posing the question, “Why are there so many songs about rainbows and what’s on the other side?” this new ballad starts, “Why are there so many Trump thugs in ski masks and why do they have to hide?”
And then, it goes on: “You can spray us with pepper, but we won’t surrender. We’ll respond with a naked bike ride.”
