Either way, here is the main Music Video from The Muppets movie recently released, sung and acted by Jason Segel and his muppet brother.
As you will see, it's not only fun, but provides three interesting language points:
- Asking questions about yourself (Am I... ?)
- Wondering about "possible" situations with the ever-popular First Type of conditional in the form of an If - then statement.
- Using a noun as an adjective: a hell of a day, the beauty of it all, a muppet of a man
Enjoy!
Lyrics:
I reflect on my reflection
And I ask myself the question
What's the right direction
to go
I don't know
Am I a man?
or am I a muppet?
(Am I a muppet?)
If I'm a muppet
then I'm a very manly muppet
(Very manly muppet)
Am I a muppet?
(Muppet)
Or am I a man?
(Am I a man?)
If I'm a man that makes me a muppet of a man
(A muppet of a man)
I look into these eyes
And I don't recognize
The one I see inside
It's time for me to decide
Am I a man?
Or am I a muppet?
(Am I a muppet?)
If I'm a muppet
well I'm a very manly muppet
(Very manly muppet)
Am I a muppet?
(Muppet)
Or am I a man?
(Am I a man?)
If I'm a man that makes me a muppet of a man
(A muppet of a man)
Here I go again
I'm always running out of time
I think I've made up my mind
Now I understand who I am
I'm a man
I'm a muppet
I'm a muppet of a man
I'm a very manly muppet
I'm a muppet-y man
That's what I am
