John was a real-life Muppet, a Great actor and performer, song writer, and just an all around Great Guy! I miss him, but, remember the Fun times! Love Ya John!
Couple of years back I found a John Denver CD in my mom's collection I asked if I could borrow it hadn't heard some of those songs in ages shocked by my my reaction I bawled like a baby through the whole thing such a big part of my childhood I miss terribly someone I had never met
Yeah, me too, John was and still is better than the media portray him today. Yes I tear up too as I try to sing with him. I'm glad that the song loop where I work has 2 of his songs on there. Makes a better day for me.
it must have bin busy under that bed with puppetmasters . brilliant as always > john denver but also the muppets from jim . good to see again ......thanks
My sister and I remember seeing this! So cozy, cute and funny. We both liked John Denver, but I believe my sister had a real crush on him. We felt so bad at his passing, but I like to imagine he's singing with the angels.
My dad met John Denver at a hockey game in Colorado in the 70s, he didn't know it was him at first, until his friend said: "that is John Denver. My dad shook his hand and talked to him. I wish i could have met him. My dad got me hooked on your music John, you will be be in our hearts forever!
Sept. 15, 1979 is when this aired on tv. I was twenty years old and remember laughing my a-s off when he sang this song. He was a man of many talents. He also saw and talked to God (George Burns)! L.O.L.
I went to a private Catholic school in the 70s and our music teacher, (who was a nun), taught us this song. I was so surprised that I still knew most of the words and could sing along! Thank you for sharing…it was a fun blast from the past!
John Denver and the Muppets? Yes, please! I was 15 when I heard the news about John's passing. I was pretty shocked to hear it, and I think my mother was even more shocked. She told me that she and my dad chose "Annie's Song" as their wedding song. He was a great songwriter and singer, and there will never be another like him.
Just really warms my heart to know all the lives that John touched with his music!! I cry tears of happiness cause he really was a great man that I wish was here today!! I definitely know that our family reunions would be LIT cause John would be there!! He is a cousin of mine & he definitely was a BIG part of my childhood!! Love & miss you so much John!!
Growing up I watched John Denver and the muppets Christmas special as a kid. I really miss hearing Miss Piggy’s reaction spotting John Denver and calling him Jonathan! Kim R. Mackey❤Devoted John Denver fan.
John always seemed like a regular guy you'd have as a neighbor. Always enjoyed the Muppets even as a teenager, especially the old me in the box seat. Lots of good memories. Jacques Cousteau I remember watching a lot on tv in the 70s, and enjoyed Johns musical contributions to Cousteau's cause and his message.
Now we all know what is was like for all old timers back when we was young. We see the world now how they saw it then. The old days was better. No internet, kids transitioning, police defunding…
Man, contrast this wholesomeness to the garbage dumpster our society has devolved into today. Thank God I'm old enough to remember this. John was the best ever ❤
This song and episode still pops in my head from time to time. Today (New Year's Day 2021) was one of those times. So, I did a search to see if it was online. Thankfully it is! I still remember seeing it for the first time as a child. I'm 52 now. With all the heartache and struggles 2020 brought so many of us, seeing this brought a needed smile to my face while at the same time, a tear rolled down my cheek in remembrance of days long ago and the songs from that time that still fill my mind today and help take me back to happier times with loved ones who are no longer here.
Loved him. He was the best. Wonderful childhood memories listening to his songs. My now 18yr old used to listen to him as a child too. I bought him all his CD’s when he was around 5 because we only allowed him to listen to certain types of music. None of the junk music and he used to love him too.
i saw this when i was a kid!!! i just watched his life story on prime the other day. chad lowe plays John kristin davis plays his wife a must see for all John Denver fans!!!
Just great as expected. Denver was so good and all of the Muppets look wonderful. That had to be quite the set so all of the Muppets could appear there in close quarters. Must have been a lot of rehearsing to get it to look so professional.
Loved his music. I think the best work of his was the song he recorded with Alexander Gradsky. Gradsky was the most popular singer/songwriter in Russia at the time. It is called What are We Making Weapons For - Let Us Begin. In his Christmas special in '88 he explains how it came about. It is very powerful.
@@Ojibwette I noticed, yeah! I was referring to his live concert version where he stops the music to speak about "maybe I'd reconsider about the gal down the road'. But it is here!
Omg sooo funny!!!😂🤣 And also this is like the 40th time ive watched this video and it still cracks me up its so cute and funny!!!💙 Gosh.... i wish i could have met him, probably would have broke down crying right in front of him because I was so happy to see him... if only that was possible. I've only known about John Denver for about a 2 years now and I love his personality and everything about him!!! he is awesome!!!!💙 FAROUT!!!!!😎
I wonder if that can be a maternal grandma. John Denver does not look very much like his father. It is wierd seeing the two men together in pictures. They look so different but they are so closely related. On the other hand John Denver does bear some resemblance to his mother. So if John Denver is going to go in drag and play a grandma, he would probably be better at playing his mother's mother as opposed to his father's mother. So I wonder if the grandma is maternal. I don't know what John Denver's grandparents look like in real life. Partly it is because they are obscure people, and partly because their wouldn''t be good photography back then. The only thing I know about them is that John Denver got a guitar from one of his grandmas. I don't know which one. Somehow the mother and father got together and had such a beutiful and talented son. For that I am forever greatful. John Denver is so amazing.

Easily one of the best episodes. John Denver was a treasure.
I love it when John comes out dressed like a Grandma!
Kids today are missing out on good tv like this
The chemistry between John and the muppets is legendary
Simpler times. I miss our country and culture we used to have
I will forever miss John Denver. His songs always had true meaning he will be forever missed. Rest in Peace John Denver.
John was a real-life Muppet, a Great actor and performer, song writer, and just an all around Great Guy! I miss him, but, remember the Fun times! Love Ya John!
A treasured childhood memory . Rest in peace John Denver and Jim Henson .
My kids are making memories with it right now.
How much fun is this video!

John Denver, Abba, the Irish Rovers, and Neil Diamond. Were on Moms playlist, and she chose the music for our family road trips. What memories!!!
Never understood the reason for John Denver working with the Muppets so much up until now. He's got real good chemistry with them.
He loved kids and people in general.
Best Christmas Album ever. No contest.
John’s Christmas with the Muppets is still my favorite during the holidays.
In a world of so much ugliness, this sort of thing reminds me how beautiful things can be.
Thank you John for all the memories.
This song always makes me smile, and the 'nine feet high' description is beyond hilarious!
it must have bin busy under that bed with puppetmasters .
brilliant as always > john denver but also the muppets from jim .
good to see again ......thanks

Ah, I remember this one back in the day. Nice touch, John playing his grandma at the end. So sad when I heard about the plane crash. RIP.
Yesss!!! Good ol days
I wish I could have met John Denver. He seemed like a really awesome guy.
Oh yeah. Ask his ex wife
My dad met John Denver at a hockey game in Colorado in the 70s, he didn't know it was him at first, until his friend said: "that is John Denver. My dad shook his hand and talked to him. I wish i could have met him. My dad got me hooked on your music John, you will be be in our hearts forever!

Saw this when it was on TV. I just now realized John was playing Grandma there near the end.
Damn! This was 9 years before I was born. I'm 32 now and watching this, enjoying to the fullest. Really makes you think.
I remember back in middle school we sang this song in music class. Some of the kids went wild over the song.
RIP JD miss you and so do millions of your fans and your 3 children and your brother Ron xxxx
Growing up I watched John Denver and the muppets Christmas special as a kid.
I really miss hearing Miss Piggy’s reaction spotting John Denver and calling him Jonathan!

Had no memory of this being a John Denver collaboration with the Muppets! Loved this song as a kid.

John Denver, to me, was the last great American folk singer...😔
I miss his voice, but I smile when I hear it. 😊
Amen.
The last great and the greatest EVER...a legitimate legend
Now we all know what is was like for all old timers back when we was young. We see the world now how they saw it then. The old days was better. No internet, kids transitioning, police defunding…
Miss him and those times in my life..., and my BFF who was a huge JD fan also...😪
Man, contrast this wholesomeness to the garbage dumpster our society has devolved into today. Thank God I'm old enough to remember this. John was the best ever ❤
To much fun!!!!!!!!!!! Gotta love John Denver & the Muppets! A time that has passed!!
Absolutely wonderful!! 😃

Oh God I love him he's just so cute....they don't make em like this anymore
I remember watching this when I was 5 1/2.
RIP John
I’m gen z and with oldschool Muppet show he was my favourite guest
This is my favorite John Denver song because of this scene!
Brings me back to when I was a little kid :)
I sang this in music class as a kid. Love it!
i saw this when i was a kid!!! i just watched his life story on prime the other day. chad lowe plays John kristin davis plays his wife a must see for all John Denver fans!!!
Classic song i used to love as a kid.
A lot of good memories with John, he sure could do it all and I surely do miss his guitar.
A Muppet come to life. I miss that boy, ...everyday.
Just great as expected. Denver was so good and all of the Muppets look wonderful. That had to be quite the set so all of the Muppets could appear there in close quarters. Must have been a lot of rehearsing to get it to look so professional.
John Denver and The Muppets were fantastic together.
Sooo Sweet..smile
absolutely adore this song!
I love this song and the puppets , great fun video.😀
I had forgotten about this.
This is hilarious XD He plays the part so well!
Muito divertido! Saudades John Denver💕💕💕💕💕
OH MY GOD I REMEMBER WATCHING THIS AS A KID!!!!
Great to have performed this with The Muppets!*!! 😃😂🥰❤️
FEATHERS FLYING? Love this.
That’s very good for Children I like it Amelia Ngugama
He always sang great..Can't say that about artists these days..

It is called What are We Making Weapons For - Let Us Begin. In his Christmas special in '88 he explains how it came about. It is very powerful.
I'd add Ravens Child to that, very powerful song indeed about man's greed.
They dont make entertainment this good anymore.
Fab-u-lous and thank you for posting x
memory unlocked
Reminds me of when I would visit my Grandparents in Cheyenne, Wyoming
priceless
OMG! I LOVE THIS!
Poor old John.
He tried to do everything and paid a terrible price for it. When his guitar and voice was more than enough.
Classic❤
I miss those variety shows. Now we get instagram people on fake reality shows
They forgot to put the line in about John Reconsidering the part about "The Gal down the road"
ADX8 ! WHAT DOES GONZO THINK OF THAT FEATHER BED??? 💔.. grampa?
I wonder if anyone informed Miss Piggy about John Denver’s passing in a plane crash? Kim R. Mackey
So glad Disney is gonna bring this back
song written by Brian Bowers
❤
That’s My Late Great Uncle John Denver He Went To Heaven Hes With Jesus And God And Hes On A Muppet Show With Kermit The Frog
Notice how they left out he original lyric that he might not trade the bed for 'the gal down the road'..it's a kid's show, after all ;-)
Marko Kassenaar I don’t know what video your watching. You can hear him say that. Not sure what your talking about.
I guess we all at one time had a
"girl down the road"
1:34

The only problem with Grandma's feather bed is i'm allergic to feathers. No offense Camilla.
0:27 Taken literally, “9 feet HIGH” suggests that it’s a very tall bed. It would be more accurate to say, “9 feet long.”
Likely meant to be a canopy bed.
This video is funny.
Someone answer me this, Is that John Denver playing Grandma as well? Or is that someone else?
The Angry Sports Fan yep, that's him!
Omg sooo funny!!!😂🤣 And also this is like the 40th time ive watched this video and it still cracks me up its so cute and funny!!!💙 Gosh.... i wish i could have met him, probably would have broke down crying right in front of him because I was so happy to see him... if only that was possible.
