Andrew the Bird covers Kermit the Frog (en français)

Yesterday Andrew Bird made an appearance on the Paris radio show Le Fou du roi performing a fantastic rendition of the Kermit the Frog standard Bein' Green, in French no less! He was accompanied by in-house pianist Richard Lornac.Andrew Bird - Bein' Green [originally by Kermit the Frog; written by Joe Raposo]

He also performed one of my faves from his latest album Noble Beast:

Yep, A Bird and a dog covering a frog. Sounds like the start of a Fozzie joke...
