Portland\u2019s moment in the spotlight continues, now with a new take on the classic Kermit the Frog anthem, \u201cRainbow Connection.\u201d<\/p>\n
Monday night, \u201cThe Late Show with Stephen Colbert\u201d debuted a version of the song all about Portland\u2019s now-famous protest frogs<\/a>.<\/p>\n While both songs feature Kermit the Frog strumming a guitar, the lyrics are … different.<\/p>\n Unlike the original, which starts by posing the question, \u201cWhy are there so many songs about rainbows and what\u2019s on the other side?\u201d this new ballad starts, \u201cWhy are there so many Trump thugs in ski masks and why do they have to hide?\u201d<\/p>\n And then, it goes on: \u201cYou can spray us with pepper, but we won\u2019t surrender. We\u2019ll respond with a naked bike ride.\u201d<\/p>\n You can watch the entire video here:<\/p>\n And, here\u2019s the original, just for fun:<\/p>\n If you purchase a product or register for an account through a link on our site, we may receive compensation.
