I really like the "I reflect on my reflection" opening line of this song.

[@RaulAPinto]

Everytime I hear "Man or Muppet" I also hear FOTC's "I'm not crying"

[@prescottwhynot]

In a joke Jermaine called Bret’s muppets songs “derivative” lol perhaps there’s some true thoughts behind the joke

[@SmallBlogV8]

Okay I was NOT ready for the Kermit voice to appear! xD

[@bernlin2000]

Bit of a shock, really, and I've been following Bret forever, still surprises 🤣

[@ghostsomenswho]

I'm actually in love with Bret Mckenzie's voice and this song is already a masterpiece I love this

[@toharzamir7948]

had the pleasure of interviewing Bret for KALX (Berkeley's student radio station) and got to head to his SF show, after which we hung out on the pavement for a bit! Such a cool, honest, down-to-earth, talented and fucking funny person. Can't wait for his next solo album!

[@samuelwilliams9224]

undoubtedly the best 4 bar drum solo i've ever seen

[@jefferybushnik3057]

It's very odd that this is an Oscar winner playing his Oscar-winning song. Phenomenal, but weird.

[@bernlin2000]

Keeping the FotC spirit alive ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

[@apersonwhoisaperson8163]

[@MLATX512]

I didn't know he wrote this song from the soundtrack to the movie, The Muppets.

[@williamhornabrook8081]

He won an Oscar for it :)

[@thechewatson]

He sounds more like Kermit than Kermit does these days!

[@MultiGravin]

Yes!
