we all need a roadtrip moment every now and then.

(and a break from the incessant politico-commentary online right now, perhaps)

...and for members of a certain generation, there's really only one roadtrip moment that'll do.

(if you can name the clip within the first two words of dialogue, you're good; if you can name it from the first image before the dialogue even starts, you're very good -- or you're my age and have the memory of this joy burned into your brain from the original theatrical viewing.)

I could name it from the YouTube preview image before I even hit the "play" button. *buffs fingernails* Okay, granted it was Kermit in a car holding a banjo, but still! Immediate recognition, didn't have to think about it.

Ditto! ^_^

I took one look at the preview image and now the song is stuck in my head.

Not that that's a bad thing at all...just... stuck in my head.

What, that's the Muppet Movie, isn't it?

Movin' right along...

And of course I knew it before clicking. ^__^ My roomie and I used to sing this song and "I Hope That Something Better Comes Along" at the top of our lungs. Folks in the apartment next door pretended to ignore us.

BTW...
"Hey, L.A., where've ya gone?
Send someone to fetch us, we're in Saskatchewan"
are some of the best.lyrics.ever.

*giggles* I named it just from the screenfreeze, before I even loaded the video. My love for Jim Henson is beyond words. (Complete with obligatory movie of his I dislike, with thesis explaining dislike of, etc.)

AAAAH! Earworm! And I haven't even played the clip yet...
