Talk:Rainbow Connection

message: "The Rainbow Disconnection" is a minor transposition by the artist or artists Sad Kermit and can be found here: https://soundcloud.com/sad-kermit/sad-kermit-rainbow-1 . Is an addition  to mention this version noteworthy enough for an edit to the article?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 118.148.82.252 (talk) 11:21, 28 August 2023 (UTC)

message: Why is the left box about the Carpenters version?  Shouldn't it be for the original?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.63.82.163 (talk) 12:44, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, it's possible, since the Carpenters didn't release the song until after 1975.  But all indications are that Williams wrote the song for the movie, which I'm sure wasn't in production in 1975 (which would have been before the premiere of The Muppet Show).

text: A version of "Rainbow Connection" was recorded by The Carpenters in 1979 during a hiatus after the release of the album Christmas Portrait, and packed away in a box labeled "Only Yesterday,. It was not uncovered until 1995, when it was remixed and remastered for the release of the album As Time Goes By. The song charted at #47 in Japan in 2001.
The only thing I found regarding this was here at the official Carpenters site, and the information does not match :

message: The muppets don't use a "THE" - I think officially there is no THE but many covers have a "THE".
:That's how the article is named on the Muppet Wiki. -- 134.241.28.252 (talk) 20:05, 26 September 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Indeed it is.  I believe Muppet Wiki uses the ASCAP or EMI database to determine song titles.  The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences also agree that it's "The Rainbow Connection", which provides further evidence that that's how Ascher and Williams registered the title.  On the other hand, soundtracks (including both The Muppet Movie soundtrack and The Muppets soundtrack) use just "Rainbow Connection".  Given more people are familiar with the soundtracks than with the official songwriters' registry database, I think "Rainbow Connection" is likely the WP:COMMONNAME.

replies: text: Just found it: http://adland.tv/commercials/hot-jobs-yahoo-rainbow-connection-2003-030-usa - not sure if it's appropriate to mention it so I'll leave it to this community to decide 24.188.213.121 (talk) 06:07, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

message: Why does "Audition (The Fools Who Dream)" from "La La Land" sound so much like "Rainbow Connection" from "The Muppet Movie"?  There must be a story here.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.162.253.101 (talk) 19:57, 22 July 2017 (UTC)
