Lena Horne - I’m glad there is you

by Lara on January 31st, 2008

The Muppet Show - where every celebrity found themselves at some point in time. Jim Henson was a genius, and I was an addict. LOL

In this clip, Gonzo is feeling pretty low after Animal ruins one of his acts. He runs off the stage and into Ms. Horne’s dressing room, bangs his head on the door in despair, and is then consoled by Lena with these words:

“In this world of ordinary people, extraordinary people, I’m glad there is you
In this world of overrated pleasures, underrated treasures, I’m glad there is you…”

Incidentally, this is the song she sang on that episode of the Cosby Show (that I can’t find on YouTube or anywhere!) for Cliff on his birthday. It’s a little longer on that show than it is here with Gonzo, but this is the best I could find!
