who else has seen this new coke comercial with the lime in the coconut song. They changed the lyrics to:
You put the lime in the coke you nut and you drink them both together

You put the lime in the coke you nut and you drink them both up

I saw it, and it got old quick... some songs just seem best performed by the Muppets themselves.

Hmm. I wonder if we finally have figured out the drug reference here. Coke.

Well, Coca-Cola did in fact have cocaine in it when it first was created, hence the name.

Really? I had no idea. I did, however, hear that it was originally a medicane for indigestion...

Yep. I was looking up the history of Coke and it looks like it was created simply for drinking. However, Pepsi-Cola was created as an indigestion medicine, exhaustion reliever, etc. The history of the two companies is really quite interesting.

I know that, Wembley. I'm just saying I like it best performed by the Muppets.

I have a tape (forget the name of it, Kermit and Piggy are in a fancy resturaunt remembering old Muppet Show sketches) and i used to watch the "Lime In The Coconut" sketch over and over and over. Whenever i hear it now, all i can think about is the hospital room slowly becoming a jungle.

Classic sketch (in my eyes, anyway). Love the doctor muppet in that scene too. "Now let me get this straight!..."

That's called The Kermit And Piggy Story... that's where I've heard the song sung first.
