"Rainbow Connection" is a song from the 1979 film <a href="The_Muppet_Movie" title="The Muppet Movie">The Muppet Movie</a>, with music and lyrics written by <a href="Paul_Williams_(songwriter)" title="Paul Williams (songwriter)">Paul Williams</a> and <a href="Kenneth_Ascher" title="Kenneth Ascher">Kenneth Ascher</a>.<a href="#cite_note-1">[1]</a> The song was performed by <a href="Jim_Henson" title="Jim Henson">Jim Henson</a> as <a href="Kermit_the_Frog" title="Kermit the Frog">Kermit the Frog</a> during the film's <a href="Opening_act" title="Opening act">opening number</a>, where it opens with Kermit sitting alone on a log in the swamp, playing the song on his banjo. The song is an integral part of Kermit's <a href="Character_arc" title="Character arc">character's arc</a>, since it establishes his dream of "making millions of people happy," which motivates his journey to <a href="Hollywood%2C_Los_Angeles" title="Hollywood, Los Angeles">Hollywood</a> throughout the film.

"Rainbow Connection" reached No. 25 on the <a href="Billboard_Hot_100" title="Billboard Hot 100">Billboard Hot 100</a> in November 1979, with the song remaining in the <a href="American_Top_40" title="American Top 40">Top 40</a> for seven weeks in total.<a href="#cite_note-2">[2]</a> Williams and Ascher received an <a href="Academy_Awards" title="Academy Awards">Academy Award</a> nomination for <a href="Academy_Award_for_Best_Original_Song" title="Academy Award for Best Original Song">Best Original Song</a> at the <a href="52nd_Academy_Awards" title="52nd Academy Awards">52nd Academy Awards</a>.<a href="#cite_note-3">[3]</a>

In 2020, "Rainbow Connection" was deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" by the <a href="Library_of_Congress" title="Library of Congress">Library of Congress</a> and selected for preservation in the <a href="National_Recording_Registry" title="National Recording Registry">National Recording Registry</a>.<a href="#cite_note-4">[4]</a>

Williams and Ascher, who had previously collaborated on several songs for the 1976 film <a href="A_Star_Is_Born_(1976_film)" title="A Star Is Born (1976 film)">A Star Is Born</a>, were tasked with writing the songs for The Muppet Movie. For the song that became "Rainbow Connection", Jim Henson told them that the opening scene should feature Kermit the Frog by himself, singing and playing the banjo. Williams and Ascher wrote most of the song fairly quickly at Williams's house but got stuck trying to think of appropriate words for the part in the chorus that eventually became the phrase "the rainbow connection"; they were looking for a way to tie in the chorus to the song's theme of rainbows. As they sat down for dinner with Williams's then-wife, Kate Clinton, they explained to her their predicament of looking for a phrase that would provide "a rainbow connection", then realized, in the course of explaining the problem to her, that the phrase "the rainbow connection" would itself be a good fit.<a href="#cite_note-namm_oral_history-5">[5]</a> Williams and Ascher used "<a href="When_You_Wish_Upon_a_Star" title="When You Wish Upon a Star">When You Wish Upon a Star</a>" from <a href="Pinocchio_(1940_film)" title="Pinocchio (1940 film)">Pinocchio</a> as inspiration for the song.<a href="#cite_note-6">[6]</a>

Williams has said that his favorite lyrics in the song are in the second verse, which begins with "Who said that every wish / Would be heard and answered / When wished on the morning star?", because they imply that "there's power in your thoughts".<a href="#cite_note-namm_oral_history-5">[5]</a> He also noted that the lyrical phrasing was written weirdly with Kermit's speech patterns in mind.<a href="#cite_note-7">[7]</a>

<a href="Allmusic" class="mw-redirect" title="Allmusic">Allmusic</a> described "Rainbow Connection" as an "unlikely radio hit ... which Kermit the Frog sings with all the dreamy wistfulness of a short, green <a href="Judy_Garland" title="Judy Garland">Judy Garland</a>"<a href="#cite_note-AMG-8">[8]</a> and went on to add that "'Rainbow Connection' serves the same purpose in <a href="The_Muppet_Movie" title="The Muppet Movie">The Muppet Movie</a> that '<a href="Over_the_Rainbow" title="Over the Rainbow">Over the Rainbow</a>' served in <a href="The_Wizard_of_Oz" title="The Wizard of Oz">The Wizard of Oz</a>, with nearly equal effectiveness: an opening establishment of the characters' driving urge for something more in life."<a href="#cite_note-AMG-8">[8]</a> Others have similarly referred to "Rainbow Connection" as the film's <a href="%22I_Want%22_song" title=""I Want" song">"I Want" song</a>.<a href="#cite_note-9">[9]</a>

Ascher and Williams received Oscar nominations at the <a href="52nd_Academy_Awards" title="52nd Academy Awards">52nd Academy Awards</a> for the score of The Muppet Movie and for "Rainbow Connection", which was nominated for <a href="Academy_Award_for_Best_Original_Song" title="Academy Award for Best Original Song">Best Original Song</a>.<a href="#cite_note-10">[10]</a> The score lost to <a href="Bob_Fosse" title="Bob Fosse">Bob Fosse</a>'s <a href="All_That_Jazz_(film)" title="All That Jazz (film)">All That Jazz</a>.<a href="#cite_note-11">[11]</a> The song lost to "<a href="It_Goes_Like_It_Goes" title="It Goes Like It Goes">It Goes Like It Goes</a>" from <a href="Norma_Rae" title="Norma Rae">Norma Rae</a>, a win that some critics denounced.<a href="#cite_note-shales-12">[12]</a><a href="#cite_note-copley-13">[13]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Legacy_and_other_Muppet_renditions">Legacy and other Muppet renditions</h2></div>

The song's name has been used by a number of charitable organizations wishing to evoke its message, including a children's charity similar to the <a href="Make-A-Wish_Foundation" title="Make-A-Wish Foundation">Make-A-Wish Foundation</a>,<a href="#cite_note-rainbowwish-14">[14]</a> a summer camp for seriously ill children,<a href="#cite_note-rccamp-15">[15]</a> and a horseriding camp for people with disabilities.<a href="#cite_note-rc-dot-org-16">[16]</a> The name's influence can also be seen from business names<a href="#cite_note-rc-suspenders-17">[17]</a> to artificial Christmas tree products.<a href="#cite_note-rc-treetopia-18">[18]</a>

The <a href="American_Film_Institute" title="American Film Institute">American Film Institute</a> named "Rainbow Connection" the 74th greatest movie song of all time in <a href="AFI's_100_Years...100_Songs" title="AFI's 100 Years...100 Songs">AFI's 100 Years...100 Songs</a>.<a href="#cite_note-19">[19]</a>

The song is also reprised by a large group of <a href="The_Muppets" title="The Muppets">Muppets</a> as the closing number in the 1985 special <a href="The_Muppets%3A_A_Celebration_of_30_Years" title="The Muppets: A Celebration of 30 Years">The Muppets: A Celebration of 30 Years</a>.

Kermit reprises the song in the 2011 film <a href="The_Muppets_(2011_film)" title="The Muppets (2011 film)">The Muppets</a>, this time as a duet with <a href="Miss_Piggy" title="Miss Piggy">Miss Piggy</a> that leads into the entire Muppet group singing together.
