Interpretation
The lyrics of the song 'Frogs In The Glen' by
Sesame Street are about being proud of who you are, even when comparing yourself to others.
The text begins by saying that the nightingale sings a beautiful song that you can listen to all night. Although the narrator admits that his own song is not as beautiful, he repeats over and over that he is proud to be a frog in the glen.
Then the butterfly is mentioned, who is so colorful with its orange, yellow, and black wings. In comparison, the frog is only green, but the text emphasizes that one should be proud of who they are.
It is also pointed out that deer can jump higher and fish can swim faster than frogs, but frogs have their own abilities. A deer can't dive deep and a fish can't croak. That's why one should be proud of who they are and what they can do.
The text encourages being proud of your fins, of catching flies, of jumping over logs, and of hatching eggs. Although frogs are small compared to humans and live under the stars, they should be proud to be frogs in the glen.
The lyrics of the song 'Frogs In The Glen' remind us that it is important to accept ourselves and be proud of what makes us unique, even when comparing ourselves to others. Everyone has their own abilities and talents to be proud of.
