Something So Right

In 'Something So Right,' performed by The Muppets, the song delves into the complex emotions surrounding love and commitment. Miss Piggy opens the song with a heartfelt declaration of her dream coming true, expressing her deep love and anticipation for a future with Kermit. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a perfect life together, filled with dreams of starting a family and growing old together. This idyllic vision is contrasted sharply with the recurring question: 'How can something so right feel so wrong tonight?' This line encapsulates the central paradox of the song, highlighting the unexpected doubts and fears that can accompany even the most seemingly perfect moments.

The song features contributions from various Muppet characters, each adding their own perspective on this emotional conflict. Dr. Teeth, Floyd, Pepé, Lew Zealand, Rowlf, Scooter, Link Hogthrob, and even Beaker chime in, each expressing their own version of this paradox. Their lines reflect a universal theme of uncertainty and the fear of the unknown, even when everything appears to be going well. This collective questioning underscores the idea that doubt and insecurity are natural parts of the human (or Muppet) experience, especially in matters of the heart.

The inclusion of Celine Dion alongside Miss Piggy adds a layer of gravitas to the song, emphasizing the depth of the emotional struggle. The duet between Miss Piggy and Celine Dion, asking 'Where is the love that’s written in the stars?' suggests a search for reassurance and a longing for the certainty that love is meant to bring. The song ultimately captures the bittersweet reality that love, while beautiful and fulfilling, can also bring moments of doubt and introspection. It reminds us that even in the happiest times, it's normal to question and seek deeper understanding of our feelings and relationships.
