"This Frog" is a Sesame Street song sung by Kermit the Frog, with the Happy Squares providing back-up vocals. The song is a declaration of Kermit's independence and determination to succeed.
The song inspired the title of a 2016 Jim Henson Legacy screening at the Museum of the Moving Image, entitled "This Frog: A Kermit Kompilation from Sam and Friends to Stardom." The compilation itself concluded with a montage set to the song.
