The film contains an original song, "Everyone Matters", performed by Kermit and Gonzo as part of Kermit's dream, and then reprised at the end. The film also makes reference to the Muppet classic song The Rainbow Connection, featuring a statue of Kermit in a park, erected in dedication "for the lovers, the dreamers and you".
