I think you're taking the "and what's on the other side" part of the lyrics too literally.

But Kermit invites the the listener to take that part literally, he spends the rest of the verse opining on the validity of rainbows as an object of mystery and speculation, which is not the approach those other songs take when addressing the topic, they just look at rainbows as pretty things that make them feel good.

You are clearly not one of the "lovers" or "dreamers" which Kermit sings of. Of course not, and in many ways Kermit reveals himself to be the worst kind of "lover" and "dreamer," one who should know better but still deludes himself. He lays out the explanation for why these myths are bullshit but then just rejects them without even bothering to make a counter-argument. Dare I say that it's the same mentality laid out in...

What do you call weedwackers in your local area?
Today is the first I'd ever heard it called a string trimmer.

I had this same conversation with my British in-laws 5 days ago. In fact, those same in-laws are currently in Boston. This is very, very weird....

I had the biggest crush on Meredith Salenger when I was a kid. Haven't thought about her in years. After this post, I looked her up and realized she's still had a lot of work the past few decades, but aged terribly. Dodged that bullet...

Mega Man is the best side scroller franchise. Fight me. The original six Megaman games were basically clones of themselves with super minor iterations, the stories and world were nonsense even by eight bit video game standards, and the Wiley stages were always super cheap. Castlevania forever.

I've never sat and stared and wondered how the hell I'm going to beat a level as much as Mega Man. You stare at it for minutes. Mario, Zelda dont have that.
To be fair, I forget if Castlevania does.

You can brute force your way through most Mega Man levels if you grab the right power-ups, play the robot masters in the right order, and try over and over. Mario, by contrast has much more meticulous level design and Zelda... isn't a side scroller. Castlevania by contrast is more of a twitch reflex game, but it has style, and that goes a long way.
