Muppet tribute to Paul Simon, Kodachrome

[Snailsoft]

Kodachrome is the brand name for a color reversal film introduced by Eastman Kodak in 1935. It was one of the first successful color materials and was used for both cinematography and still photography. For many years, Kodachrome was widely used for professional color photography, especially for images intended for publication in print media.

Because of its complex processing requirements, the film was initially sold only with the cost of processing; independent photography stores were prohibited from developing Kodachrome. To develop the film, customers had to mail it to Kodak, which would then send the developed film back as part of the purchase price. In 1954, the U.S. Department of Justice found that this practice violated antitrust laws by being uncompetitive. Kodak then entered into a consent decree, requiring the company to offer Kodachrome film for sale without the development fee, as well as license Kodachrome development patents to independent photography stores.

"Kodachrome" is a song by the American singer-songwriter Paul Simon. It was the lead single from his third studio album, There Goes Rhymin' Simon (1973), released on Columbia Records. The song is named after Kodak's now-discontinued reversal film brand, Kodachrome.
Considered an underground hit, the song was banned by many radio stations due to legal threats by Kodak over copyrights. The corporate oppression of art/music only helped to advance Simon's songs.

When I was young, my grandfather taught me to use a silver plate camera.
Years later I got my first Kodak

Of course, like most, I only used the best film... Kodachrome.
I later dropped Kodak for Polaroid instant processing and no darkroom.

I'm also a Muppet (marionette and puppet) fan.
