Welcome to the friend zone, Rowlf. Biz Markie’s 1989 riotous rap classic “Just A Friend” gets a Muppet-themed [remix video](http://youtu.be/vvDa7JxosuE) by [Mylo the Cat](https://twitter.com/MTCyall) and it’s the perfect thing to watch on a Monday afternoon (or if you’re snowed in [thanks to winter storm Juno](http://time.com/3682240/weather-forecast-nyc-boston-snow-blizzard/)). In the video, Rowlf, the piano-playing Muppet dog, sings about his love for a certain blonde pig, who has a thing for a frog, but swears he’s just a friend. By the end of the song, though, it’s clear that Rowlf tragically learned his lesson to never talk to a pig who says she just has “a friend.” \[via [Laughing Squid](http://laughingsquid.com/rowlf-the-dog-of-the-muppets-sings-just-a-friend-by-biz-markie/)\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3682689/rowlf-biz-markie-just-a-friend-miss-piggy/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3682689/rowlf-biz-markie-just-a-friend-miss-piggy/"},"headline":"Watch Rowlf Sing Biz Markie's 'Just A Friend' to Miss Piggy","datePublished":"2015-01-26T19:03:30.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:16:15.423Z","description":"Even Muppet dogs get put in the friend zone.","url":"https://time.com/3682689/rowlf-biz-markie-just-a-friend-miss-piggy/","keywords":["Newsfeed","The Muppets","Music","viral","Videos","Viral Videos"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt99ca875c1e1e076b/69877be6cd6848a17b09955b/screen-shot-2015-01-26-at-12-28-55-pm.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Melissa Locker","jobTitle":"","url":"https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt99ca875c1e1e076b/69877be6cd6848a17b09955b/screen-shot-2015-01-26-at-12-28-55-pm.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Screen Shot 2015-01-26 at 12.28.55 PM","caption":"","creditText":"","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3682689/rowlf-biz-markie-just-a-friend-miss-piggy/","name":"Watch Rowlf Sing Biz Markie's 'Just A Friend' to Miss Piggy"}}]}] ```
