Get ready to clap your hands, shake that thang, and boogie! Accompanying the film Muppets in Space, wherein the gang goes in search of Gonzo's hitherto unknown lineage, this soundtrack features classic '70s funk that's good for the soul. G. Love and Special Sauce shine on their poppin'-with-flava cover of Brick's "Dazz" and George Clinton gets down with new Muppet star, Pepe, on "Starlight," a reworking of his classic "Flashlight." A party atmosphere is evident from the first strains of the Dust Brothers cover of "Shining Star" through to the Alien Gonzos rockin' out on the dance favorite "Celebration." Other high moments come in the form of James Brown's enthused "Get Up Offa That Thing" and the Commodores still superfabulous horn and bass driven "Brick House," both guaranteed to promote bustin' a move till the whole family's dizzy with pleasure. --Paige La Grone

5.0 out of 5 stars Terrific Music for a Terrific Movie, July 27, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Muppets From Space: The Ultimate Muppet Trip - Music From The Motion Picture (Audio CD)

As soon as I got out of the movie theatre, I immediately went to the store and picked up my copy of the soundtrack. I was so impressed with what they used for the movie, especially considering they were working all from old music. I had heard this before the movie, and was afraid that the soundtrack would just be annoying background noise, but it was great! The music is terrrific as is, and having seen the movie, I now cannot listen to the soundtrack without recalling specific sceenes, all of which were really cool. So see the movie, and buy the cd... Muppets rule the World!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Funky Good Time, March 8, 2001

This is one of my favorite soundtracks ever, because it's just so darned fun! Collected here is some of the best funk music around. A real highlight is the duet with George Clinton and Pepe! But don't get me wrong, the Muppets themselves only appear on 3 songs, the rest are preformed by humans. The only track I don't listen to is the last one, a remix of the classic Gonzo song, "I'm Going To Go Back There Someday". Why they felt the need to remix this song I'll never understand, but at least it's at the end and eaisly skipped over. I play this soundtrack when I workout and it never fails to get me through it with a smile on my face. I've even played it at a party once and not only did it get everyone dancing, but no one could believe it was a Muppet soundtrack! I thnk a few even bought themselves a copy.

This is a perfect CD for any age and especially if you're ready to have a funky good time! Buy it now.

I bought this for my four-year-old son who loved the movie and we dance to it all the time. I am 37 years-old and most of the songs are straight out of my youth. If we want to get up off our thangs and funk up with it we blast this cd. My one-year-old loves it too!
