Great take on classics

This collection of new version on the muppet classics is not for the faint of heart. If you're looking for just another muppet singing your favorite song, this is not the album for you. That's obvious at the first chords of OK Go's recut of The Muppet Show Theme. But if you're open to creative masters spinning these incredible songs in their own way, you're going to love this album. The genius of these songs is the writing, they are great songs, regardless if they are being sung by Kermit or Wheezer. And the addition of the full bands to several of these tunes takes them to a place I would have never have dreamed they would go. Especially tasty is Alkaline Trio's "Movin' Right Along." A new instant classic in my book. Highly recommended.

The only problem is that we have to listen to it EVERY SINGLE DAY because my son loves it so freakin' much.
We love the muppets and thought this would be a fun spin and it is.
My husband is a bit of a purist and prefers the originals, which I totally get but this is fun and my son loves it and we enjoy it too so that's a big win.

This Album Makes Me Happy

I'm not going to do a music review, I'm just going to say that owning this album makes me happy. Listening to this album makes me happy. It's silly and wonderful and it makes me just...you guessed it... happy. If you're one of the many who grew up watching the Muppet Show, you will enjoy these new takes on old childhood classics.

Don't Miss this if You're a Fan of The Muppets and Alternative Music

Picked this up on Amazon yesterday for $4.99 (mp3 download). It's a mixed bag but some of it is fantastic making the full album worth $5 at least. Highlights are the weird OK Go version of the theme song, the Weezer/Hayley Williams (whoever that is) version of Rainbow Connection, and the Alkaline Trio version of Movin' Right Along. Andrew Bird's Bein' Green is pretty fantastic, and as much as I wanted to hate it, because it was Matt Nathanson, the cover of I Hope that Something Better Comes Along is very good. The clear winner for me though is My Morning Jacket's take on Our World from Emmet Otter's Jugband Christmas. I'm on the fence about Rachel Yamagata's I'm Going to Go Back There Someday. This is one of my favorite Muppet songs, actually one of my favorite songs in general, so I want to like it but I'm struggling with it. The original is undeniably low key as is Yamagata's version but her's is downright doleful which would be okay on it's own yet it has some weird whimsy thrown in that seems out of place. The melancholy harmonica parts that make the original great, in my opinion, are completely absent.

On the other side of the coin there are some real stinkers on here as well. Amy Lee's Halfway Down the Stairs and Brandon Sallers's Night Life do nothing for me, but this could have more to do with not being familiar with the songs... must be from something I haven't seen. Why The Fray bothered wasting studio time recording Mahna Mahna I do not understand, they simply could have taken the original to Kinko's if they wanted a carbon copy.

Airborne Toxic Event and Sondre Lerche turn in okay tracks with Mr. Bassman and Night Life respectively but the original material here isn't nearly as strong as the rest of the album so those two songs end up being kind of meh almost by default.

Overall I would recommend it if you can get it at a good price like I did. Fans of the show will enjoy most of the album at least. And while I would skip most anything Weezer does these days, and I'm not a huge fan of OK Go, and don't care for the The Fray or Matt Nathanson at all, the material and spirit of the album trump my feelings for them and they actually deserve credit for doing the material justice.

I was really surprised how much I liked these covers! I wanted one or two songs from the original, and thought this would be a good fall back plan. The artists clearly love the original music too! These tributes are great to listen to.
