The taking place 65 years have actually seen the puppet-filled brand name extend into essentially every medium. Like most Muppet songs it comes down to the chorus of this song. “Movin’ Right Along” is a suitably fast-paced and very pun-heavy song, as Kermit and Fozzie encounter a fork in the road (a literal fork in the road), and seem to get so turned around that they’re soon driving in a snowstorm. Plus I was definitely into Jim Henson’s creations in general. The music to the number is almost more charming than the lyrics, and it starts with Kermit lightly scatting in rhythm to the song before he’s joined by Miss Piggy and Fozzie in singing in full. 'Crocodile' Muppets Rock With Elton John Looking much like a Muppet may have been Elton John's wardrobe approach throughout the 1970s, … But the fast pacing, driving guitar and percussion make it more fun than creepy.

The first appearance by proto-Muppets was way back in 1955, with the debut of Jim and Jane Henson’s first original TV series, Sam and Friends. ... Sweet, funny and well acted, "The Muppet Movie" isn't just the best Muppet movie, it's one of the best movies ever made. No reason for this was given by Oscar producers. As was the case with its predecessor, The Great Muppet Caper was shameless about breaking the fourth wall and interacting with the audience from the start. When they starred in their own variety show, The Muppet Show, each episode would feature some of the characters and the weekly celebrity guest in at least one musical number. Perhaps the smartest decision made in the production of the two new Muppet movies released by Walt Disney Pictures was bringing Bret McKenzie onboard to write the songs.

The Muppets, which featured songs by Flight of the Conchords' Bret McKenzie, wins the best song Oscar for Man or Muppet Oscars 2012 coverage continues on our live blog There was something about being able to get into the true feelings of Miss Piggy. The song gets an extra oomph with Piggy’s imagined co-star in the duet, none other than Celine Dion.

When the Muppets made the leap to the big screen, they didn’t stop making music, with songs written by musicians like Paul Williams and Joe Raposo. The 1996 film Muppet Treasure Island is, like The Muppet Christmas Carol, an adaptation of a famous British story. The disco-infused song not only has a great beat, but lots of clever examples of what Constantine will give to Miss Piggy, from a second pillow to an armadillo to a kangaroo, just to please her. The Muppet Christmas Carol (1992) Why Though: This is actually the first song (other than the theme song to the actual show) that I remember from the Muppets. The song really sets up a great movie, but even at the end of the movie when you’re not as happy about the whole thing as you hoped to be, at least you have this song to hum on the way home. With a piano-driven composition and lyrics like “She made a monkey out of old King Kong," this song is a perfect case of Muppet slyness. Plus, the sequence ends with Michael Caine awkwardly dancing, which is oddly delightful all by itself. The 84th Academy Awards did not feature performances from either nominated song ("Man or Muppet" from The Muppets or "Real in Rio" from Rio). Part of the New Zealand comic band Flight of the Conchords, McKenzie’s wry humor shines through the best songs in the new films, and “I’ll Get What You Want (Cockatoo in Malibu)” is the top of the crop. The film’s opening song, “Hey A Movie!," continues this trend as we see Kermit, Fozzie, and the Great Gonzo sailing in a hot-air balloon before landing in the middle of London. It’s my number one go to song in the shower if I’m feeling cheerful. That, of course, is Fozzie Bear, the old-school performer who’s desperate for a laugh. So you already know what this is! The two heroes of the 2011 Muppet movie have a dual identity crisis, explored in this song.

This was only the third time that Best Original Song nominees were not performed (the others were in … In a fantasy sequence in The Muppets Take Manhattan, we see what the Muppets would have looked like as...well, babies, as they sing this '50s-style rock number with appropriately high-pitched voices. The opening number from the comedy, in which the Muppets have various adventures in the Big Apple before reuniting happily in the finale, is a straightforward, almost deliberately simplistic number that’s part of a college-set stage show. Released in 1992, The Muppet Christmas Carol was a modest box-office success, but has since become a Christmas classic, and is consistently listed as one of the best film adaptations of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol. There’s an X factor to this song. It follows the same format of sketches and songs as the first album, but also includes guest-star appearances by Bernadette Peters and Peter Sellers. Is Walter a Muppet or would he rather be a man? Why Though:I don’t get how someone couldn’t find joy in this song. The movie has some wonderful new songs, including the Oscar-winning “Man or Muppet” by Bret McKenzie, and on the whole, it’s a wondrous romp that can be enjoyed by audiences of adults and children alike. The upper list of songs by Muppets may be not complete. Some of the best Muppet songs are group numbers, and “Happiness Hotel” from The Great Muppet Caper is a perfect example. While the musical sequence is clearly shot on a soundstage, the composition by Paul Williams (no stranger to the Muppets, as we’ll get to soon) manages to be sentimental without being sappy. All of your favorite Muppets take a turn singing their part of the classic Christmas countdown. “We’re Marley and Marley!” I was singing that for days after I first saw the movie. : Overview. This song works arguably as well as it does less because of Jim Henson’s traditionally quavery singing voice and more because of the playful music underscoring the lyrics, both when Kermit sings by himself and with the other Muppets. Though this version isn’t exactly the most faithful, its Ebenezer Scrooge, played quite well by Michael Caine, is introduced in a song that’s both Muppety and ominous, “Scrooge." That or I’m just really easy to impress once Jason Segal is involved. Why Though:A lot of my love for this song has to do with how it opens up The Muppet Movie. "I’ll Get What You Want (Cockatoo in Malibu)". The Muppet Show kicked off with a confetti-filled bang in1976 The Muppet Movie […] For Walter’s half, it’s even more fun to see his human counterpart, played by Jim Parsons of The Big Bang Theory. It takes a while for the Muppets to realize in Muppets Most Wanted that their friend Kermit has been captured and switched out with a criminal mastermind. In the new film, a friendly human (Jason Segel) and his Muppet brother Walter go on a journey to reunite the Muppets and save their old theater. But this song really stuck with me after this only ok film. Why Though:I didn’t think I’d end up loving this song as much as I do. In Muppets Most Wanted, our hero Kermit the Frog is forcibly replaced with an evil doppelganger criminal named Constantine. After the success of the 2011 reboot, it was only natural that Disney would commission a sequel, in the form of 2014's Muppets Most Wanted. My memory is that it happened every time… but what’re you gonna do. Part of the reason the movie is so beloved is due to the classic songs written by Oscar and Grammy-winning songwriter, Paul Williams and score by composer Miles Goodman. The Muppets are at their best in these films when they emphasize how fake everything is, with this song as a prime example. “A Professional Pirate," which he correctly dubs “my only number," is a high point of a largely underrated film. Songstube is against piracy and promotes safe and legal music downloading on Amazon . 1 minute read. This song might not have the same potency to kids, but adults will arguably appreciate the inherent sadness of the number, and how the Muppets can sell such emotion without it seeming ridiculous. (It’s a bit of a weird film.) The echoed chorus of “Am I a Muppet?” and “Am I a man?” feels very much like an offshoot of McKenzie’s work in Flight of the Conchords, introducing some slyness into the musical sequence. I love the manic appeal of The Muppets from the TV show but I think what sticks with me about the Muppets is their songs more than their antics. Why Though:I didn’t love this movie, but I LOVE this song. The songs from The Muppets: Wizard of Oz don't hold a candle to the classic Muppet songs -- to say nothing of The Wizard of Oz or The Wiz-- but they're not terrible either. And that’s what this song is all about. Here’s an example of a song where the reason it works is less because of the lyrics (though there’s enough fourth-wall-breaking and pop culture references for the adults in the crowd), and entirely because of the performer. After a long drive, Kermit and Fozzie discover the band in an abandoned church; once the band learns of our heroes’ plight, they endeavor to help out. Somehow a more pensive and sad song than the number at the top spot, “I’m Going to Go Back There Someday” is performed by the Great Gonzo (Dave Goelz) at a truly low moment for all of the good guys in The Muppet Movie. In the song, Scrooge himself doesn’t sing because he doesn’t have to — every Muppet we see explains through song just how bad Scrooge is. 6. Song/Rank:#10- “Marley and Marley” ft. Statler & Waldorf, Where You’ve Heard It:The Muppet Christmas Carol (1992). “Together Again” is a winsome, almost wistfully upbeat number that starts this film off right. In 1992, Walt Disney Pictures released its first of four Muppet movies, The Muppet Christmas Carol. Though this bouncy number alludes to the film’s original title in the lyrics (The Muppets...Again), the meta humor is funny without being too inside-baseball. I really connected with his Forgetting Sarah Marshall character and I feel like I ended up connecting to his manchild that needs to grow up in this film to. Curry, unlike the previous film’s human lead, had extensive experience in stage musicals and it shows in his impressive performance here. Song/Rank:#3- “The Muppet Show Theme Song”, Where You’ve Heard It:The Muppet Show (1976). This is the best version of “The 12 Days of Christmas” ever. The Muppets are back again in a new movie, The Muppets are back again in a new movie, "Muppets Most Wanted," which means more Muppet songs and musical numbers to … She wasn’t yelling or putting on a front because Kermit hurt her. The Muppets have always been synonymous with music. Why Though:I’m clearly all in for the Jason Segal songs! I don’t know why I love that opening so much (including the first joke made after the song is done), but it drew me in right away and really set the tone for the rest of the movie. 5. Before we meet any of the old favorites, though, Segel and his Muppet pal sing “Life’s a Happy Song,” as buoyant and charming a number as you’d hope from a new film. The 1984 film The Muppets Take Manhattan is the last one to feature the full original cast of Muppeteers, such as Jim Henson and Frank Oz. Depending on what you think of what baby-shaped versions of famous Muppet characters look like (and if you think they look icky), this song might be a bit too saccharine for your tastes. Yes it reminds me of the actual episodes and how I grew to love all the different characters, but I bet if no one ever saw the show they’d still enjoy this piece of music. Best of the Muppets featuring The Muppets' Wizard of Oz, released in May 2005, was the first new Muppet album since The Walt Disney Company purchased the rights to the Muppets.It was released as a soundtrack to The Muppets' Wizard of Oz, and also included nine bonus tracks of previously released material from The Muppet Show..

Kermit commiserates with the piano-playing dog Rowlf (both played by Jim Henson), as they duet on this number, grappling with how they love women even though they drive men crazy. Word to BIG BIRD! I also dig The Flight of the Conchords something fierce. Why Though:Unlike the previous entry, I knew I’d love this song from the moment it started. From 23 people Movin' Right Along Kermit the Frog and Fozzie the … From 33 people Life's a Happy Song! Whether you watch this song, which opens The Muppet Movie, or just listen to it, it’s hard to not get choked up at the wistful tune. But while the hotel itself is too crazy, the song is the perfect kind of crazy that encapsulates the Muppets and their crowd-pleasing style of performing. And, in the case of one gag, when the Great Gonzo suggests they only got to do a sequel while Disney “waits for Tom Hanks to do Toy Story 4”, the joke’s only funny because of how true it is. I can’t put my finger on it. It’s like an invitation to enjoy life for the duration of the song. (As much fun as this song is to listen to, the lyrics make literally no sense. Fandom Apps Take your favorite fandoms with you and never miss a beat. The Muppet Show Sesame Street Fraggle Rock Muppet films Muppet Babies Muppets Tonight Muppet TV specials Muppet home videos Little Muppet Monsters The … The lyrics are as playful as the visual gags, though one of the last lyrics — “Is it ready for me?” — referring to Hollywood hints as Kermit’s future stardom. At this moment, Gonzo sings a lonely number to the stars and clear sky, inspired by the joy he felt while being lifted in the sky by balloon earlier in the film.

TIm Curry’s performance as Long John Silver is a gleeful case of scenery-chewing, film-stealing work. "I Hope That Something Better Comes Along". Following one of the film’s funniest scenes, anchored by a Steve Martin cameo, Kermit the Frog is down in the dumps and left behind by Miss Piggy during a romantic dinner. With that in mind, it makes “Together Again” an even more poignant song. The diva gets into the anarchic spirit by mocking her bombastic self-image, lending her powerful voice to a song that’s just so silly. The world the Muppets inhabit is simply too rich for agreement. What makes “Can You Picture That?” so infectious and special is its tune and the ebullient enthusiasm with which the band performs to a largely, comically asleep Kermit and Fozzie. Though “Life’s a Happy Song” isn’t the best song in the film, it’s the kind of upbeat number that the Muppets made their name with back in the '70s. In either its theatrical or extended version (the soundtrack’s version is a bit longer), “I Hope That Something Better Comes Along” is a textbook example of a great Paul Williams song that also manages to fit perfectly for the Muppets. In the second half of 1984's The Muppets Take Manhattan, Kermit has an unexpected bout of amnesia to the point where he thinks he’s an advertising executive instead of one of the Muppets. (And it fittingly introduces the film’s villain, played hilariously by Charles Grodin.) But, you better believe I’ve made up for lost time. The name aside, this doesn’t seem like the kind of place you’d want to stay at for too long because the place would likely fall apart. It’s all a … “Steppin’ Out With a Star,” in which Kermit sings and soft-shoes his way through getting dressed for a fancy night out on the town while investigating a story, is one of the more old-fashioned numbers in the Muppet discography. I especially love the ghostly outburst they let out during one of the choruses. Which, I gotta say, is weird, since he’s really mean to Miss Piggy and kinda mean in general on the show. They face contention from an oil tycoon, indifferent Hollywood executives, and the Muppets’ personal differences along the way. There’s also something about this song that feels welcoming and comforting. Kermit the Frog plaintively sings this ode to rainbows and the mythology surrounding them, as he strums a banjo and lazes about on a swampy log. As the title suggests, this is an adaptation of sorts of Charles Dickens’ famous story about an English skinflint who learns the value of Christmas over one very wild, spooky night.

Not for nothing, I’m not even into Celine like that, but she is such a great addition to the proceedings on this. Some of the best Muppet songs are group numbers, and “Happiness Hotel” from The Great Muppet Caper is a perfect example. In the 1981 film, Kermit and Fozzie stay in a ramshackle hotel while investigating a mysterious crime; the ensemble number that ensues amongst the hotel’s employees and guests is the raucous “Happiness Hotel." Kermit realizes things are amiss just before things go too haywire, after which he starts singing this brief song, explaining that...well, he’s right where he belongs with the Muppets. Paul Williams and Kenny Ascher’s composition, coupled with Jim Henson’s vocal performance, make for one of the greatest movie songs of all time. Though Kermit has reunited with Miss Piggy, the two of them, Gonzo and Fozzie are stranded in the desert with seemingly no chance of rescue to arrive in Hollywood in time for a key audition.

This 2011 revival of the Muppets was their first film in over a decade, and exists in part as a referendum on the characters. The Muppets' Wizard of Oz official soundtrack was released on May 17, 2005. But “Steppin’ Out With a Star” is a Fred Astaire-like song that walks a fine line between being clever and being sweet.

For most of the film, it feels like they’d prefer to switch places, but they separately realize they embrace their own identity in the climactic song “Man or Muppet." The premise of “A Professional Pirate” is simple enough — the nefarious Long John Silver explains his personal philosophy to the heroic Jim Hawkins in the hopes of leading him to the dark side.
