Free Music Notes for The Muppet Show: Music, Mayhem, and More! - The 25th Anniversary Collection
Free Music Review: Memorable!
Hit: 5 Stars
I love this CD! The Rainbow Connection was the theme song at the elementary school I attended. Listening to it 25 years later gives me butterflies in my stomach. And I can't help to smile when listening to all the other tracks. Too Cute!Free Music Review: Few must-have songs
Hit: 3 Stars
There are some nice tunes here -- and the liner notes are truly excellent -- but for the most part, this CD really just highlights how many great Muppet tunes were actually on Sesame Street, and not the Muppet Show or Muppet movies. And the Sesame Street songs, probably for contractual reasons, are entirely absent from this disc.
Still, it's nice to get the original Rainbow Connection (although a number of recent cover versions are better and really highlight how interesting the lyrics are), It's Not Easy Being Green and other classics.

This album is a lot of fun. A collection of Muppet favorites from the good ol' days.
The first fourteen songs are taken from THE MUPPET SHOW (1976-1981) and the remainder of the album is composed of selections from the first several Muppet films, which makes this collection a convenient one-stop Muppet music destination.
It's been too long since I've seen THE MUPPET SHOW, but this collection includes standout performances like "Mahna Mahna", "Bein' Green", "Happy Feet", and, of course, the immortal "Muppet Show Theme".
And this CD takes the absolute best from the films, as well: four songs from THE MUPPET MOVIE (1979), three from THE GREAT MUPPET CAPER (1981), three from THE MUPPETS TAKE MANHATTAN (1984), one apiece from THE MUPPET CHRISTMAS CAROL (1992) and MUPPET TREASURE ISLAND (1996), and a version of "I'm Going To Go Back There Someday" originally recorded for MUPPETS FROM SPACE (1999).
This is the best (only?) album of classic Muppet songs I have found. And a great compilation it is. Any CD with "Mahna Mahna", "Rainbow Connection", "Bein' Green", "Happiness Hotel", and "The Muppet Show Theme" all on one disc is a winner in my book. I haven't seen the individual movie soundtracks available on CD, so this might be the only place to find The Electric Mayhem's "Can You Picture That?", Baby Piggy's "I'm Gonna Always Love You", or your other favorites.
I recently watched THE MUPPETS TAKE MANHATTAN and the only thing that would make this CD more perfect, in my mind, would be the inclusion of the touching "Saying Goodbye". But there's only so much space on one disc and that particular film is already well-represented.
So, to recap, you get fourteen classic songs from THE MUPPET SHOW, then some mini-soundtracks from the three Jim Henson-era movies, followed by three songs from the 1990s Muppet films. This really is a Muppets greatest hits album.
This CD is great for everyone: kids, adults, old Muppet fans, new Muppet fans, and nostalgia buffs. It's thoroughly enjoyable from start to finish and it's reasonably priced.
Buy it for your kids! Buy it for your friends! Buy it for yourself!

now don't get me wrong, i love the muppets & this collection has a lot of good stuff on it. i just have a problem calling it the best.where is the swedish chef theme,the countless duets w/ big stars of the day,animal,the old guys in the balcony?what about the seseme street characters ? they were muppets.so were the fraggles & they all sang. there was also a lot of great dialogue in all of jim hensons stuff that muppet fans would love to have.give me 4 more 27 track cds & i'll be all over it.as for this offering it may be the best we can get our hands on right now.that is accept for gonzo remix at the end...totally sux a$$!!!!!!Free Music Review: Wholesome fun for the family

I was reading a review that was left for this CD and have to say one thing, "Get a grip!!" We all grew up watching the Muppets and Sesame Street. It was all simple mindless fun when we were kids. Things progress as you get older. The video games we played as kids were simple minded. The video games of today are complicated and thought provoking with all the puzzles, secret areas and such. With that said, I move on.
I think that this is a great CD. I listen to it with my kids as well as watch the movies. It is fun for them because they are sharing a childhood memory with their parents. It is something that all of us can share. The songs are a bit simple but are funny and the most fun is the memories that you tend to remember when the music starts. So, take time to listen to this with your kids and enjoy!!! That is what life is all about!!!
