Our friends at ToughPigs discovered two interesting upcoming products.
First, is a cover album entitled London Music Works Perform Music From the Muppets.
The track list contains a nice mix of Muppet songs, though almost half are from the two most recent movies.
1. Theme (From "The Muppet Show") |
2. Mahna Mahna (From "The Muppet Show") |
3. Sax and Violence (From "The Muppet Show") |
4. Bein' Green (From "The Muppet Show") |
5. The Rainbow Connection (From "The Muppet Movie") |
6. I'm Gonna Always Love You (From "The Muppets Take Manhattan") |
7. One More Sleep 'til Christmas (From "The Muppet Christmas Carol") |
8. Life's a Happy Song (From "The Muppets") |
9. Me Party (From "The Muppets") |
10. Man or Muppet (From "The Muppets") |
11. We're Doing a Sequel (From "Muppets Most Wanted") |
12. I'm Number One (From "Muppets Most Wanted") |
13. The Big House (From "Muppets Most Wanted") |
14. PöpcÃ,rn (PöpcÃ,rn) |
15. Theme (From "The Muppet Show") [Instrumental] |
I'm going to guess "PöpcÃ,rn (PöpcÃ,rn)" is some weird internet issue, and they meant "Pöpcørn."
The strange thing, is that is itself a cover of Gershon Kingsley' 1969 song "Popcorn." which makes it an instrumental cover of an instrumental cover!
London Music Works posted a sample of the album:
The musicians are so good, it's almost imperceivable to tell the difference between the originals That does the musicians a disservice. Without any stylistic music changes, what we're left with is their amateur Muppet impersonations over the tracks, which does the listener a disservice. So no one really wins here.
The album will be available February 17 and it look like it will currently only be sold in the UK.
