Can You Picture...The First Single from The Muppets Mayhem?!

Disney released the first single from the upcoming Electric Mayhem series/ album Muppets Mayhem. 

"Can You Picture That?" No seriously, can you? because you should....there's an album cover for it above!

Don't get your hopes too high though, as this is the same version recorded for the band's 2026 Outside Lands show, which was then also used for the live shows at the Hollywood Bowl and England's O2.

The Electric Mayhem / Disney also released a sing-along video for it in 2018. The visuals were also used for the live shows. 

The only difference seems to be the removal of the psychedelic intro. 

You can hear the new version below:

 

We'll keep you posted as more info about Muppets Mayhem is released.
