WIN! The Muppets movie original soundtrack on CD

 
Kermit, Fozzie Bear and Miss Piggy are back and in top vocal form, as Walt Disney Records releases the soundtrack to Disney’s The Muppets, the upcoming brand new big-screen adventure starring Jason Segel, Amy Adams and the beloved Muppet gang. 

Featuring songs written by Bret McKenzie (Flight of the Conchords), updated versions of Muppet classics and familiar hits given the Muppet treatment, the soundtrack arrives in stores and at online retailers. The film opens in the UK on February 6.

When Walter, the world's biggest Muppet fan, his brother Gary (Jason Segel) and Gary’s girlfriend Mary (Amy Adams) discover the nefarious plan of oilman Tex Richman (Chris Cooper) to raze the Muppet Theater, they help Kermit reunite the Muppets to stage a telethon and raise the $10 million needed to save the theatre.

Stars Jason Segel, Amy Adams and Chris Cooper join in the singing, as do special guests Feist, Mickey Rooney, Joanna Newsom, Disney Music Group artist Nathan Pacheco (plus the whistling skills of Andrew Bird).

Bret McKenzie, who created, co-wrote, executive produced and starred in the hit HBO television series ‘Flight of the Conchords’, is the music supervisor, as well as the writer/producer of four original songs, including Life’s a Happy Song, Let’s Talk About Me, Man or Muppet and Me Party. McKenzie also produced Pictures in My Head and Rainbow Connection.

The Muppets turn in new renditions for The Muppet Show Theme (co-written by Jim Henson) and another treasured Muppet classic, the Oscar®-nominated Rainbow Connection, as well as the original 1969 version of Mah Na Mah Na. The felt gloves come off in new Muppet interpretations of Cee Lo Green’s Forget You and Nirvana’s Smells Like Teen Spirit. Also included, the original versions of Paul Simon’s 1972 hit Me and Julio Down By The Schoolyard and Starship’s 1985 chart-topper We Built This City. The album also features 15 dialogue clips from the film.
