For a few months at the end of last year and start of this year, I downloaded songs from the album Fair is Fair, a few months ago I finally finished it. And Fair is Fair is a great album. I'd say it's underrated, doesn't really come up often.

It feels like the kind of variety of the show. We get songs with some of the Muppets and songs with some of the humans, plus a song with Jamie Alf (who was active on Schoolhouse Rock) and a few new characters (I keep alternating between whether The Orange Helicopter is a group of humans or a group of Muppets).

We get so many musical genres. Tell Them and Too High are disco, Don't Go Away Without Me sounds as rock as I Wish I Had a Friend to Play with Me, we get country with Very Fair Very Square Dance, Too Busy gives me Jackson 5 vibes, the title song sounds vaudevillian.

My favorite songs on the album include the opening "Talk Nice to Me", Gordon's "Tell Them", Prairie Dawn's "I'm a Person", Jamie Alf's "Too Busy", "It's Too High", and the closing "So Nice to Be Here with You".

Anyone else hear this album?
