I know, it's a little too many tracks. But it's a good way to celebrate 50 years.

 

[floydnjanicefan]

I think that that lineup would be so cool if it were released. However, I think that it includes too many Bear in the Big Blue House Songs, after all, it is a relatively new show. Other than that, I think that the lineup is awesome. I hope a company seriously considers producing a set of CDs like this...

How about adding in:
-another song or two by the Electric Mayhem
-Fuzzy and Blue (and Orange) by Grover, Cookie, Herry, and Frazzle

 

[Mklonstage]

With the Muppet's 50th Anniversery soon, I came up with a 3-disc CD in a "Songs Of The Street"-style. I didn't want to finish, so I deicied to expand two more discs so here it is...

42. Many Ways To Say I Love You - Betty Aberlin and Joe Negri [2:14]

This is from Mr. Rogers not the Muppets.

 

[Ryan]

This is from Mr. Rogers not the Muppets.

Well, Rosita did cover it in an SS tribute to Mr. Rogers on the 2003 Daytime Emmys.

 

[Erine81981]

I think the ones that have the same song from "Songs of the Street" shouldn't be in there. If u want lets have the Onicker Sisters for New way to walk and the ornigal version of "Whats the name of that song?" instead of the newer version. I like it but too many that are on the song of the street cd. I would if it wouldn't have songs from that cd but put in some other songs that u don't hear that much from an old episode. Sorry but I don't think I would buy it because of the songs that r from another cd i would be getting soon. But keep up the gppd work.

NOTES:
To many songs from BITBBH, get rid of most of them.
Get rid of most "Songs of the Street" songs, "This Frog" is on there for a reason.
Get rid of Mister Rogers songs, it has barely anything with Muppets.
Add a few more Electric Mayhem songs and "Fuzzy and Blue".
Add orignal "A New Way To Walk" and "What's The Name Of That Song?"

 

[floydnjanicefan]

I think that the list is perfect. Now we just need a company that will put out this collection. I really would love it - I am always listening to Muppet Central Radio and the few Muppet CD's I have, but I think it would be awesome to be able to listen to all of these songs on CD anywhere I go. I think this list of songs would be the ultimate Muppet music collection...

 

[BlueFrackle]

Philo and Gunge,

Hey,
When did Kermit sing 'This Frog' with Fozzie, Gonzo and Grover ?


see ya

 

[Philo and Gunge]

Hey,
When did Kermit sing 'This Frog' with Fozzie, Gonzo and Grover ?


see ya

Warrick, it is Fozzie, Gonzo and Grover standing in for the Anything Muppets. I don't know why, but since they are some of Kermit's best friends, I figured it's the right thing to do.
