Martina McBride's version of "When Love Is Gone" is a new addition to "The Muppet Christmas Carol" soundtrack, reissued yesterday (Nov. 22) in conjunction with an anniversary DVD edition of the classic holiday film. The balance of the Walt Disney Records set mirrors the original version, with Paul Williams' songs and score as sung by such beloved characters as Kermit the Frog (as Bob Crachit), Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem and Statler and Waldorf (as the late Marley Brothers).

Still featured on the disc is Meredith Braun's original "When Love Is Gone," as well as star Michal Caine (Ebenezer Scrooge) singing the joyous "Thankful Heart" upon his Christmas morning epiphany.

Dubbed "Kermit's 50th Anniversary Edition," in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Jim Henson Company, the new DVD due Tuesday (Nov. 29) includes remastered version of the film in full-frame and widescreen format. Also reissued on DVD Tuesday are "The Muppet Movie," "The Great Muppet Caper" and "Muppet Treasure Island."

Um...that was track #18 on the original release...

Also, The EM don't have any songs on the soundtrack. That article is pretty wrong.

 

[Fozzie Bear]

Didn't the EM Band play "Good King Wenscasdreles" at the Fozziwig party?

 

[MrsPepper]

Technically yes. But it almost doesn't count, to me anyway, because they don't sing or anything. It's kind of MCC's equivalent to "Nap Time" from MWoO. Animals shouts, that's about it. Am I right? I don't remember off the top of my head.

 

[theprawncracker]

Yeah MrsP. you're right, except that Dr. Teeth says "Nap time" too.

But, has anyone been able to find this CD yet? I've looked everywhere! Litterally! Best Buy, Target, Barnes & Noble, Sam Goody, The Disney Store, I can't find it anywhere! Has anyone else had the same problem?

 

[MrsPepper]

I haven't been able to find it, prawnie. Though that probably doesn't matter because it seems that the laws of pricing and merchandise are thrown out when it comes to canadian stores. :/ We don't have the same places, or same things, as you guys, alot of the time.

Oh prawnie, I meant that in MCC Animal shouts a little and bangs some drums. It was the equivalent to Nap Time because in that song, 'Nap Time' is all that is said! One has twowords, the other has none. :/

I haven't seen this cd or the dvds anywhere.

 

[OverUnderAround]
