Your Thoughts: Muppets Most Wanted Original Soundtrack

I have decided I think it is an awful missed subtle gag that a member of the Electric Mayhem doesn't have the line 'How can I feel the high when I feel so low?'. My favorite EM jokes are the gentle jabs at rock and roll lifestyle.

That was actually Rowlf's line.

That was actually Rowlf's line.

Yeah i always get confused at that line since Teeth and Rowlf sound so similar...

Another reason I love the song "The Big House", it reminds me of the song sung by Peggy Lee as Peg backed up by the rest of the dog pound inmates from Lady and The Tramp keeping that fabulous 50's doo-wah sound/vibe.

My point. Should have been an EM member line.

It's been said that "I'll Get You What You Want" is a great disco style parody, and I agree to a degree, but I like it partly because it has these wonderful echoes of early-'80s pop songs - particularly Kajagoogoo's "Too Shy" and also the likes of Spandau Ballet, Duran Duran and Culture Club. Bret McKenzie's demo version actually feels like it could have been a Top-40 hit (especially in the UK) if it had been released in 1982 or '83.

Also, while I'm glad Bret didn't go with his original concept (Constantine as Elvis and/or The Big Bopper and/or John Travolta in Grease), that demo actually has some comic value, especially Bret's uncontrollable faux-macho giggling at the end.

I'd say it's closer to light soul than disco. It kinda reminds me of Lou Rawls's "You'll Never Find" (or whatever that song's called). It has an inherent cheese to it, making it a tacky 1970's lounge number- only better.

Ever since I heard Scooter perform "Moves like Jagger," the song has grown on me. I'd love to buy the soundtrack just to hear more of that (if I didn't love the other songs).

Though, I have to say, I kinda like this one better...

I have to admit, that "God I Hope I get it" bit, I don't mind not having. It just wouldn't hold the same weight as it did in the film.

You should hear Sesame Street's versions:

If anyone was a fan of Christophe Beck's film score from Muppets Most Wanted, than April 15 is your lucky day.

The Original Score album is now available! I'm listening to it right now, and it's wonderful! The only thing that would be better would be if they went back and released Christophe Beck's score for the last movie too...
