There's an official video preview featuring samples from almost all the songs (Paul Simon and Starship are not included). Listening to these samples, most of them sound different from how I expected (yeah, for the most part I didn't have any lyrics to look at). Pictures in my Head sounds the closest to what I imagined (well, at first it did, and then sounded different from how I expected).

Has anyone tried this yet? I've been doing this all week long, haha.

I've had two YouTube videos open, one is The Muppet Show Season 3 Intro and the other is the Muppet Show Theme preview from the soundtrack, I've been watching the Season 3 Intro (muted) while listening to the soundtrack music just to see how it matches up. *such the geek! lol*

That's neat! How did it turn out when putting them together?

Finally listened to it all. It is great!! I am so happy that The Muppets are back on disc, lol. As far as some of the talk about odd-sounding Muppets, I didn't get that at all. This was a very good collection of songs and the dialogue works well as transitions. Reminds me of Broadway cast albums where some of the interstitial dialogue is included. This is a wonderful soundtrack album to go along with the plethora of others Muppet soundtracks that are in existence. Walter sounds awfully familiar... I cannot figure out who, but he sounds like another Muppet (obviously because he is performed by a Muppeteer), but I can't put my finger on it. My only thing is how the (SPOILER) Mahna Mahna fits in with the marriage proposal dialogue. On disc it sounds random (as the Muppets usually are) but in context with the film, it will probably make more sense. And with all of the songs from the Telethon, I love how they all fit together like an episode of The Muppet Show... I love it!! I hope there aren't any songs excised from the soundtrack that are in the film. Even if they are reprises of other classic Muppet songs, I would have liked for them to be included on this soundtrack. I rate this 5/5!!
