Amazon.com: Those who spent (or are spending) their formative years watching Kermit and Miss Piggy dance their special interspecies dance will revel in this spectacular, positively historic new Muppets CD, released just in time for the 25th anniversary of Jim Henson's The Muppet Show. A 20-page insert booklet, complete with color photos, details the fascinating history of Muppet music. Remember when Sesame Street's rendition of Jeff Moss's "Rubber Duckie" hit the kiddie pop charts? This 27-song CD harvests favorite and lesser-known recordings from feature films and from the original The Muppet Show, stringing songs ranging from Piero Umiliani's "Mahna Mahna" to Tony Burrello's "There's a New Sound" (the sound that's made by worms) together with skits and grand pronouncements and goofy sound effects like an old-time vaudeville show. A stunning variety of musical styles are showcased in this witty, wonderful collection that reminds us that a world without Fozzie Bear and Gonzo and Kermit and Miss Piggy would be less fuzzy indeed. --Karin Snelson

Gotta love the Muppets! This is a great cd featuring some of the best muppet songs and skits. My 9 month old son loves this, and it instantly puts an end to the tears associated with boredom in the car. It's a good thing my husband and I both really like the Muppets; otherwise we'd get really sick of this CD!
Fun for all ages Great for people who still remember the show, and even our 3-year old is now addicted to this CD (never having seen the show). You tend to get those songs stuck in your head, so be prepared to be humming along for a while after the CD is over. There are two or three sappy songs on there - just skip those.
Goofy family fun This CD is a gathering of several classic Muppet songs, both from TV and the movies. It's the only way I found to get some of the songs from the original "Muppet Movie" that I loved as a kid. Enjoy this with your family, and you might find yourself humming along.
Muppets Show Music, Mayhem and More! If you grew up with the Muppets - you have to have this. It makes me feel like a kid again. Great songs!
Graduate College Student If you enjoy the muppets or any of their movies, you will enjoy this CD. It brought back great childhood memmories for myself and the song, "Rainbow Connection", is great.
