edited November -1 in OK Go
 For those who don't know, OK Go is contributing to the upcoming film called "The Muppets". The movie, in case you haven't guessed already, is about reuniting the muppets. The guys did a cover of the Muppet Theme Song.

 

 Catch? Why, there's no catch! "The Green Album" comes out in August, while the movie comes out in... November... All of those who are dying from the torture called anticipation say "I"!

    Are they doing a cameo in the movie?  I have not heard any sort of rumor like this, mind, but it would be in the Muppets tradition.

    in case this isn't already somewhere here in the boards (maybe if it is, you just haven't seen it but I'm pretty sure Amber would post it somewhere as soon as she got it) BUT

    does that make you less anxious, magnoliamaggiemag?
  • magnoliamaggiemagmagnoliamaggiemag
    Yes, very less anxious (excuse the bad grammar). However, we still have the extremely long and unnessecary wait for the entire movie. At least now I have a cool cover to jam along to!

    OH, yeah. Posted within seconds of finding. But, I have absolutely no memory of where I put it. Somewhere logical, one hopes.

    Totally needs to be in this thread! LaughLaughLaughLaugh

    I did not grow up watching The Muppets, unfortunately. But I really liked the cover. Smile And now I'm quite excited to see the movie. Laugh

    Such a long wait, though...

    UNFAIR! They took the cover down... Cry. I was gonna show it to my dad who LOVES the muppets, and was super-duper excited, except when I tried to show him, it wasn't there!

    Shoot. Well, not suprised, really. But still. Glad I caught it, though, when I did!

    You have to be REALLY FAST to get something on the internet related to OK Go PAST THE BOARDIES!

    Thank you, Jordan! That was thoughtful of you to post your link on the boards of one of the cover artists!

    Quite a few of OK Go fans love the Muppets as well. Laugh

    My most musically inclined friend loved it.  That makes me happy.
  • sbf0202sbf0202
    Cool! My aside form OK Go, Sondre Lerche (another great artist) contributes to this album. I'm looking forward to hearing their rendition of the Muppet Show theme song.
  • sbf0202sbf0202
    You can now stream the Muppet Theme Song cover on NME:

    Thanks for posting this, I liked the article and saved the picture.  I wonder if Damian went to pieces again being in the presence of Kermit.

    I would think he would be more composed this time. The first time was completely unexpected.

    Although, the second time I got to talk to Tim, I wasn't much more articulate than the first time.

    Well if I ever have the chance to talk to any one of them I think I would fall apart, so it is not like I can judge.  LOL

    Don't worry about it, Becki!  I definitely feel like half the appeal of that video, at least for me, was seeing Damian react to something the way I react to him.  Or at least how I used to react to him.  I'm getting better at it.

    I guess it is good to know that he understands how we feel.
