Episode 60: The Great Muppet Songbook

It's time to play the music, it's time to light the lights! For nearly fifty years, Jim Henson's Muppets have raised entire generations on classic tunes that have taught us how to laugh, cry, and experience the whole range of emotions in between. So this week, we're taking a look at ten of our favorite Muppet songs! 

Our selection ranges from the original Muppet Show all the way up to the latest feature film, Muppets Most Wanted. Join us as we cry our eyes out over "I'm Going To Go Back There Someday", dig into the emotional core of The Muppet Christmas Carol, delight in the go-for-broke showmanship of "Hey A Movie!" and "We're Doing a Sequel", and more!
