What is your favorite song from _The Muppet Movie

"The Rainbow Connection" was always my sentimental favorite, but I think these days I'll either have to go for "Movin' Right Along" (for the banjo and the chorus) and "Can You Picture That?," just because it finally gives Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem a chance to fully rock out.

The astronomy geek in me in 1979 or so absolutely loved the line "Aurora Borealis/SHINING DOWN ON DALLAS!" -- the more so because I thought to myself, "That's silly, Dallas is too far south for that!" Which I suppose was part of the point of the song, I guess.

Classic solo coffee shop singer/songwriter cover song moment =

"It's Not Easy Being Green"

My first album ever, when I was 4 or 5, purchased on cassette by my parents for me. I'm sure if I listened to it now it would reduce me to fetal position.

Remember the Miss Piggy over-the-top diva moment of "Never Before, Never Again"? Awful but wonderful.

Movin' Right Along is great, but "I Hope That Something Better Comes Along" is honorable mention.

I had that as a child too.
Miss Piggy song was my favourite.
I played it over and over.
It seems logical now I would
become a Marc Almond fan
as a teenager.

I liked the movie very much too.

god but 'movin right along' is great isn't it ?

― piscesboy, Thursday, 12 December 2002 23:35 (twenty-two years ago)

I haven't listened to that in a really long time, hold on... yeah, this is great. "Movin Right Along" and "Can You Picture That" are the obvious high points. Dr. Teeth's "Tenderly" is even better though. I think that's on the first Muppets album, which I don't have on vinyl, only tape...

― Dave Fischer, Friday, 13 December 2002 01:01 (twenty-two years ago)

I've no idea which album it is on, or whether indeed it was ever in a muppets movie, but The Great Gonzo Eating A Rubber Tyre To The Music Of The Flight Of The Bumblebee has a special place in my heart.

Great topic, LOL. :-)

"I Hope That Somethin' Better Comes Along" gets my vote. I always thought Rowlf was the coolest Muppet.

― Mike Dumas, Thursday, 9 January 2003 19:42 (twenty-two years ago)

'can you picture that' and 'movin right along' are my favorites, definitely.

"Movin' Right Along" is k-classic, and anyone who says otherwise will be written out of my will.

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 11 December 2003 07:05 (twenty-one years ago)

'rainbow connection', especially the closing version at orson welles' office... 'life's like a movie / write your own ending...'

Kermit:
I don't mean to scare ya, my friend, but I betcha
Come "Father's Day", the litter bug's gonna getcha;
Rowlf:
The urge is righteous, but the face is wrong.
Both:
I hope that somethin' better comes along.

Christ this film is awesome. I never realized they deliberately made Doc Hopper dress exactly like Colonel Sanders.

Her eyes during the fight scene followed by the film melting was a 1-2 punch of nightmare fuel for me as a kid.

this is me and a friend doing "I Hope Something Better Comes Along" for a Muppet-music themed breast cancer benefit (no puppets, no character voice). me on the right.

this movie is so golden....i need to fire it up again. "Moving Right Along" is such an ear worm

Lovely!

This movie genuinely sustains a permanent place in my all-time top ten. And all of the songs are great, but the very end of 'The Magic Store', particularly as the camera is pulling back to reveal every Muppet ever, never fails to give me chills.
