Ok Go does it again with a sensational, inspirational, celebrational, Muppetational music video for its cover of Jim Henson’s "The Muppets Show Theme Song". I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, as long as Ok Go continues to make music videos all other performs should get out of the game. Is there anyone else out there that consistently makes entertaining music videos that are actually worth watching? Now I have to be honest, “The Muppets Show Theme Song” is not on the top of my list of favorite Ok Go videos, but it does have one really redeeming quality…it features a ton of The Blot’s favorite Muppets! So go watch it, like now!
For those of you wondering why this cover song was produced, it’s part of a new compilation album entitled appropriately enough Muppets: The Green Album, which includes 12 new versions of classic Muppets songs performed by contemporary rock and alternative artists. Conceptually, this album is right up my alley, and while I haven’t listened to the whole album yet I do like the few songs I’ve heard so far! It includes covers by Ok Go, Weezer, My Morning Jacket, The Fray, Alkaline Trio and Andrew Bird. Muppets: The Green Album is out now and can be downloaded from Amazon here for just $7.99!
