It's time to play the music
It's time to light the lights
It's time to meet the Muppets on the Muppet Show tonight
It's time to put on makeup
It's time to dress up right
It's time to raise the curtains on the Muppet Show tonight
Why do we always come here
I guess we'll never know
It's like a kind of torture
To have to watch the show
To introduce our guest star
That's what I am here to do
So it really makes me happy to introduce to you
"Ladies and gentlemen OK go"
So now let's get it started
Why don't we get it started
It's time to get things started
On the most sensational inspirational celebrational Muppetational
This is what we call the Muppet Show
It's the most sensational inspirational celebrational Muppetational
This is what we call the Muppet Show

Weezer - Rainbow Connection
[ Featuring Hayley Williams ]
Why are there so many songs about rainbows
And what's on the other side?
Rainbows are visions, but only illusions,
And rainbows have nothing to hide
So we've been told and some choose to believe it
I know they're wrong, wait and see
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection
The lovers, the dreamers and me
Who said that every wish would be heard
And answered when wished on the morning star?
Somebody thought of that and someone believed it
Look what it's done so far
What's so amazing that keeps us star gazing
And what do we think we might see?
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection
The lovers, the dreamers and me
All of us under its spell
We know that it's probably magic
Have you been half asleep and have you heard voices?
I've heard them calling my name
Is this the sweet sound that called the young sailors
The voice might be one and the same
I've heard it too many times to ignore it
It's something that I'm supposed to be
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection
The lovers, the dreamers and me

Alkaline Trio - Movin Right Along
Kermit: Movin' right along in search of good times and good news,
With good friends you can't lose,
Fozzie: This could become a habit!
Kermit: Opportunity knocks once let's reach out and grab it
Fozzie: yeah!
Kermit: Together we'll nab it,
Fozzie: We'll hitchhike, bus or yellow cab it!
Kermit: Cab it?
Both: We're movin' right along
Fozzie: Footloose and fancy-free
Kermit: Getting there is half the fun, come share it with me.
Both: Movin' right along
Kermit: We'll learn to share the load
Fozzie: We don't need a map to keep this show on the road
Kermit: Hey, that song is sounding better, Fozzie.
Kermit: Movin' right along
We've found a life on the highway
Fozzie: And your way is my way
Kermit: So trust my navigation
Fozzie: California here we come, the pie-in-the-sky-land
Kermit: Palm trees and warm sand
Fozzie: Though sadly we just left Rhode Island
Kermit: We did what?!
Fozzie: Just forget it.
Both: We're movin' right along
Kermit: Hey LA, where've you gone?
Fozzie: Send someone to fetch us, we're in Sasketchewan!
Both: We're movin' right along
Kermit: You take it, you know best
Fozzie: Hey, I've never seen the sun come up in the West?
Fozzie: Movin' right along
We're truly birds of a feather
We're in this together
Kermit: and we know where we're going
Fozzie: Movie stars with flashy cars and life with the top down
Kermit: We're storming the big town
Fozzie: Yeah, storm is right-- should it be snowing?
Kermit: Uh, no, I don't think so...
Both: We're movin' right along
Fozzie:Do I see signs of men?
Kermit: Yeah, "Welcome" on the same post that says, "Come Back Again."
Both: We're movin' right along,
Fozzie: nice town!
Kermit: Footloose and fancy-free
Fozzie: You're ready for the big time
Kermit: Is it ready for me?
Both: Movin' right along
Movin' right along
Movin' right along

My Morning Jacket - Our World
We're closer now then ever before
How much alike we are, perhaps we're long lost brothers
There's love in our world and we're showing it more
We even think the same, you know there maybe others
Our world says "welcome strangers, everybody's a friend"
We could always use a friend
Favorite stories to tell in our world
Some say our world is getting too small
So many things to learn, but we'll enjoy each lesson
I say, with kindness, there's room for us all
Problems don't worry us when half the fun is guessing
Our world is always changing, everyday's a surprise
Live a lifetime of surprise
Love can open your eyes
In our world
(Repeat)Some say our world is getting too small
So many things to learn, but we'll enjoy each lesson
I say, with kindness, there's room for us all
Problems don't worry us when half the fun is guessing
Our world is always changing, everyday's a surprise
Live a lifetime of surprise
Love can open your eyes
In our world
When night is set upon you go watch the simple sun rise
Love can open your eyes
Welcome brother
To our world
In our world
How much alike we are, perhaps we're long lost brothers

Amy Lee - Halfway Down the Stairs
Halfway down the stairs is a stair where I sit
There isn't any other stair quite like it
I'm not at the bottom, I'm not at the top
So this is the stair where I always stop
Halfway up the stairs isn't up and isn't down
It isn't in the nursery, it isn't in the town
And all sorts of funny thoughts they run through my head
It isn't really anywhere, it's somewhere else instead
Halfway down the stairs is a stair where I sit
There isn't any other stair quite like it
I'm not at the bottom, I'm not at the top
So this is the stair where I always stop
There isn't any other stair quite like it
I'm not at the bottom, I'm not at the top
So this is the stair where I always stop
Halfway up the stairs isn't up and isn't down
It isn't in the nursery, it isn't in the town
And all sorts of funny thoughts they run through my head
It isn't really anywhere, it's somewhere else instead
Halfway down the stairs is a stair where I sit
There isn't any other stair quite like it
I'm not at the bottom, I'm not at the top
So this is the stair where I always stop

The Airborne Toxic Event - Wishing Song
I wish I had a coat of silk, the color of the sky.
I wish I had a lady fair, and then a butterfly
I wish I had a house of stone that looked down on the sea
But most of all I wish that I was someone else but me.
(Madeleine cheers up Gonzo)
Now I don't have a coat of silk, but I still have the sky
Now I don't have a lady, but there goes a butterfly
Now I don't have a house of stone, but I can see the sea
Now most of all I know that I am happy to be me.
I'm happy to be me.
I wish I had a lady fair, and then a butterfly
I wish I had a house of stone that looked down on the sea
But most of all I wish that I was someone else but me.

Andrew Bird - Its Not Easy / Being Green
It's not easy bein' green
Having to spend each day
The color of the leaves
When I think it could be nicer
Bein' red or yellow or gold
Or something much more colorful like that
It's not easy bein' green
It seems you blend in
With so many other ordinary things
And people tend to pass you over
'Cause you're not standing out
Like flashy sparkles on the water
Or stars in the sky
But green's the color of spring
And green can be cool and friendly like
And green can be big like a mountain
Or importan like a river or tall like a tree
When green is all there is to be
It could make you wonder why
But, why wonder, why wonder?
I'm green and it'll do fine
It's beautiful and I think it's what I want to be
Having to spend each day
The color of the leaves
When I think it could be nicer
Bein' red or yellow or gold
Or something much more colorful like that
It's not easy bein' green
It seems you blend in
With so many other ordinary things
And people tend to pass you over
'Cause you're not standing out
Like flashy sparkles on the water
Or stars in the sky
But green's the color of spring
And green can be cool and friendly like
And green can be big like a mountain
Or importan like a river or tall like a tree
When green is all there is to be

It's beautiful and I think it's what I want to be

Matt Nathanson - I Hope That Something Better Comes Along
You can't live with 'em, you can't live without 'em.
There's somethin' irresistabullish about 'em.
We grin and bear it 'cause the nights are long.
I hope that somethin' better comes along.
It's no good complainin' and pointless to holler.
If she's a beauty she'll get under your collar.
She made a monkey out of old King Kong,
I hope that somethin' better comes along.
Still, it's fun when they're fetching,
And agree to see an etching
That you keep at your lily pad.
There is no solution, it's part of evolution,
The pitter patter of soles,
The little feet of tadpoles.
(Ah, Rowlf, tadpoles don't have feet!)
(Oh. Sorry about that.... 2, 3, 4)
There's no limitation to mixin' and matchin'
Some get an itchin' for a critter they've been scratchin'.
A skunk was badgered the results were strong.
I hope that somethin' better,
I hope that somethin' better,
I hope that somethin' better comes along.
(Beep bop bidder da dum dum bum bum bum!)

Rachael Yamagata - Im Going To Go Back There Someday
This looks familiar, vaguely familiar,
Almost unreal, yet, it's too soon to feel yet.
Close to my soul, and yet so far away.
I'm going to go back there someday.
Sun rises, night falls, sometimes the sky calls.
Is that a song there, and do I belong there?
I've never been there, but I know the way.
I'm going to go back there someday.
Come and go with me, it's more fun to share,
We'll both be completely at home in midair.
We're flyin', not walkin', on featherless wings.
We can hold onto love like invisible strings.
There's not a word yet for old friends who've just met.
Part heaven, part space, or have I found my place?
You can just visit, but I plan to stay.
I'm going to go back there someday.
I'm going to go back there someday.
Almost unreal, yet, it's too soon to feel yet.
Close to my soul, and yet so far away.
I'm going to go back there someday.
Sun rises, night falls, sometimes the sky calls.
Is that a song there, and do I belong there?
I've never been there, but I know the way.
I'm going to go back there someday.
Come and go with me, it's more fun to share,
We'll both be completely at home in midair.

We can hold onto love like invisible strings.

You can just visit, but I plan to stay.
I'm going to go back there someday.

Muppets: The Green Album is a cover album of twelve songs originally from the Muppets, covered by alternative rock and pop artists. The album was released by Walt Disney Records on August 23, 2011, on a digipak CD and as a digital download. A music video was also produced for the album's sole single; "Muppet Show Theme Song", featuring OK Go attempting to produce their own music video until they are interrupted by the Muppets' antics.
Walt Disney Records announced the album at the 2009 D23 Expo as Muppets Revisited with a projected 2010 release date. The original project's name paralleled the title of Nightmare Revisited, the cover album that Disney had released for The Nightmare Before Christmas in 2008. The album was part of Disney's dualistic effort to revitalize the franchise and to promote the subsequent release of the seventh Muppet film, three months later. The album's name is derived as a parody of the Beatles' White Album and the artwork features a "typographic portrait" of Kermit the Frog's face, which is reminiscent of cover art derived from the rock albums of the 1960s.
Muppets: The Green Album was generally well received by critics and debuted at number 1 on both Billboard's Rock Albums and Alternative Albums charts. With an estimated 30,000 copies initially sold, the album also peaked at number 8 on the Billboard 200 chart, becoming the first Muppet album to reach the top 10.
