it’s time to play the music it’s time to
light the lights welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re counting
down our picks for the top ten Muppet
songs for this list we’re taking a look
at the most sensational inspirational
celebrational and Muppet ational musical
numbers featuring this timeless band of
puppets
keep in mind we’re excluding songs that
weren’t originally written for the
Muppets like Mahna Mahna as well as
tunes that exclusively appeared on
Sesame Street as they deserve their own
list
number 10 the big house Muppets Most
Wanted he did boys this is the Russia’s
premiere if more prisons had Tina Fey as
a singing guard and inmates providing
backup we’d all be inclined to commit
more crimes in the that being said gulag
38 B is far from the luxury resort Nadia
pitches in this tune from
Muppets Most Wanted after being
wrongfully imprisoned
Kermit finds that his new home is even
murkier than a swamp but at least he
gets an entertaining song to go with
this rule with a catchy beat and doo-wop
harmony this Bret McKenzie penned number
will have you snapping your fingers all
the way to the big house number 9
happiness hotel the great Muppet Caper
if you didn’t enjoy your stay in the big
house you might prefer the happiness
hotel on the surface this dank English
and might not look like much but it
packs in a lot of heart spirit and
Muppets regardless still if you don’t
find friendly animals the staff and
residents will even play you a song upon
checking in as exhibited in this scene
from the great Muppet Caper like a warm
welcome from a country cousin happiness
hotel overwhelms you with its cheerful
hospitality even if the home in question
is tacky and rat infested
number eight we’re doing a sequel
Muppets Most Wanted we’re back by
popular demand
everybody knows the sequel is never
quite as good as its predecessor let
alone better but Muppets Most Wanted is
one of the few sequels that actually
pokes fun at this literally picking up
where the previous film left off the
Muppets plan their next movie through a
satirical song along the way they take
shots at less successful follow-ups like
The Godfather Part three four tailed
Disney’s plan to make a Toy Story 4 and
jam in a couple of quality celeb cameos
for good measure
as clever as it is triumphant we’re
doing a sequel demonstrates that the
Muppet franchise truly has no end in
sight
number seven can you picture that the
Muppet movie The Muppets are no stranger
to self-referential humor acknowledging
plot devices as if they’re elephants in
the room let me take your picture
reading the script for the Muppet movie
dr. teeth and the Electric Mayhem try to
think of a way to get there new friends
from point A to point B their solution
painting their car via a musical montage
it might not be the smoothest transition
into song but that’s part of the joke
can you picture that is nevertheless a
bubbly energetic and immensely fun and
funky number about believing in yourself
number six pictures in my head the
Muppets
is there more I could have said now
there are only pictures in my head
2011’s the Muppets reminded audiences
just how much they come to miss
characters like Fozzie Bear gonzo the
great and the Swedish Chef over the
years I didn’t do it I’ve been framed
gone through the great will ride this
baby again the film hit us especially
hard when Kermit takes a trip down
memory lane looking back on all the
cherished times he had with his friends
would anybody watch or even care or did
something break we can’t repair pictures
in my head perfectly captures the
sentiment of nostalgia making you feel
right at home one second and then empty
inside the next no matter how much the
world changes though characters like the
Muppets will never be forgotten
but I’m standing here instead now there
are only pictures in my head number five
moving right along The Muppet movie
driving in a Studebaker the unlikely duo
of Kermit and Fozzie Singh of their
showbiz dreams and the long road to
Hollywood throughout their travels they
encounter a number of visual gags like a
fork in the road and a certain
larger-than-life bird in some respects
moving right along feels like a number
out of a road to movie with Kermit as
Bing Crosby and Fozzie as Bob Hope all
of light-hearted puns and Kermit’s
upbeat banjo stylings this is the ideal
tune to accompany any road trip
moving right along
number four man or Muppet the Muppets
with a knack for quirky lyrics and
whimsical music Bret McKenzie was born
to write the songs for the Muppets
he won an Oscar for Best Original Song
for the hilarious man or Muppet in which
brothers Gary and Walter face an
identity crisis looking in the mirror
Gary is confronted by his Muppet
equivalent while Walter is confronted by
his human equivalent Jim Parsons of
course
am i above it if I’m above it
well I’m a very manly man very manly
muppet singing their hearts out both
come to sudden realizations as one
declares himself a muppet of a man and
the other stands tall as a very manly
muppet
I’m a very
number three The Muppet Show theme to
Muppet Show a better way to get things
started every week then with this iconic
theme song written by Sam Caudill and
Jim Henson himself it’s like a kind of
torture to have to watch this whole
through its large scale opening number
The Muppet Show established upfront that
it wasn’t some kitty puppet theater it
was an extravagant variety show with
dogs playing pianos monsters dancing and
bears telling jokes hey I got an opening
joke for you tonight the sequence would
shake things up each week with Statler
and Waldorf delivering a new wisecrack
and gonzo blowing his bugle of infinite
sound effects from episode one however
the theme song has always maintained the
same energy humor and charm no matter
where it appears
number two be in green Sesame Street and
The Muppet Show it’s not easy being
green this classic song not only speaks
to those born with a green complexion
but to anybody who’s ever felt different
seems you blend in with so many other
ordinary things originally performed on
Sesame Street but some many times since
in other Muppet media being green
expresses Kermit’s greatest insecurity
but it has become even more meaningful
with its message applying to race
environmentalism and more but greens the
color of spring and green can be cool in
the context of the Muppets The
Melancholy frog sometimes wishes he
possessed a more appealing skin color
like red or gold when I think it might
be nicer being red or yellow or by the
song’s conclusion though Kermit realizes
that being green is nothing to be
ashamed of if anything a lot of beauty
can be found in green after all it’s one
of the many diverse colors that make up
a rainbow I am Green that’ll do fine
that’s beautiful
and I think it’s what I wanna be
before we close the curtain on our top
pick here are a few honorable mentions
each time I make this promise every
breath I take will be used number one
Rainbow Connection The Muppet movie
rainbows are beacons of hope and so is
this oscar-nominated song from the
Muppet movie
the Rainbow Connection the lovers the
dreamers written by Paul Williams and
Kenny Asher Kermit the frog’s
heartwarming trademark number
establishes his desire to seek out
something greater in life
the rainbow
his dream of finding the Rainbow
Connection might seem impossible if this
banjo-playing amphibian has proven
anything however it’s that no dream is
unattainable and that enduring message
has gotten the song were prized by the
Muppets on several occasions whether
you’re looking for stardom friendship
home or all of the above your first step
is tracking down that rainbow and
following it to the very end
