Sadly enough they never released a soundtrack to The Muppet Movie.

I believe THIS was part of the Standard Rich & Famous Contract.
/once actually put "Movin' Right Along" on a mix tape
Dammit. I should have read this before I settled in for a night of doing absolutely fuck-all.
Interesting that the Plastics are playing here while Rock 'n Roll is running in town as well considering, well, a lot of it centers around them.

Oh SNAP! I stand happily corrected. I knew Rainbow Connection was on another album but I was trusting the otherwise all knowing Amazon for my information.
A quick ebay search reveals the cheapest copy of the CD has a starting bid of $79.99. And now I'm sad again.
Brock, you missed listing a free concert by Paula West last night. She's doing a paid gig at Herbst tonight.
