I have mixed reviews for the Green Album (Muppets edition, but actually also Weezer edition if we’re bringing it up). I really like OK Go’s theme song cover. I do NOT like Andrew Bird’s cover of “Bein’ Green” (why does everyone love that guy??). I think I like the Airborne Toxic Event’s cover of “Wishing Song” (but it’s never so heartbreaking as when Gonzo sings it). And I love Matt Nathanson’s cover of “I Hope That Something Better Comes Along” even though I really hate Matt Nathanson’s voice (he sounds like all those other guys who are always singing heartfelt bullshit, like John Mayer and that other one). It’s so adult, which the Muppets always have been and the original song totally is, even though it’s played off as a bar singalong in The Muppet Movie. And I love the word “irresistible-ish” and he sells it, along with several lines that are essentially about bestiality.
