And as an adult, I may actually love them even more.  It’s hard to say, which movie is my favorite.  I am a big fan of Muppet Treasure Island, although I am pretty sure that The Great Muppet Caper was probably the movie that got the most viewings from me as a kid.  But the most recent addition to the series, The Muppets, starring Jason Segel and Amy Adams gives each of those films a run for their money.  In many ways this movie was an homage to all of the older films and the late 70′s run TV show. Very whimsical and very fun, and one of the best parts of the movie were the musical numbers.  Thanks to the help of Bret McKenzie (Flight of the Conchords) the movie is filled with some very witty and melodic sing-a-longs, including the Oscar-nominated “Man or Muppet”.  It’s an awesome ballad that finds our two main characters at a crossroads, needing to find their identity, and make a decision. It’s the climax of the film and has a pretty unexpected and awesome cameo by the hilarious Jim Parsons (Big Bang Theory).  If you are a fan of the Muppets, then The Muppets is a must see.  And despite what Fox News might try to make you believe, it’s great family-friendly movie.

I like that lyric a lot, mainly because it’s your music that you use to help establish yourself with your friends, as well as make new ones.

Well that also gets to serve as our opening lyrics to this beautiful remix of Rebel Rebel. I know that lyric is out of place, as it was released 25 years after Rebel Rebel first hit the turntables, but dang is it fun to hear looped in there.

As most of you know I’m a sucker for some Soulwax, and I couldn’t NOT (double negative) post this contagiuous explosion of Bowie magic.

Ps. for those not aware of Bowie magic, you need to watch a lot more Flight of the Conchords.

Anyways, this remix is lively, and very very entertaining. Sure to make your mixtapes howl, and your ears to spurt the  red wine of life. Ω

In case you somehow don’t understand how to get in the video.  Just watch this video and let Mel tell you what to do.

For those of you who haven’t memorized the song yet go ahead and get started here.

Which was great because with each friend that I showed, they then had another person they knew just had to see it. And trust me when I tell you that you have to see it as well. Unfortunately I’ve lost my video file that I had doesn’t work any more (something about the video codec is lost or something like that). But not to worry. A lot has happened since I first stumbled upon “New Zealand’s fourth most popular comedy folk duo.” Not only have they released an EP and a full-lenght album under Sub Pop, but they have also written and starred in the first season of their own comedic television show on HBO. The show is hysterical. It functions as a sort-of musical sitcom. I highly recommend you checking it out. From what I can understand, they are in the process of writing a second season, but I haven’t heard yet when that is supposed to air. For now, here is one of my favorite songs to come out of the first season.
