About the album

Seth MacFarlane has spent the last decade making old-fashioned big-band records with Sinatra-style arrangements, and the Muppets turn out to be a perfect match. Paul Williams and Kenneth Ascher wrote some of the loveliest songs in any family film for The Muppet Movie, and Joe Raposo's "Bein' Green" was always a torch song in disguise.

MacFarlane plays it straight and lets the melodies do the work: "Rainbow Connection" and "I Hope That Something Better Comes Along" are pure warmth, "Happiness Hotel" and "Movin' Right Along" swing, and A.A. Milne's "Halfway Down The Stairs" brings things to a gentle close. It's a record for anyone who grew up on Kermit and now owns a good stereo. Frogs, it turns out, have excellent taste in songwriters.
