Listen to the full Muppets Tribute Album - Muppets:The Green Album on NPR

In advance of the Muppets movie coming out this fall, an album has been put together where artists from today cover some of the most beloved songs that have played over the years on the show and the movies.

Some of the covers are pretty interesting and some are just weird. Weezer does a pretty good job with 'Rainbow Connection' and the Fray do Mahna Mahna very well. OK GO's version of the Muppet theme is a bit wonky for me however it is still a bit of a thrill to heard these songs re-interpreted for youth today.

Head over to NPR where you can stream the whole album. It is definitely worth the time and is a great listen.

thanks to @randeepk for the heads-up.
