OK Go do the Muppets

From the guys who brought you the now-famous treadmill dance videofor their song “Here It Goes Again,” the remarkable Rube Goldberg machinefor their song “This Too Shall Pass,” who incorporated dogs into their choreographywith remarkable results for their song “White Knuckles,” and who went through 215 loaves of bread to animate toastfor their song “Last Leaf,” comes a new video featuring the muppets.
OK GO is on a new Muppet-themed compilation album, performing Muppet Show theme song, and the video will hit YouTube on Aug 23 (this coming tuesday).

Just FYI. I’m looking forward to it, and anyone else who loves the Muppets and/or OK GO might also be interested in seeing it and/or discussing it once it’s released.

I think the song sounds pretty cool, one of the highlights of the album for me. Cool, that there’s going to be a video!

The Thread I started got 167 views- so it seems other Dopers are interested . . .
. . . and of 167 views it got zero replies- so it seems other Dopers actually are not all that interested.
(many views, zero replies always bewilders me)

Anyway, looks like the NPR link is still allowing a listen to the entire album.
I stand by my “Highlights List” from the other Thread.

Please remember to bump this thread on Tuesday for those of us with memory issues.

I also remember the one filmed in the park over 18 hours from dusk to day - with a duck.
Here it is - End Love.

I love OK Go. I’m a dumpy middle aged mom but I just adore that group.

I LOVED The Muppet Show so I listened to some of the NPR stream the other day and I absolutely hated it.

Are they ever going to release that movie or will it be awesome trailer after tribute album after awesome trailer? 'Cuz that’s working for me.

That’s a goose!

Thanks! I’ll be watching Tuesday.

You forgot to mention the other video for “This too shall pass” with a marching band in gillysuits. My son loves that one.

Another gem: this OK-Go video, with all the colors.

Ha! My girlfriend is in that video. They sent an e-mail out to the fan club and invited fans for the choreographed crowd scene at the end of the video.

The Official Video is now up!

The Statler/Waldorf interlude is hilarious.

That was simply awesome!

QFT! Loved when the Muppets turned the band into puppets.

I had a feeling I wasn’t going to like this after I heard the sans Muppet version and, while this is better, it just doesn’t have a certain something that I can’t quite pinpoint.
I love the Muppets (the ol’ screen name attests to that) and I love OK Go, but the mix feels somehow devoid of the things that makes both great.

I guess I was more hoping for something that felt a bit like this.

Yeah, I was disappointed with the songs; with a big exception of Andrew Bird’s rendition of “Bein’ Green.” That one was pretty outstanding.

I dug it.

Liked the ending with the levels of dreams. Reminded me of the Pear sketch.

That was very good, thanks for the link.

I have never heard of “OK Go,” and every time I see this thread title I think someone is suggesting some sort of Henson-themed Furry orgy.

i agree with drbhoneydew… it was OFF. the singing was just… bad? flat? i think TMBG would have done a much better job musically
