The Muppets sing the Beatles

With the new video game and album re-release coming out, many (including myself) are taking a look at the Beatles’ songs. Many people have covered the Beatles over the years. Even the Muppets took their take on them. Here’s a fab link to a number of those covers, including a cover of a song the Beatles covered and a soundalike parody which, as the link in the link explains, almost caused a lawsuit. Since The Muppet Show was produced by ATV, which also owned the rights to the Lennon/McCartney catalog at the time, it’s not surprising the Muppets took to the Beatles so many times.

Just this week I found myself whistling at the grocery store. When I realized what I was whistling, I looked around furtively to see if anybody heard, but then I realized – they’ll just think I’m whistling The Beatles! Ha ha! [sotto voce] Elmo, you can drive my car, doo doo do do do.
