The soundtrack to the upcoming film “The Muppets” will feature 30 tracks of Muppetational hilarity including a few familiar songs performed in unfamiliar ways. The album will be released on November 21, 2011, two days before the film starring Jason Segal and Amy Adams hits theaters.
The Muppet Barbershop Quartet is listed on track 20 of the soundtrack as covering Nirvana’s smash hit “Smells Like Teen Spirit,” with former Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl even making a cameo appearance, backing the group on drums. Track 22 features Camilla and The Chickens performing the family-friendly version of Cee Lo Green’s “Forget You,” a perfect fit after Green’s performance wearing a colorful chicken suit at the 2011 Grammy Awards.
The film and soundtrack will also feature covers of Paul Simon’s “Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard” and Starship’s “We Built This City.”
