To coincide with The Muppets Disney is set to release a new soundtrack of Muppet favorites entitled Muppets: The Green Album. Along with My Morning Jacket covering “Our World” (from Emmett Otter’s Jug-Band Christmas), Andrew Bird‘s version of “It’s Not Easy Being Green” and OK Go doing their version of The Muppet Show Theme Song (all of which you can listen to after the jump), the album also includes The Fray doing “Mahna Mahna,” Rachael Yamagata covering “I’m Going to Go Back There Someday” (Gonzo’s song from The Muppet Movie), Alkaline Trio doing “Movin’ Right Along,” Matt Nathanson with “I Hope That Something Better Comes Along,” and Weezer covering “Rainbow Conenction.” The album hits stores next Tuesday.
