The list of songs on the upcoming soundtrack album for The Muppets film was released October 10 by Billboard magazine and features a combination of Muppet performers, the actors and guest musicians.
The film's music supervisor, Bret McKenzie of Flight of the Conchords, wrote four songs which feature guest artists Feist and Joanna Newsom.
Also, Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" is covered by The Muppets Barbershop Quartet and Cee Lo Green's "Forget You" is sung by Camilla and the Chickens.
The Muppets update their classic, "Rainbow Connection," and the entire cast of actors and Muppets sing "Life's A Happy Song."
Cast members perform much of the music including songs, such as "Life's a Happy Song" with Jason Segel and Amy Adams, "Man or Muppet," a duet between Segel and new Muppet Walter, "Me Party," by Amy Adams and Miss Piggy, and the finale, "Let's Talk About Me," with actor Chris Cooper (The Town) singing.
Other tracks on the soundtrack include Paul Simon's "Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard," "We Built This City" by Starship and Andrew Bird's "The Whistling Caruso."
The soundtrack also includes bits of film dialogue, and Christophe Beck composed the score.
The film marks the return of The Muppets to the big screen with their biggest fan, Jason Segel, and his girlfriend, played by Amy Adams, rallying to help save the Muppet Theatre, about to be razed by oilman Tex Richman.
Walt Disney Records will release the soundtrack November 21 and the film opens November 23 in North America, followed by Brazil, France and Singapore in December, Australia in January and other markets worldwide in 2012.
