(Original post - Side note: Piggy's Fantasy, which was dissed repeatedly earlier in this thread, is one of my favourite Muppet sequences of all time)
I second that! :smile: :mad:
Why, thank you Heralde. I was beginning to wonder if anybody else liked it. I know the song is ridiculous and over-the-top (as was most of the music accompanying the Esther Williams underwater sequences that obviously inspired that GMC scene) but the whole thing is just such a blast.

I'd love to have been a fly on the wall during the GMC planning stages when that scene came up for discussion. I wonder if it was Jim (who directed GMC) that conceived it or one of the writers. The whole thing is just so crazy and insane, right down to the sight of Piggy underwater blowing bubbles out her nose, and yet it's so beautifully done at the same time. That had to be a hard scene to film.

But hey, we all like what we like, and vice-versa. I could be opening a huge can of worms by saying I actually liked hearing James Brown belt out "GET UP OFF OF THAT THING" while a bug-eyed Gonzo carved a message for his alien family on the lawn using a ride-on mower in MFS. That just struck me as funny for some reason. To each their own, though...

Well, hey, I found it initially hilarious, and now I've kinda warmed up to it again. The sequence, not the song.

Even though I hated The Muppets, I think I should do a Best/Worst Song just to be fair:

Best: Man or Muppet
Worst: Me Party

Don't worry. I still like that song. It's just that it's my least favorite of the whole movie. That's all.

Least Favorite: "Never Before, Never Again" (but I still like it)

A Muppet Christmas Carol
Favorite: All of them

Muppet Treasure Island
Favorite: Ditto

Muppets from Space
Favorite: Eh.... "Jalapeños"? And I sort of like the new "Back There Someday", even though it was only included on the soundtrack. And I guess Pepe's song with George Clinton was funny.
Least Favorite: Eh....

The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland
Favorite: It's been so long since I've seen this one. What was that song that the plant sings to Elmo to get him moving?
Least Favorite: Drawing a blank on the movie in general.

It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie
Favorite: Everyone Matters
Least Favorite: Were there any other songs in this one? Oh yeah, the Moulin Rouge medley. That was okay, I guess.

Kermit's Swamp Years
Favorite: I'm not going to lie, I actually enjoy all of the songs here. So sue me.
Least Favorite: We've been over this. Don't you remember?

The Muppets' Wizard of Oz
Favorite: Didn't have one. Okay, "When I'm with You" was decent.
Least Favorite: What's left? It's been so long...

The Muppets
Favorite: Life's a Happy Song, Pictures in My Head, Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard (Yeah, it's not a Muppet song, but it was in the movie)
Least Favorite: Didn't have one. Yeah, as random as "Me Party" is, I do find it sort of catchy. And Richman's rap is kind of funny.

The Muppets... Again!
Favorite: "Life's Still a Happy Song", "Images in My Skull", and "Josh and Me at the Playground"
Least Favorite: Okay, that song that Miss Poogy and the 80's Robot sing, I wanted to like it but it was just so... random!

Okay, I obviously wasn't serious about that last one.:smile:
