Poll: Favorites Songs on Muppet Central Radio

[Phillip]

I am wanting to get some info from you guys. If you listen to Muppet Central Radio please take a couple minutes to carefully think about this and let me know your feedback.

Before I ask the question, here are some requirements before you answer...

1. Please do not answer the following to my question: Rainbow Connection, Mahna Mahna, Bein' Green, The Muppet Show Theme or Moving' Right Along. Variations of these songs (like The Magic Store or Bein' Green Disco) don't count either.

2. For this survey, I am only interested in songs that feature the Classic Muppet Show characters, not any of the other Henson worlds (Sesame Street, Fraggle, Bear etc.)

Ok... taking into account the three statements above, what do YOU think are the next five, most popular Muppet songs of all time. Keep in mind, I'm including Rainbow Connection, Mahna Mahna, Bein' Green, The Muppet Show Theme and Movin' Right Along as the top five. I'm curious to find out if we can come to some sort of agreement what would be 6-10. By the way, I'm counting Sing as a Sesame Street song, even though the Classic Muppets have done it.

Are you up for the challenge? Let me know what you think should fill slots 6-10. I have ideas on how to maybe fill the slots but I wanted to see what you guys thought. The results of this feedback will help to make a difference on our Muppet Central Radio playlist.

All of those are in our current rotation except for "Momma Dont Allow". I'll make a note of that one to be considered in the future.

current rotation..

o cool!
is there a listing somewhere of all the songs that get played...that we can view...?

 

[Phillip]

No, there isn't a complete list. One of the requirements of being a legal station is that we do not publish our entire playlist. The playlist is always changing as well.

When I saw this thread I said to myself this is easy, and I began to write down the songs that I thought was great.
But I had to stop because suddenly I had 20 or so songs on that list and you only wanted 5 songs.
So this is actually a very hard question. But here goes my suggestion for slot 6-10:

6: Half way down the stairs
7: New York State of Mind
8: Together again
9: Hugga Wugga
10: The Onion song

My favourite song I have ever heard on muppet central radio is Consider Yourself and I think it was sung by Edgar Bergan and Charlie McCarthy.
I have only heard this song once unfortunately though. I dont listen to muppet central radio that much though, maybe once or twice a week.
