With apologies to The Rolling Stones, here are a few fun Muppet-related videos and links to tone down the recent seriousness of this space.

Please to enjoy.

• First Listen: ‘Muppets: The Green Album’

Andrew Bird, OK Go, Weezer, My Morning Jacket And Others Cover The Muppets. Listen to it before it’s gone.

• The Late Movies: Muppets Singing Classic Songs

A good mix of classic Muppet Show performances and some of the new Disney-produced YouTube videos.

• The National – Exile, Villify

Not technically a Muppet, but a great illustration of puppetry being capable of producing something incredibly emotional. Embedded below.

Happy Wednesday!
