Best of ...Both Worlds

"The Muppet Show: Music, Mayhem and More! The 25th Anniversary Collection" is een beetje een rare verzameling. "Muppet Show Theme" en "Mahna Mahna" zijn overbekend. Het hectische "There's a New Sound" is grappig en opwindend. En ik blijf mij er over verbazen hoe een groen washandje en twee pingpongballetjes zo ontroerend kunnen klinken als in Kermit's zelfbespiegelende "(It's not easy) Bein' Green,"
Tussendoor krijg je ook een onzinnige monoloog van Fozzie en de scherpe opmerkingen van Statler & Waldorf. Heerlijk...

Maar de rest van de CD zijn 4 liedjes uit The Muppet Movie; drie uit The Great Muppet Caper; drie uit The Muppets Take Manhattan; eentje uit respectievelijk The Muppet Christmas Carol, Muppet Treasure Island, en Muppets From Space.
En die nummers zijn minder scherp, minder grappig en minder overtuigend. De humor ontbreekt grotendeels en de liedjes zijn niet meer dan een muzikale ondersteuning van de filmscenes. Ze hebben niet dezelfde impact, niet dezelfde energie en niet dezelfde passie als die in de TV-show.
Beter zou geweest zijn om er twee CD's van te maken. Een met beresterke Muppet Show-fragmenten, en een met filmmuziek.

Maar wat zeur ik nu toch?... dit is een album dat 27 nummers lang een glimlach op je gezicht tovert. Waar heb je dat ooit meegemaakt?
