Kermit Unpigged

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kermit Unpigged was a music and comedy record released by The Jim Henson Company through BMG Kidz in 1995, and is the last album released by Jim Henson Records. The record’s title is a clear parody of the MTV series “unplugged.” The album consisted of Kermit and the other Muppets getting lost at a recording studio and encountering celebrities including Linda Ronstadt, with whom Kermit sang “All I Have to Do is Dream”, Vince Gill who sang “Daydream” with Kermit, Jimmy Buffett who sang “Mr. Spaceman” with Gonzo, and Ozzy Osborne with whom Miss Piggy sang “Born to be Wild.” The album ends with all The Muppets meeting back up and singing the Beatles song “All Together Now.”

The album received positive reviews from many critics and was a big hit with kids. The album reached #20 on Billboard's Top Kid Audio chart.
