I once had MP3s of every song from The Muppet Show...

September 9, 2015 4:21 AM

Many years ago, there was a blog (now long gone) about children's music, and the owner posted MP3s of every single song played on The Muppet Show, obviously ripped from video of the show itself. They were stored on some file storage site that no longer exists, and were available for download in ZIP files, sorted by season. I once had these files, but cruel time and hard drive failures have stolen them from me. Help me restore my collection of Muppet music!

One album
Another album
Last album

Response by poster: I've got all the tracks from the official albums, including some that were only released on vinyl. The MP3s I'm looking for were made by someone who painstakingly went through every episode and clipped out the musical numbers.

Here's the Muppet Show Songs category on the Muppet wikia, which includes 623 pages. This is a playlist of 151 clips, and here's a freeware program (with opt-out add-ons) that allows you to save a list of MP3s from a YouTube playlist.
