  11. Emmet Otter Bloopers: Turn any belly into a bowl full of jelly

    Happy holidays, you guys! Today is Festivus, Christmas and Kwanzaa are almost here, and we're smack dab in the middle of Hanukkah. We all have our own holiday traditions, and the work of Jim Henson has been a big part of this time of year for me for many, many years. The Muppet Christmas Carol and Christmas Eve on Sesame Street have been Christmas week viewing staples in my house year after year. For some reason, I was left off the Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas bandwagon as a kid, and while I think it might have to do with the fact that it came out in the late 1970s and I didn't exist yet. But Christmas Eve on Sesame Street was also a late 1970s production, so I don't know what to tell ya.

  12. The Contenders: It's easy being Bret McKenzie

    Bret McKenzie is the music supervisor and primary songwriter for &quot;The Muppets," and his biggest competition for award consideration may just be himself. He has at least three compositions from the film being touted by those who track such things: gleeful production number "Life's a Happy Song," disco anthem "Me Party" and existential '80s-ish power ballad "Man or Muppet." Sporting a comfy-looking green hoodie and unruly hair and beard &#8212; exacerbated by early-morning dad duties &#8212; the affable "Flight of the Conchords" musical comic discussed marrying his adult and meta sensibility with the Muppets via video chat from his home in New Zealand.
