Money Tune Tuesday: Money Song

I don’t know that I’ve adequately expressed just how excited I am that The Muppets are going to be back in movie theaters tomorrow. I have been a huge fan of The Muppets for pretty much my entire life and when I found out, almost 3 years ago, that there was going to be a new Muppets movie, I almost threw up with excitement. I actually published an article about my excitement on my essentially defunct Examiner parenting column (publish date: January 27, 2009). I wish my vocabulary was expansive enough to express how excited I am for tomorrow.

I have actually taken the day off of work tomorrow not to prepare for Thanksgiving but to take my daughter to see The Muppets (OK, fine. She’s taking me). I don’t care how much it costs. I don’t care how long of a line I need to wait in (make no mistake, there will be no line. I will get there 4 hours early if I have to. Which I’m hoping I won’t because most normal people will still be at work and/or school). I have been antsy with anticipation since the first trailer aired a couple of months ago. Yeah, it’s that bad.

For today’s money tune, I wanted to feature The Muppets. With so many good videos and songs, it was so hard to pick. But then, as if Jim Henson himself intervened, I found a song, sung by Dr. Teeth (the leader of Electric Mayhem. You know, the Muppets house band…the band Animal is the drummer in), entitled “Money Song”. Could this have worked out any better?
