Something I have been itching for lately is a new Muppet Movie, and while one is some Muppet fun is on its way and now this tribute to Queen is out and its made of awesome.
Queen is releasing a new album and this tribute video was made to celebrate its release. And I am excited about a new Queen release, but this just makes me want to see more Muppets.

Mine involves Animal,Ms.Piggy,one of Gonzos ladie chickens, and that fat-lipped chick from Dr. Tooths’ band.
I’d love a new Muppets movie. Not something like The Muppets Go to Hell. Just, The Muppets.
Not enough interest I guess SHAME. somehow I think this generation of kids would benefit from a Muppets T.V. show in the mix of all the other stuff their spoon fed now-a-days.
just sayin’
That was great! I still enjoy the muppets =)
they need to do the T.V. show again
They did try to revive the TV show.
There was Muppets Tonight that only lasted 2 seasons. It was set in a TV studio variety show format instead of the old style theater of the original. Statler and Waldorf(The old guys from the balcony) were watching it on TV now from their nursing home, still heckling them.
Statler and Waldorf also had a webseries called Statler and Waldorf: From the Balcony.
They considered another revival capturing the reality TV craze called Americas Top Muppet or something like that but I think the idea died off.
Muppets Rock!
Loved it. Great video.
Best part = singing bananas.
Man I miss the muppets… *goes and watches Muppet Treasure Island”
uhhhhhh….. I was under the impression that Freddy Mrcury died like 20 years ago. So no there will not be a new Queen album, there may be a new Brian May and co. album, but it sure as fuck isn’t a Queen album.
Mercury might have been the lead singer, but there is a reason it wasn’t called Freddy Mercury and Queen.
Its a band. Its not Freddy.
I look forward to seeing what they have coming out.
Aaaaand that is why this is the movie blog and not the music blog.
Sure it wasn’t called “Freddy Mercury and Queen” but when he was alive they were one of the biggest bands in the world. After he died…. not so much. Freddy and his distinctive voice WERE the band.

It wasn’t “Kurt Cobain featuring Nirvana” either but the band could still never be the same without him. The lead singer is a band, change the lead and you change the sound which changes the music. Granted sometimes that can work out just fine (AC/DC comes to mind) but other times it just does not work.
With many other bands you’d have a point Rodney, with Queen, not so much. Freddy was just too unique, nobody before or since has been able to touch those vocals. Queen died with Freddy.
What Marty said.
“Queen died with Freddy.”
Agreed.
Yeah I feel the same McBain, its not even John Deacon on bass anymore. Its only half of Queen really since they were all equally prolific writers of the material. They are using it as a brand a little. The reason it wasnt ‘Freddy Mercury and Queen’ is because he was a quarter of queen himself, no distinction required. I dont mind new material though, but form a new supergroup with a new name is a better idea IMO.
Isnt the new album a Greatest Hits? They did new material with Paul Rogers about a year ago.
