the John Denver/Muppets Christmas special is one of the weirder mixes of melancholy and earnest you'll ever see, with occasional bits of "oh right you're watching the Muppets" to right the ship before it gets sad again. And you can listen to me talk about it/the sinister forces bankrolling it here!

I was thinking about this the other day myself. I know it all started as a bit of a larf for the two but Iโm kinda fascinated by the restraint or whatever the hell it was to never really capitalize on this project, even in the moment. Banger track to this day though.
