Happy Birthday, America!

It's the 4th of July, everyone! For us red-white-and-blue blooded Americans today celebrates the day our nation was founded--its birthday, if you will. Yes, we're wishing the happiest of birthdays to America... land of the free, home of apple pies and baseball, area where we can't legally sing the "Happy Birthday" song to our country without paying a massive fine.

Yes, patriotism swells in the heart of the American Muppet fan... and so, enjoy a few of our favorite America-themed Muppet clips and pretend you didn't see this coming:

Happy Valentine's Day, Muppet Fans!

Greetings, Muppet fans! It's February 14th... known in some circles as Valentine's Day, known in others as Singles Awareness Day. Whichever your preference, we hope your celebrating well and luckily we've got a little something for both!

First, for the requited lovers (Or is it unrequited lovers? Never knew what it meant anyhow...), we've got a classic duet of "When I Grow Too Old to Dream" between Linda Ronstadt and Kermit from The Muppet Show... Love on, lovers! May your Valentine's Day be wonderful!



And for everyone else... spending this day single and angry at past loves, we have last night's performance with Cee-Lo Green, Gwyneth Paltrow, and The Jim Henson Company puppets singing Cee-Lo's hit song "Forget You" (otherwise known by a title that we probably shouldn't type in polite blogging). I don't know about anyone else... but this song speaks my exact feelings towards my ex-girlfriend today!



And for all of us... Elmo singing about how he loves us! And, really, what more could you want?



Special thanks to our friends over at ToughPigs.com for the Cee-Lo video!

The Holiday Season Begins on The Muppet Mindset!

Greetings, Muppet fans! Guess what? It's December. I know! I can't believe it either! But you know what that means... it's time for The Muppet Mindset to get into the holiday spirit! I know I've already pulled out my Santa Swedish Chef action figure and my Kermit Claus statue (yes, that is the extent of decorating I do). So it's time to put on the final touches--an annual Christmas tradition (since last year), 'round these parts, a brand new holiday header designed by the one and only Dave Hulteen, Jr.! If you're reading this post in December, you see the header already! If not, here it is:

I absolutely love it. It's so simple, so classic, so wonderful. It's absolutely perfect, and I can't thank Dave enough for drawing it for us. It's the perfect way to highlight the holiday season here on The Muppet Mindset and I'm proud to feature it at the top of the site for the rest of the month!

Happy Holidays, Muppet fans! Let's start off the Christmas music, shall we? I'll be John Denver, you guys chime in as the Muppets... On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me, a partridge in a pear tree...
