Ok, in blog years, this might be ancient, it started making the rounds yesterday afternoon and we never had a chance to see it until late last night, but the Muppets doing Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody”? We thought, “sure, this could be fun” and set it aside, but it’s joyous, celebratory genius. Something good to watch before you jet off for Thanksgiving. We seriously grinned ear to ear watching this clip (the lighting is also soo perfect). Oh and lastly the best Muppets of all time? Predictable answer coming from us, but yes, it’s always been Statler and Waldorf.

Ok, honestly did not have (or do not have the time to do the research) so hopefully someone can answer: Is this old or new? (new I assume because of the Apple computer at the end, unless it was edited/updated)
Feels new, but Jim Henson died in 1990. Is it his son who does the voices now (if I recall correctly?) Cause man whoever does, does them spot-on (though I don't remember that being the case right afterwards and i couldn't watch anything Muppet related cause i thought the voices were off — same thing happened to me with Loony Tunes after Mel Blanc died, i just couldn't go near anything that he didn't voice).
I've always loved the Muppets…Animal cracks me up every time.
This is brand new, uploaded Monday.
Who cares if its old or new the muppets never go out of style.
