Contents 1 Overview 2 Track listing 2.1 Personnel 2.2 Charts 3 Muppets Most Wanted : Original Score 4 References 5 External links Overview In November 2012, it was announced that Bret McKenzie would be returning to write songs for Muppets Most Wanted following the success of its 2011 predecessor, The Muppets. As opposed to the previous film, McKenzie wrote all of the original songs for Muppets Most Wanted ; his songwriting influences for the film include the Sherman Brothers, Irving Berlin, Paul Williams, and Harry Nilsson. With song ideas originating from short descriptions in the film 's screenplay, McKenzie developed numerous songs and performed demo versions of each by doing impressions of various Muppets. `` I 'm usually just on piano, with me singing and doing my now quite extensive catalog of Muppet impressions, '' said McKenzie. `` I play a rough version then we get together and work out the best. James ( Bobin ) often has an idea that 's visual that he needs to change the lyric to suit the visual and then we record it with the Muppets. '' A music video of McKenzie performing `` I 'll Get You What You Want ( Cockatoo in Malibu ) '' was released on March 19, 2014 on Funny or Die.
