In my post on The Muppet Christmas Carol, I mentioned some Muppet
CDs that are currently available.  I said I would post a list
of songs from the five CDs I recently purchased.  So here they
are.  For those reading this in alt.tv.dinosaurs, this includes
the new Dinosaurs CD, which BTW contains a poster with the lyrics
to all the songs, so don't bother transcribing from tapes of the
show, much easier to get the album and type the lyrics in.

There were some other CDs of muppet stuff, like the soundtrack to
The Muppet Movie, but these have been out of print for some time.
I don't have these, so they are not included here.  Also, there
are a couple Sesame Street CDs that I do not have yet, so I won't
list those songs.  These albums are "Bob McGrath's Favorite Street
Songs," and "Sesame Street In Harmony" or something like that.

The CDs I am listing are the Dinosaurs: "Big Songs", two Sesame
Street Albums: "Sing: Songs of Joe Raposo" and "Jim Henson: A
Sesame Street Celebration", the Muppets/John Denver Chirstmas
Songs, and the new soundtrack to the soon to be released movie
"The Muppets Christmas Carol".

I've been buying these CDs for two reasons.  First, I missed out
on the soundtrack to "The Muppet Movie", and a couple other muppet
soundtracks, and I don't want to let these slip away.  Second,
by purchasing them, I am making a (small) statement that there is
a market for this stuff on CD.  So, I encourage the rest of you
to buy some of these albums, and maybe we'll see some reprintings
of the older stuff on CD.

Also, the Golden Music company produces the Sesame Street albums,
and they have a lot more on casette.  I called them to get a catalog
of what they have, in case there are some more CDs out there that
just aren't showing up in stores.  BTW, I found the two Sesame Street
and the Dinosaurs albums in a Best Buy store.

So, here are the songs:
