Are You a Man, or a Muppet? Official Music Video Premieres

As if the The Muppets wasn't already a throwback to an earlier generation, here's another blast from the past: a music video.  Remember those?

Hoping to score some Oscar love for the new Muppet songs written by Flight of the Conchords' Bret McKenzie (and hopefully even a big Muppet production number on the upcoming Oscar telecast), the gang has put together an official music video for "Man or Muppet", from the scene where Jason Segel's Gary and Walter's...Walter are going through a bit of an identity crisis.

It's basically the same scene as it plays out in the movie, with a few additional clips tossed in, but it's a great song and a pretty funny scene from the movie, along with the obligatory celebrity cameo.

You can check it out below:

I love that song, although my vote is still with the "Life's a Happy Song" finale number come awards time, should the nominations come their way. 

The Muppets is in theaters now.  By the way, if you're a fan of the "Mahna Mahna" song from the movie's end credits...or if you've just still got it stuck in your head, you can immortalize your Mahna Mahna-love by uploading your own Mahna Mahna to (and yes, this is real), the official Neverending Mahna Mahna video that's ongoing on the Muppets official site.  You can get the details here:

All I can say about that is...Mahna Mahna!
