The Muppet Show 2 is the second music album made for the super popular TV show. It's a "soundtrack" album, which means it's filled with songs and funny moments (called sketches) directly from the show. Just like the first album, this one has lots of Muppet fun. Plus, it features special guest stars like Bernadette Peters and Peter Sellers!

The album ends with a funny sketch. Kermit the Frog thinks everyone has left the theater and locks up. He and Miss Piggy head out for dinner. But wait! After about 30 seconds, it turns out Fozzie Bear was left behind in the dark theater. You can hear him calling out "Help!" over and over again. On the original record, this part would actually repeat forever until you lifted the needle!
