I almost wished we could have done them even closer to the original. We didn't sing our own songs in the early days—they weren't good enough.
John Lennon, on the prevalence of covers in the early career of The Beatles

Stop me if you’ve heard this before, crazy bitch of all crazy bitches Courtney Love is freaking out over absolutely nothing again. The Muppets do a cover of 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' in their newest movie and they paid for that shit as well as getting permission from Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic. But the flaming hobo trash can in Courtney’s head has sparked out the idea that The Muppets have 'raped' the memory of Kurt Cobain by bastardizing one of his songs without getting her permission... Courtney better watch it. The Muppets are highly trained detectives and I doubt she wants them sniffing into the mysterious death of Kurt Cobain. If Courtney truly cares about crimes against Nirvanity, she’d watch last night’s The Voice. Two 'hyena in heat' impersonators dragged 'Heart-Shaped Box' out into the alley and slowly strangled the life out of it with the ropes of shit that came out of their mouths. Call the WAHMBULANCE on that, Court!
Michael K., “It’s Time To Play The Music, It’s Time To Rape Kurt C”

Dale: Hey, do you think we can get, like, a pop star to do the theme song?
Chip: Yeah, right. Like a super serious version, even though everyone just wants to hear the original?
Dale: Yes! That exactly.
