Just so i know if this is worth spending money on...is this done by the Muppet performers or are the MTI songs "cover" versions?
If you read the blog post, these are covers sung by the "Pirates of the Black Tide" singing ensemble in a backing "pirate orchestra".
I don't think it's worth it, but that's just me.
