About
Bret McKenzie’s improbable career has gone from New Zealand to Hollywood, and from obscure Kiwi musician/comic to GRAMMY® winner, cable star, and Emmy nominee via his duo (and their TV show) Flight of the Conchords. But it took 2011’s <i>The Muppets</i> to score McKenzie an Oscar (for the song “Man or Muppet”). He admits the added pressure on this follow-up soundtrack only inspired him to lampoon the whole process from the outset, via the Tony Bennett/Lady Gaga/Ricky Gervais–studded “We’re Doing a Sequel.” “It lets the audience know that, first of all, it’s a sequel,” he says with a chuckle. Typically undaunted, Conchords cohort Jemaine Clement makes a cameo: a faithfully loopy cover of Allen Toussaint’s “Working in a Coal Mine.” Another Bret favorite is his Miss Piggy–wooing “I’ll Get You What You Want (Cockatoo in Malibu),” which McKenzie says “kinda comes out of left field and a genre that I really love: that early-’80s Lionel Richie/Michael McDonald/Doobie Brothers sound. It was kind of fun to make a Russian frog sing as Michael might sing.”
