Has Paul Williams written any formidable songs since TMM?

Search: "...a bear in his natural habitat...a Studebaker"
Search: "What color are their hands now?"
Search: The scene in the show hosted by Rich Little where Gonzo's chickens, strewn across a lovely gazebo, sang Chanson D'Amour and each time they got to "Ra-ta-ta-ta-tah" Crazy Harry would come out and blow one of them up. Exploding French Chickens, the very essence of comedy.
God I miss the Muppet Show.

If you watch the somewhat annoying intros by Jim H's son Brian, he keeps on telling the same kind of story over and over again- "Elton didn't want to put on the feathers and the funny glasses, he had been changing his image, but somehow the Muppets had their way." 95% of the time you feel like "Dude, that was on the ACTUAL SHOW!"

I think he just walks through the set. It's been a while, but I remember Rolf playing the opening vamp of "Singin in the Rain" over and over, and Gene launching into other songs that begin with the same vamp, until Rolf gives up.

Too much hate for Muppets from Space upthread! The new characters really make it. Pepe the Prawn: "I got this jello, nnkay?" and Bobo the Bear: "Baby steps sir, baaaaaabsy steps" are both GREAT.
Take Manhattan is better than people seem to think too. Some very good and sweet songs. And kermit with amnesia, becoming Phillip Phil! Watch it again.
Christmas Carol is probbaly my favourite actually, but I'm a sucker for christmas films, and for Michael Caine, so I might be wrong about it.

As for movies, it's hard to beat the first one. The appearance of Paul Williams is a highlight as is the great scene with Orson Welles "draw up the standard Rich and Famous contract!"
