- Man or Muppet is a song written for the movie The Muppets by Brit McKenzie from the comedic music duo Flight of the Chonchords. It is sung by Walter and Jason Segel.
- During the song Walter sees himself in human form, while Gary sees a Muppet version of himself. The four complete the song together. Songwriter Bret McKenzie discussed the process at length in a New York Times blog interview: In 2012, Bret McKenzie was honored with an Academy Award for "Best Original Song" (albeit with only one other nominee in the category). "Man or Muppet" marked the first Oscar win for any Muppet production. Jim James of My Morning Jacket had written a demo of the song, but it was deemed "incredibly mellow" and was rejected by the producers.
- "Man or Muppet" is a song from The Muppets. It is sung by the two protagonists, Gary (in both his human and Muppet forms) and Walter (in both his Muppet and human forms [Played by Jim Parsons]), about their decisions of whether they are (very manly) Muppets or (Muppets of) men. This occurs after Mary dumps Gary for being too loyal to Walter.

| - During the song Walter sees himself in human form, while Gary sees a Muppet version of himself. The four complete the song together. Songwriter Bret McKenzie discussed the process at length in a New York Times blog interview: “I was channeling power ballads — Harry Nilsson, “Without You” — [singing] “I can’t liiive, if living is without yoooou.” And Eric Carmen, “All by Myself” — [singing] ‘I don’t want to live, alllll by myself.’ Those are two of my favorites. I knew this had to be an incredibly dramatic song. It’s one of those, the more serious the song is, the funnier it would be. I just wanted to make it as epic and dramatic as possible. That’s why the chorus is just these relentless long notes at the top of Jason Segel’s range. There’s something about guys singing at the top of their range, it’s really emotionally desperate.” In 2012, Bret McKenzie was honored with an Academy Award for "Best Original Song" (albeit with only one other nominee in the category). "Man or Muppet" marked the first Oscar win for any Muppet production. Jim James of My Morning Jacket had written a demo of the song, but it was deemed "incredibly mellow" and was rejected by the producers.

It was nominated the Academy Award for Best Original Song on January 24, 2012, making it the third song from a Muppet film to hold that position (the first two being "The Rainbow Connection" from The Muppet Movie and "The First Time It Happens" from The Great Muppet Caper) and won it on February 26, 2012 (being the first song from a Muppet film to hold that position).
