Equivalent song exchange

Merry December, fellow Tropeians! Remember how we mentioned October is a good month for us? November tends to be a bad month. But then--alas! December is a good month again.  We will try to post more than we did during October, but it might have to wait until next week. On to my super-short post.
There are two songs that have been swimming around in my head (often escaping through humming) for the past week. They've been battling it out up there, and I'm not sure who's going to win.

1. "Man Or Muppet"--Because The Muppets Movie was awesome. If you saw the movie and didn't like it, you have no heart. I never cry at movies, and I didn't cry with The Muppets, but I did almost tear up a little when I saw Mickey Rooney singing and dancing to "Life's A Happy Song" (another great song. it's got my vote for best original song oscar [not that my vote counts]). Man Or Muppet is less heartfelt and more hilarious.  Flight of the Conchords' Bret McKenzie's influence (whoa, sorry for those awkward possessives) is obvious with the absurdity of the song.

2. "Again" by Yui AKA the first opening for Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood--This opening is just beautiful. I love the animation and the song is pretty and catchy. It's a shame I can't actually sing along. But I wonder if it sounds even prettier because I don't understand the words and they're just nice sounds to me.  It's kind of a nice mystery.  As good as this intro is, though, I can't help but laugh every time around 0:50.  Why put Winry there at all? Nothing's actually happened to her. Oh no, wait, her legs became rubbery for a few seconds. Trauma.

Well, this muppet of a woman is out. We'll talk again in a week or so.
