Kermit Unpigged is a comedy album released by The Jim Henson Company through BMG Kidz in 1994, and the last album released by Jim Henson Records. The record's title is a parody of the MTV series MTV Unplugged, and the cover is a parody of Eric Clapton's Unplugged album cover as well. The album consists of Kermit the Frog and the other Muppets getting lost at a recording studio and encountering celebrities including Linda Ronstadt, with whom Kermit sings " All I Have to Do Is Dream", Vince Gill who sings " Daydream" with Kermit, Jimmy Buffett who sings " Mr. Spaceman" with Gonzo, and Ozzy Osbourne with whom Miss Piggy sings " Born to Be Wild". The album ends with the Muppets meeting back up and singing the Beatles song " All Together Now". Comedian Lily Tomlin also makes appearances as her character Ernestine.

The album reached #20 on Billboard's Top Kid Audio chart.
