My affection for this song is due entirely to the following video, a masterpiece of editing if nothing else.  Apologies for the language.  Don't let it distract from the awesome.

    1. It is truly beautiful, and so clearly a labor of love for both the show and the music. Someone invested A LOT of time on that video and it is darn near perfect.

      I like that Grover gets so much love, too. If I have a favorite SS Muppet, it's Grover.

  2. Love this. I forgot how much I like the Beastie Boys. And the Sesame Street gang! Grover is pretty awesome :)

    1. Historically, the Beastie Boys are important. For all of the wrong reasons, they are the Elvis of hip-hop.
