Earlier this week, the person behind the Internet sensation Mylo the Cat switched up his usual shenanigans with the furry feline and instead made a video mashup of the Muppets' Swedish Chef, Animal, and Beaker covering the Beastie Boys' 1992 record "So What'cha Want." The 60-second clip went viral, because what's more awesome than combining nostalgic characters from our childhood with one of the greatest rap groups of all time? Nothing. Nothing is more awesome.
It turns out other people have been doing these rap mashups with Jim Henson's creations for years now, using characters from The Muppet Show, Sesame Street, and even the often forgotten British/Canadian series Fraggle Rock. And this means exactly what you'd think: Comedic gold.
