What’s better than the pinnacle of childhood entertainment performing a song found on an album that contains a parental advisory sticker? Absolutely nothing, that’s what.
Jim Henson’s gang is?returning to network television this fall, but before we all collectively seize in anticipation, watch Dr. Teeth channel his inner gangsta. The video, put together by Adam Schleichkorn, shows the Electric Mayhem front man paying homage to one of the founding members of 90’s rap group Wu-Tang Clan, Ol’ Dirty Bastard.

This video is what abusing the replay button means.
The video is currently trending on social media, having generated over 100,000 views in less than a day, and the response has been positive. From The A.V. Club:
“Dr. Teeth subs in perfectly for Ol? Dirty Bastard in this mashup of ‘Shimmy Shimmy Ya.’ Clearly Dr. Teeth has swagger for days and is just the outrageous personality that can do justice to the legacy of Big Baby Jesus. Finally, a video that confirms that the leader of the Electric Mayhem band does, indeed, like it raw.”
Last month, ABC announced its schedule for the 2015-16 season, slating “The Muppets” revival on Tuesday nights in the coveted 8:00 pm EST timeslot, preceding the second season of “Fresh Off the Boat” and “Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” A trailer for the new show can be found here.
I just hope it fares better than “Muppets Tonight.”
