Before The Day Gets Too Hectic, Watch The Muppets Cover ODB (VIDEO)


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.”

Robert could go on about how he was raised by honey badgers in the Texas Hill Country, or how he was elected to the Texas state legislature as a 19-year-old wunderkind, or how he won 219 consecutive games of Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots against Hugh Grant, but those would be lies. However, Robert does hail from Lewisville, Texas, having been transplanted from Fort Worth at a young age. Robert is a college student and focuses his studies on philosophical dilemmas involving morality, which he feels makes him very qualified to write about politicians. Reading the Bible turned Robert into an atheist, a combative disposition toward greed turned him into a humanist, and the fact he has not lost a game of Madden football in over a decade means you can call him "Zeus." If you would like to be his friend, you can send him a Facebook request or follow his ramblings on Twitter.
