Ok. I know this went viral the other day, so half of you have probably already seen it. And it really has nothing to do with this blog. I could try to say something profound about the juxtaposition of much loved children's educational programming characters with a darkly absurd, nihilist sensibility of post-millenial blah blah blah.
But basically, it's just awesome. It will sap any desire you have to carry on, while putting it all back again at the same time.
Please, as they say, to enjoy...
On the other hand, I know some readers don't much care for vidshizzles or lip-dubs, so here's the duck again.
I liked the hotties from Alabama better. I didn't make it all the way through the Cookie Monster clip. Are there hotties in the second half that would make it worth my time?
I think it's that the Cookie Monster's mouth movements fit the spirit of the song; i.e. a shambling, obsessive wreck singing about how society is going into the crapper. Waits looks like a man who loves booze too much, and we know the Cookie Monster loves his primary food source waaay too much, so it is a good fit.
Beaker Ben, there are no hotties as such in this video; it's just Shanghaied video of Muppets dancing while Tom Waits sings a Brechtian dirge. You want hot people on the intertubez, check out:
Got some crack, got some crack, got some crack on Christmas!

ReplyDeleteWell, at 2:47, the 'Yip-yip' martians lift up their fur and flash the camera. Does that count?
