This is just too good not to share early. I think the Muppets just pwned Wayne and Garth. Happy Turkey Day, all!

As I said on Facebook, it's the Bobo/Beaker bit that's killing me.
Oh man. What's the name of the guy and the chimp? Clyde, maybe? Is one of them Clyde?
I REMEMBER: Johnny Fiama and Sal Minella!
Two things that are terrific about this, besides the fact that it's the Muppets, and the Muppets are always terrific:
1) Jim Henson would love this. It's smart and it's silly.
2) This isn't just a foolish cover. There's actually fucking character here. A lot of it. Animal behaves and sings just like Animal would be have and sing. Etc. As a devoted fan of The Muppet Show (Season 4 needs to hurry up and get its DVD release), I'm still adjusting to the more modern nipped-and-tucked faces on Statler and Waldorf, Dr. Teeth, etc. But the Muppets still feel like home.
Now that I've given this way too much thought, back to starting my Thanksgiving weekend.
This reminds me: I remember Abc's MUPPETS TONIGHT program being pretty good. Wonder if it holds up...
