The 14,000th Cover of an Immortal Song

The Muppets strike again with their latest viral music vid:

I don't think this one is quite as funny as that insane version of "Bohemian Rhapsody" or the Beaker video I posted a while back, but it's a welcome throwback to the violent, early incarnation of the Muppets that was seen on The Tonight Show and Saturday Night Live, among others, before they were domesticated (i.e., sanitized) and came to be thought of as kids-only fare. As I've said before, I think Jim Henson would be tickled by these new virals that are working so hard to recapture the wild, subversive energy his creations used to have. I know I am.

Have I mentioned, incidentally, that "Stand by Me" is one of my all-time favorite songs?

What is there to be said beyond "fabulous?"
