Sesame Street/Beastie Boys mashup

This Sesame Street/Beastie Boys "Sure Shot" mashup does some very clever stuff with fast and slow framerates that makes the puppets appear to be perfect lipsynchers. It's virtuoso editing and a demonstration of the puppet's natural place in mashups.

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

I agree with Cory about the lip sync, not perfect.

These folks got it better, and used the Muppet show!

I did something totally similar using Intergalactic and the cartoon series from the 80′s M.A.S.K.

Unfortunately, EMI won’t allow you to play it in the U.S. I guess it may still play in other countries like the UK.

any wizardry they may have had is ruined on the web. Errm…this is what the Beastie Boys do. I’ve been a fans since they started…and I’d be happy for anything good, but on the interwebs, doesn’t come through.

I don’t know… in the Sesame Street rap genre, it’s awfully hard to beat:

Man, this is so solid I think it may have its own gravity.

Tight, but I do have a quibble with the summary.

If they were really “perfect” lip-synchers, they wouldn’t appear to be lip-synching, they would appear to be singing. :)

Also good in poops…

Poor Bert (:57).

How can you tell the difference between a drummer for a rock band and a drummer for an orchestra or marching band? The latter know what practice pads are.
