Call Me (Cookie Monster) Maybe (video)

Cookie Monster from Sesame Street spoofs Carly Rae Jepsen's hit pop song "Call Me Maybe." [Video Link]

  This reminds me of the best Occupy Sesame Street tweet: Why are 99% of the cookies consumed by 1% of the monsters?

  This brought me so much joy, I decided to make my first comment on any blog ever.

  As a parent of a kid who just reached Sesame Street age I’ve been watching for the first time in 25 years. While I think Grover was my favorite as a kid, Cookie Monster is clearly the thinking/older person’s Muppet.

  So Awesome. I am sitting in a Starbucks crying I am laughing so hard, not embarrassed at all.

  Man, how do all those thin people eat cookies and stay so thin?! 

  I did notice the plate of fruit in the meeting and that the cookies seemed untouched. I guess they were just tormenting Cookie Monster by carrying around a bowl of cookies, just out of his reach, and not even eating any.

    A cookie is a sometimes food.

• [mzed]

  Oh yes.

• [Brian Whittle]

  when did the cookie monster get 2 hands?

• [dioptase]

  Please, will someone single use “You got cookie, baby!” as a pick up line?  

• [Maggie Koerth-Baker]

  It no “If Moon Were Cookie”, but me can get behind it.

  I’ve never actually heard the original. I guess when you get to be a certain age, you don’t get exposed to pop music unless it is being sung on Glee.

    I was aware of it somehow, but hadn’t heart it either; here’s the video but Cookie Monster’s is better IMO.

  For those that haven’t seen it, this also parodies a cover of the song when the singer was on Jimmy Fallon’s show.

  I still don’t really like the song much, but seeing the Roots do it like this made it a bit more tolerable.
