The Muppets Do Hip Hop

When you think of the Muppets — from skinny-legged Kermit to the furry Fozzie — do you think hip hop?

Well, at least one person (and, possibly, a feline) does. Using the moniker, Mylo The Cat, a young man has culled several old television clips from The Muppet Show and mashed them together to make hilarious music videos. The latest viral hit is Naughty By Nature’s “Hip Hop Hooray” and we were impressed with how well the video syncs the speed of the rap lyrics with shots of the Muppets talking. Mylo The Cat also has created music videos with the Muppets using the Beastie Boy’s “So What’cha Want,” House of Pain’s “Jump Around” and Dre and Snoop’s “Deep Cover,” which can all be seen on Mylo’s YouTube page.

In an interview with the Bubble Blabber blog, Mylo The Cat (now called isthishowyougoviral) admitted that making these videos is not easy.

“This latest video took around 12 hours of editing time, but I spent months looking for the right song, and also for the right clips to use,” he says. “The process of making the Muppets videos is pretty awful actually. I do love doing it, but it’s the most tedious thing in the world, so patience is absolutely key.”
