A fan-made video of The Muppets rapping Beastie Boys’ “What’cha Want” has gone viral as a well-deserved pick-me-up.

The Swedish Chef, Animal, Beaker Rap Beastie Boys

The video stars Animal, the Swedish Chef and Beaker, all wearing white turtlenecks and green berets, edited to look like they are rapping the lyrics of Beastie Boys’ 1992 classic.

The funny video, barely a minute long, was released on Tuesday, Aug. 12. The footage, put together by Mylo the Cat, was originally from The Muppets’ performing “Danny Boy,” an Irish classic. Mylo the Cat dedicated the video to Adam Yauch of the Beastie Boys, who died in 2012.

Mylo the Cat has produced other Muppets mash-ups, including Fozzie Bear singing Bob Marley’s “Iron Lion Zion” and Miss Piggy singing Miley Cyrus' “Wrecking Ball.”
