This Sesame Street mashup is a perfect tribute to A Tribe Called Quest

Mylo The Cat isn’t the only mashup artist who’s discovered that the denizens of Sesame Street align amazingly well with vintage hip-hop tunes. YouTuber Spunnywigg has very quietly created a bunch of clever voice sync vids throwing it back to the old school, both song- and character-wise. There’s the early ’70s-era detective Sherlock Hemlock lip-syncing to Kool G Rap’s “Poison,” for example, and Ernie and the slightly seedy Lefty the Salesman tackling the Digital Underground’s “Sex Packets.” On the Muppets tip, perhaps the most inspired clip is Miss Piggy’s uber-’80s, aerobics-themed “Snackcercise” lip-synced to Queen Latifah’s “The Hook.”
