​See 'Sesame Street' Characters Star in a Remake of the Beastie Boys' "Sabotage" Video

Here's hoping Big Bird drops 'Bill Communication' soon

Beastie Boys unleashed "Sabotage" back in 1994, delivering one of the decade's most memorable music videos. Now, 23 years later, the Spike Jonze-directed '70s crime parody has been treated to a spoof of its own.
 
A new mash-up finds Sesame Street's beloved Big Bird stepping into the Beasties' shoes and fleeing the scene in dramatic fashion.
 
The excellently edited piece uses existing footage from the long-running children's show set to the classic Ill Communication cut, and was created by mash-up artist and YouTube user Adam Schleichkorn (a.k.a. Mylo the Cat).

"The original 'Sabotage' music video is without a doubt, one of the greatest of all time, so I knew I couldn't do a regular old lip sync video," he says in the video's description. "I had to bring it."

Schleichkorn also includes a shout-out to the late Adam Yauch — so you could say the video is brought to us by the letters M, C and A.
