Beatles covers from the Muppet Show

Here's Saturday Morning Central's roundup of Beatles covers from the Muppet Show, including a surprisingly sensitive version of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" and the Sesame Street "Letter B" (Let it Be) cover.

Classic! Love the dog accompaniment. Can't think of how many times I've looked up old Muppet skits on YouTube.

My first time on Boing Boing. Sniff sniff. I told myself I wasn't going to cry.

Thanks!

Stones Muppetized (Mick n' Keef anyways), to the delight of all:

Years ago, pre-Muppet Show, maybe even on Ed Sullivan, they did a hilarious 'Come Together' - where the muppet kept falling apart.

The "Black Bird" cover is brilliant. I've watched it 3 times today.

Muppets and music are always a good combination.

Kermit: Wow! You're really good.
Clifford: Thanks. I worked with a purple dinosaur.
Kermit: Barney?
Clifford: No, Prince.

Sesame Street's where I first heard "Yellow Submarine" ("Yellow Strawberine")! However, although I enjoyed (and continue to enjoy) the movies "Yellow Submarine" and "Help!", I never became a Beatles fan. Consequently, I never heard "Ob-la-di" until AFTER I'd studied Latin in high school --- and I can't hear it without thinking I should be running that refrain through some declensions:
Nom: Ob-la-di
Gen: Ob-la-da
Dat: Ob-la-dorum
Acc: Ob-la-dam
Abl: Ob-la-da
Voc: Ob-la-dat
