The Roots were joined by the all-star cast of Sesame Street on Wednesday night’s Fallon, as they teamed up to perform the show’s theme song in celebration of its 44th season.
Counted in by The Count, naturally, the host and his house band provided percussion in the form of Casio keyboards, ukuleles and kazoos. Black Thought, meanwhile, contributed a rap rhyming ‘Snuffleup’ with ‘hustle up’ and bragging about his report card.
It’s frankly adorable and you can check it out below.
