When we make a list of all the things that make us happy (giant tortoises, grilled cheese with bacon, not being infested with bedbugs), The Beastie Boys and The Muppets are definitely up there. So we were overjoyed to see this mashup in which Swedish Chef, Animal and Beeker (all in full "Danny Boy" regalia) "cover" Beastie Boys classic "So What'cha Want." It's exactly the kind of pick-me-up we need while cowering under our desks, panic-scratching our long underwear.
