Sesame Street's monsters sing Kanye West's "Monster"

by Anne T. Donahue

2011’s here, and it’s time to be serious: Kanye West may be great, but he can’t possibly understand the trials and tribulations of legitimate monsterdom.

Regardless of Pitchfork’s perfect score, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, is just that (a fantasy), and while he and the likes of Nicki Minaj sing of their antics and feats in the unforgettable “Monster”, the residents of Sesame Street live that harsh reality every day. Because if you don’t think their “features and shows are ten times your pay” or that they’re “money’s so tall that [their] body’s got to climb it”, you’ve got another thing coming.

Here, courtesy of Bobby Miller, is Sesame Street’s “Monster” interpretation. And yes, they’re going to need to see your fucking hands at the concert. [via Vulture].
