“There are times you’ll love the cover, and that’s precisely why you’ll love the book,” sings Ben Folds on the newly-reunited Ben Folds Five‘s single “Do It Anyway”. Now, if the music video were to be considered the “cover” of the “book”, then I should theoretically love this song more than I love myself.
As we all know, there’s one thing I enjoy as much as (if not more than) cats, beards and hot gay butt sex. And that’s MUPPETS. I fucking adore anything that Jim Henson ever created.
I really want to like “Do It Anyway”, since the music video enlists the help of the Fraggle Rock cast… Yet despite the respect I have for Ben Folds as a musician and songwriter, his tunes just never really connected with me in a major way.
But holy shit, you guys! MUPPETS.

My boyfriend loves Fraggle Rock. He used to watch it as a kid. Still does on Netflix sometimes. And this was well done by both teams.
