Bert and Ernie Mount Up, Perform Warren G and Nate Dogg’s “Regulate”

Sesame Street hip-hop mashups have become a genre unto themselves. As the show has churned out charming parodies of pop culture favorites old and new, denizens of the Internet have cultivated this art form on their own, combining Sesame Street footage with classic hip-hop jams.

The latest example? This masterpiece by Mylo the Cat, in which Ernie, Bert, and the whole gang rap along to Warren G and Nate Dogg’s “Regulate.” As Bert sings about losing his rings and Rolex, and laments, “I can’t believe this happenin’ in my own town,” most erstwhile Sesame Street fans will happily agree.
