Ben Folds Five know what they’re doing. Excitement was already high for the band’s first album in 13 years, The Sound of the Life of the Mind, which comes out tomorrow, but now it’s been amplified because they wisely made a music video for the song “Do It Anyway” featuring something everyone loves: SINGING MUPPETS. (Remember “Keep Fishin’”?)
Specifically, singing Fraggles, who crash BFF’s recording session before performing their theme song. Also in the video: non-Muppets Chris Hardwick, Rob Corddry, and Anna Kendrick, who would look adorable as a Fraggle. BFF is working the nostalgia angle hard, but at least it’s warranted.

Because of my perfectly rational, not creepy at all appreciation for Anna Kendrick I checked her IMDB page after watching this video. She has a movie coming out in 2013 with Bryan Cranston and Alison Brie. That movie is going break the little corner of the Internet that is warming glow.
if Emma Stone has a cameo, singularity will be achieved
*looks at bassist*
More like CHEW It Anyway, amiryte, you guys?
Ben Folds Five are going to Rock This Bitch like it’s 1997!
