"LISTEN ALL Y'ALL, IT'S A... SESAMETAGE:" Beastie Boys "Sabotage" x Sesame Street Mash-up Edited & Created By: Adam Schleichkorn (Mylo The Cat AKA isthishowyougoviral)

"I'm available to edit all sorts of videos and create all sorts of content. I'm also available for interviews, shenanigans, or if you just need a friend - Adam@hiddentracktv.com," reads part of the YouTube description for OutKast | "Ms. Jackson" | Muppets Version. Needless to say, after witnessing the sheer greatness that is Beastie Boys | "Sabotage" | Sesame Street Mashup on both Stereogum and NPR Music late last week, I quickly reached out to Mylo The Cat AKA isthishowyougoviral AKA Adam Schleichkorn just for sh*ts and giggles, thinking he most likely, wouldn't write back... but before day's end, Adam had already responded back to my email thanking me for contacting him and adding that "most websites just crank out articles" and generally, don't bother to reach out. From what I can piece together from the shattered shards scattered across The Internet, Adam Schleichkorn's storied history with "going viral" started back in 2006 on an unspecified YouTube channel wherein Schleichkorn was a "YouTube Partner" and readily admits he "got a little too caught up in generating views for ad revenue, which made my content suffer."

Soon after, Adam went on to form Hidden Track TV, which birthed Mylo The Cat AKA The Coolest Cat On The Internet and before too long, garnered wide-spread acclaim and featured appearances on 20/20, FOXNews, The Jimmy Kimmel Show, The Tom Green Show, ABC News, CBS News, NBC News, Extra!, and The Maury Povich Show. Adam Schleichkorn now runs a new, similarly-minded channel fittingly titled isthishowyougoviral and posts edited videos and content commonly referred to as either "Muppets Rapping" or "Muppet Mash-ups" videos. He's single-handedly created such side-splitting and meme-worthy content as Naughty By Nature | "Hip-Hop Hooray" | Muppets Version, Digital Underground | "The Humpty Dance" | Muppets Version, ODB | "Shimmy Shimmy Ya" | Muppets Version, Warren G-approved "Regulate" | Sesame Street Version, and Kendrick Lamar | "Swimming Pools (Drank)" | Rick and Morty Mashup. I'll just let Adam Schleichkorn take it from here:

"No prob. So, about three years ago, I created a Muppets/Beastie Boys mash-up that was my first "modern-day" viral video. People have literally been requesting another Beasties track since then, but I wanted to wait 'til I had an idea that could potentially top the original. The music video for "Sabotage" was always my favorite of all time. I remember being absolutely blown away when I first saw it on MTV all those years ago and it truly stands the test of time, as I still think it's incredible.

For a Beastie Boys song, though, it's very different from the others. Only one of the guys is rapping throughout, so I felt that a traditional lip-sync mash-up wasn't going to cut it. I also held off for years because that original was just so damn good. Once I came up with the idea to use clips from Follow That Bird, I was comfortable enough to attempt it. I knew it wasn't going to be an exact shot-by-shot re-make, but there are a bunch of scenes that align very closely with the original video."

[W]reckless, Topless American Youth: Lana del Rey - "Born 2 Die" (Britney Spears Birthday 30)

Lana del Rey [Lizzy Grant] effectively became 2011's "It Girl" with the release of her phenomenal debut single, "Video Games" (Stranger) . Like many struggling singer-songwriters, Grant has been signed, dropped, and significantly changed her public image since bursting onto the scene (2009). With that said, it can be assumed that Lana del Rey has collected just as many "haters" as she has avid supporters. To be perfectly honest, the only other artist I can think of that made this much commotion... garnered so much wide-spread buzz/hate and critical acclaim -- right out of the gates -- with just one track is Britney Spears . And maybe in this post- Mike musical era, that's the true synthesis of Pop Culture: Britney Lynn Spears . After months of repeated teasing and speculation, Lana del Rey 's major label debut, Born 2 Die will [finally] be released this coming Jan. 30-31, 2012. Pitchfork reports that it will feature "Off to The Ra

Lindsay Lohan essentially embodies exactly "What NOT to Do In Hollywood :" Fame, fortune, success... sex, drugs & Rock "N" Roll . Within a fairly short period of time, Lohan somehow managed to obtain a plentiful helping of POWER @ a very young age. This gradual rise-downfall was captured on film; Between 1998-2010, she portrayed a wide array of roles across the silver screen in movies including: Mean Girls, Bobby , Herbie Fully Loaded , Georgia Rule, Machete , and Freaky Friday . Between rapid-paced film shoots, Lindsay Lohan also found time to record 2 Pop Rock albums for Casablanca , Speak (2004) and A Litter More Personal-Raw (2005).

That's the pure basics of it - But Google that shit for additional info, if necessary. Towards the end of
