It's that time of year again... It wouldn't be Saint Patrick's Day without the Leprechaun Brothers singing Danny Boy 🍀 The Swedish Chef, Animal, and Beaker from the Wally Boag episode of The Muppet Show in 1981

I don't know if anybody's into the Starkid musicals but their new one is on YouTube and it's very good -- a teen horror movie musical called Nerdy Prudes Must Die. I'm not confident in my use of the words banger or bop, but I'm pretty sure it has at least one of each.
