Anyone who’s read one of the kazillion reviews or blog posts about Beck’s recent tour knows that a) he uses marionettes, and b) at one point, all of his band members sit at a kitchen table, playing their utensils. This “Clap Hands” clip shows off both live-show staples, which means that not only does Beck now have to come up with something completely new, but that SNL finally featured a floppity haired puppet on that wasn’t Andy Samberg.

With all the recent Beck-lash going on about him being a corporate, xenu-loving faux-hipster, one thing still remains totally true: That was pretty fucking awesome.
