YOUTUBE-TIED: THE MUPPETS MEET OZZY

Forget what we said earlier about John Peel: When it comes to hanging out with debauched rock stars, no one can touch the Muppets. In the thirty years since their TV debut, they've shared the stage with the likes of Alice Cooper, Elton John, Rivers Cuomo and, of course, Jim Nabors. But nothing can prepare you for this 1994 YouTube oddity, in which Kermit and the gang inexplicably cover the Fine Young Cannibals' "She Drives Me Crazy"—a full six years after the song came out. Joining them in this ill-advised attempt at a young, "hip" audience are Ozzy Osbourne, Harry Connick Jr., Little Richard, David Hasselhoff, and some woman who looks a hell of a lot like Camille Paglia. Look for the awkward Demi Moore-Bruce Willis moment, in which they don sailors' caps and sing in what looks like an RV kitchen. So painful.
