I was today years old when I learned that The Squirrel Nut Zippers performed a special version of Put A Lid On It on Sesame Street.

Brass solos are excellent!

Sesame Street: “Put a Lid On It” (HQ) (2000)

I usually don’t upload clips from the 2000s, but this clip definitely needed a quality upgrade and the song’s pretty neat. You can check out the Squirrel Nut...

For those of you not familiar, the Squirrel Nut Zippers were a 90's #jazz swing band from Chapel Hill, NC. What's crazy is that actually had a song hit the pop charts in 1996.
