Long Island Native's Muppet Dub Goes Viral

The Muppets and The Beastie Boys don’t usually go together, but one Long Island man found a way.

Adam Schleichkorn, of Long Beach, released a comedy video on YouTube Monday of The Muppets lip synching to The Beastie Boys.

The video garnered nearly 60,000 hits as of Tuesday afternoon and has been featured by the likes of Mashable, Uproxx, Huffington Post, and Slate.

Schleichkorn, a Huntington native, is no stranger to viral fame. The 1999 Walt Whitman High School graduate has created multiple viral hits, including Mylo the Cat and the YouTube series Station Softball. His videos have garnered more than 100 million views.

“The hardest part of my job hands down was learning how to create these animations from start to finish,” he explained to Patch in February. “Animation is a whole new world compared to traditional video, so I literally locked myself in a room for weeks to hone my skills. I pride myself on my work, and refuse to put out anything even close to mediocre, especially for paying-clients, so I made it a point to spend countless hours to get to the next level. “
