Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl stopped by Sesame Street recently to say hi to his pals Big Bird and Elmo in honor of the show’s 50th anniversary this year. Grohl then subsequently encourages his friends to hit the road to make some new friends, using a version of the old “a stranger’s just a friend you haven’t met” adage from The Simpsons’ version of A Streetcar Named Desire. His travel song “Here We Go” sounds exactly like the kind of Foo Fighters song you’d expect to hear on Sesame Street. As Dave, Bird, and Elmo travel across the country (or, in front of various scenes on the green screen), “Here We Go” definitely adds more guitar than you’re likely to hear on most Sesame Street episodes, with a score of kid-friendly “la la la”s thrown in for good measure.

That’s fine, but it could be better.
Nobody refuses Dave Grohl!
At the :50 mark, Dave looked like he was thinking ‘What the fuck am I doing? I was in Nirvana! I’m the lead in Foo Fighters!”THEN for the rest of the video he was enjoying himself.
I think that pretty much goes for every celebrity appearance on that show. A little bewildered, but they end up having fun. Honestly, I think even the most cynical adult can’t help but enjoy themselves after conversing with Big Bird for a few minutes. Or any Muppet, really.
Dave seems like a good dude.
I read his autobiography and I couldn’t get over how overwhelmingly positive the guy is about his life. He seems incredibly grateful to be where he is. It’s nice.
Sorry to see Sesame Street having to stoop to using one of those off-brand Moopets for their programming. Hoped HBO would fund them a little bit better than this.

elmo plays guitar like kurt <3
I really wish I could make myself like Dave Grohl’s music more. He seems like an awesome dude, and he and I both worship at the same alter of rock and roll. His music just doesn’t do much for me for whatever reason.

I hate Big Bird’s new voice. That’s all for today. Thanks for coming to my TED Talk..
