Normally you’d need one playoff series win or the first three wins in a 6-10 season to get a fan anthem, but in today’s world of fast fame and every girl with a webcam thinking she’s Ingrid Michaelson we can find a theme song for anything.

Enter: YouTube songstress Stephanie K and her 236th one-minute song, “Metta World Peace Elbow”. She’s got an easy point to make (“a guy who hurts people shouldn’t be named peace”) and is ready to sing it like motherf**king Ariel.

Check out the clip after the jump, but be warned: you may be stuck singing “Ron! OH Ron!” for the rest of the day.

(No, seriously, that’s all I do.)

By way of That NBA Lottery Pick comes this preview clip of Los Angeles Clippers alley-oopist Blake Griffin’s upcoming appearance on ‘Sesame Street’. It’s basically the coolest thing that can happen to you as a celebrity (other than your solid gold house and rocket car), but I’m surprised at Griffin’s appearance, because I had no idea he could read.

Griffin’s experience looks like the one shared by anyone else who watched Sesame Street growing up and tunes in now — he comes into it expecting Bert and Ernie, but ends up getting shouted at by Elmo.

If this is a little passive for your Blake Griffin news, please enjoy these follow-up videos of Blake making Pau Gasol look like f**king Telly Monster.

[Ed. note - In celebration of this week's theatrical release of The Muppets, here's our thing about Muppets. If you haven't seen it yet, you're in for a treat.]

We’re still a few months away from the release of The Muppets, starring and written by Jason Segel, but my excitement couldn’t be higher. Hold on, I’m receiving a breaking news message… *squirrel in a hot air balloon drops a note tied to an acorn on the table* … it appears that The Muppets also stars Rashida Jones and Mila Kunis, so I may have an awesome heart attack soon. In the meantime, it’s Friday and now I’m all Muppety, so what the hell can I do to resolve this?

Thankfully, while looking for something completely unrelated yesterday, I stumbled across the Muppets Wiki site and started perusing the history of the happiest shows of my childhood – The Muppet Show and Sesame Street. Eventually I realized that a lot of athletes have been told how to get to, how to get to Sesame Street over the past 42 years, and it all started with Jackie Robinson in 1969. From there, children and adults who are still children at heart watched with glee as their favorite athletes stopped by to teach us about the alphabet, sharing, numbers, living in garbage cans, depression, being a giant bird, same sex partnerships with bottle cap enthusiasts, and building motor skills, among others.

After the jump, I’ve compiled an extensive history of athletes making appearances on Sesame Street and with the Muppets. If you don’t enjoy this or smile the whole way through, then I’m afraid we’ll never be friends. And that would make Big Bird very sad.

(Grover is Bosh.)

One of my professional goals is to make an appearance on Sesame Street and teach Grover the difference between two obvious things he should’ve organically learned about at some point over the last forty years. Sadly there isn’t a lot of room for bloggers on children’s programming (“hey kids, this is the difference between CREDITING your source and claiming you ARE the source, even if you just typed ‘cheerleaders’ into Flickr!” etc.), so here’s a clip of New York Knicks Carmelo Anthony and Amar’e Stoudemire living that dream for me.

Watch as they teach Grover what it is to “compare”. Carmelo can shoot the ball into the basket. Amar’e can shoot the ball into the basket. Grover can shoot the ball… way below the basket. They should’ve had Patrick Ewing walk on and say, “I can also shoot the ball way below the basket”.

I feel like he should’ve just transformed into Super Grover and started traveling all over the place. Super Grover is too popular for traveling calls.

They should bring on Stephon Marbury and have him call Elmo a sellout for doing the “Elmo’s World” segment instead of talking to kids on the street.
