My dad was the one to tell me about this, an episode of Lip Sync Battle between Jason Schwartzman and... Big Bird. As you would guess, it wasn't even close. That said, Big Bird didn't have to come as hard as he did. (Though the voice of the new puppeteer is somewhat off, which I found distracting at non-lip sync moments.)
First, Big Bird lip syncing to the “Feeling Good” cover by Michael Buble.

Now, it's “I Gotta Feeling.”

A Jason Schwartzman number follows it, but I feel that's skippable. What I'm annoyed this video skipped is LL Cool J asking
Cookie Monster what Big Bird gave him to show up for this performance and
Cookie Monster replying,
"Cash." With a moment of silence following and then, "Me kidding. COOOOKIE."
I think I blew my dad's mind when I said that puppeteers lip sync as a profession.

I evolved three Eevee into Leafeons and traded one to my dad, who didn't have enough Eevee candy on his own account to do one himself. I like the look of this eevolution so much.
