Play Him Off, Green Day Cat

Posted Tue Jun 2, 2009 4:47pm PDT by Lyndsey Parker in As Heard On...

As anyone who has even casually browsed YouTube lately well knows, Keyboard Cat is the latest Internet darling--effectively and immediately rendering Tay "Chocolate Rain" Zonday, Chris "Leave Britney Alone" Crocker, and even fellow Interweb feline Spaghetti Cat obsolete.

But for those of you unfamiliar with the utter awesomeness of Keyboard Cat (presumably because you've been using an abacus, not a computer, for the last month or so), here he is in all his camcordered, onesie-wearing, ivory-tickling glory:

Anyway, Keyboard Cat has spawned thousands of viral-video parodies and tributes, but perhaps the greatest one of all features no kitty whatsoever. Instead, it stars the members of Green Day on The Colbert Report, in what is possibly THE greatest moment of their entire illustrious career:

If Green Day retire tomorrow and never record another song or make another public appearance again, they ought to be inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame based on this video alone. Genius.
