The Muppets have always been big fans of rock 'n' roll.

And, once again, the beloved characters have proven they know how to rock with a spot-on cover of Electric Light Orchestra's 'Mr. Blue Sky.'

The cover also comes with a kaleidoscopic video that shows the members of The Muppets house band Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem performing on set before getting whisked away on fluffy clouds and dropped among a bunch of singing, dancing flowers.

Zoot, the blue-haired saxophonist voiced by Dave Goelz, also performs an impressive talk-box solo in the middle of the song, while Janis delivers a soulful guitar solo.

The cover of the 1977 classic is part of YouTube's Dear Earth special, which features musical performances and presentations from climate activists, content creators and other celebrities.

'Mr. Blue Sky' first appeared on ELO's album Out of the Blue.
