Yo Gabba Gabbaland! Takes Over NPR’s ‘Tiny Desk’ With Thundercat: Watch

For one extra special Tiny Desk concert, NPR’s office was transported from Washington, D.C., to Yo Gabba Gabbaland on the latest episode of the concert series posted Wednesday (Dec. 18).

Led by young host Kammy Kam, Yo Gabba Gabbaland!‘s favorite colorful characters Brobee, Foofa, Muno, Toodee and Plex sang and danced for an audience of small kids gathered at the iconic office space for a five-song set, starting with “Yo Gabba GabbaLand!” The gang then incorporated the crowd of children in a game of wiggly dancing titled “Hold Still” and tackled complex emotions with “I’m So Mad (Just Breathe)” before a special guest — Thundercat, dressed in a striped feline suit — joined them for “The Orange Cat’s Special Time Outdoors.”

“It’s me, Thundercat,” the bassist said smoothly before diving into his groovy tune. “And this is a song about the real me.”

Thundercat then stuck around for the cast’s closing number, “Party in My Tummy.” While the group sang about all the delicious foods lunchtime has to offer, Kammy Kam held up banana, grape and carrot props while kids in the crowd danced with apple plushies before everyone waved goodbye.

The latest Tiny Desk episode comes about four months after the premiere of Yo Gabba Gabbaland! on Apple TV+, which featured Thundercat alongside a host of other special guests.
