Bob’s Burgers hasn’t been around as long as The Simpsons or Family Guy, which makes collaborations with hip music acts such as this one like The National and Låpsley covering a song that was on the show originally sung on the show’s 100th episode by H. Jon Benjamin and Kristen Schaal even more impressive. 

There’s even a really great music video to go along with it.

IFC’s biggest series are getting into production for their latest seasons and, of course, they have quite the guest star list.

Pitchfork reports that a nice roster of bands will be featured on Comedy Bang! Bang! including The National, Lonely Island, Future Islands, and The Flaming Lips. Presumably, there will be some great jamming between them and Comedy Bang! Bang’s band leader Reggie Watts.

Splitsider has found through Carrie Brownstein’s Instagram that Natasha Lyonne, Jeff Goldblum, and Jane Lynch, amongst others will join Fred Armisen and Carrie in Portlandia. 

So, we can’t wait for the premiere of either of these.

Of course, doing a play based on a documentary has seldom been done, if ever, and makes the rehearsal process more than a little taxing. 

Watch Funny or Die’s inside look into Mistake For Strangers the play.
