Ben Folds Five Teams Up with Fraggle Rock for the 'Do it Anyway' Video

The Muppets from Fraggle Rock are back and better than ever as they jam with Ben Folds Five in the 'Do it Anyway' music video.

In the video, Ben Folds Five is having a recording session in a studio that just happens to be right above the underground fantasy world of Fraggle Rock. As the band starts to play, they cause a minor cave-in down below and the Fraggle Rock inhabitants are forced to climb up into the studio where they proceed to join in the music and rock out.

The video also features special appearances by Rob Corddry, Anna Kendrick and Chris Hardwick, who helped get the Fraggle Rock crew back together to celebrate their 30th anniversary.

The music video also marks the reunion of Ben Folds Five who are back together after a 13 year hiatus. The song is featured on the group's album 'The Sound of the Life of the Mind,' which hit music stores on September 18th, 2012.
