Today, Apple TV’s Yo Gabba GabbaLand! brought its signature energy and irresistible cheer to NPR Music’s iconic Tiny Desk series. Always bringing fun and positivity wherever they go, the Yo Gabba GabbaLand! friends delivered a vibrant performance sure to leave viewers of all ages smiling.

The lively set opened with the cheerful number “We’re in Yo Gabba GabbaLand!,” kept the energy high with the classic interactive song “Hold Still,” and the new and instructive “I’m So Mad (Just Breathe)” followed. Adding to the magic, GRAMMY-winning artist Thundercat, sporting a head-to-toe orange cat costume, reprised his GabbaLand!series role for a special rendition of “The Orange Cat’s Special Time Outdoors,” before joining the fan-favorite finale “Party in My Tummy.”

“Tiny Desk is basically hallowed ground at this point,” said GabbaLand co-creator Scott Schultz. “Just to be asked was a huge honor for us. We’re incredibly grateful to the NPR Music team and, of course, our friend Thundercat. We were so happy to bring the Gabba magic to the iconic series and can’t wait for our fans of all ages to share in our joy!”
