So, who do you think will make it in??

'Sesame Street' has Bieber Fever! In a skit for the 42nd season of the popular kid's show, Elmo and a Justin Bieber-esque puppet sing "Measure, Yeah Measure," to the tune of Bieber's "Never Say Never."

The Biebs himself isn't the one behind the vocals, but his miniature doppelganger rocks the signature Bieber bangs (pre-haircut), a leather jacket and dog tags. Who knew Muppets could have swagger?

The new season of 'Sesame Street' airs September 26th on PBS.
