Cookie Monster is learning a little self-control when it comes to his favorite snack food.
The folks at Sesame Street have just released a video in which the Muppet spoofs Icona Pop’s hit song “I Love It.”

Cookie’s version is titled “Me Want It (But Me Wait).” In the song, he sings: “When me lose control, when me on the brink, need to just calm down, me need to stop and think. Me need control me self, yeah that’s the way to live, and then me functioning, like an executive. Me wait, me want it, but me wait.”
There’s even a hashtag referenced in honor of the song: #ControlMeself.
