At the Disco](https://time.com/3386949/panic-at-the-disco-bohemian-rhapsody-queen-cover/) gave a viral [TikTok video](https://time.com/5583700/china-tech-tiktok-app/) making the rounds a creepy makeover with a cameo from their notorious puppet friend, [the Amazing Beebo.](https://www.instagram.com/theamazingbeebo/?hl=en) In a video posted to their TikTok account, Panic! At the Disco showed the Amazing Beebo, the puppet counterpart to [frontman Brandon Urie](https://time.com/5651225/taylor-swift-lover/), getting down to “Mr. Sandman,” in an apparent homage to a viral trend on the platform. According to _Buzzfeed_, the trend started with Jade Taylor-Ryan and her cat, Ed, after Taylor-Ryan posted a video of Ed adorably clapping and dancing to the song “Mr. Sandman” in nine identical frames. When Beebo, however, dances in nine identical frames a la Ed, the effect is less cute and more creepy, something that Panic! At the Disco noted in their caption for the clip, writing: “What dreams (or nightmares) are made of.” Fans were understandably skeeved out by the Amazing Beebo’s “Mr. Sandman” remake and took to the Internet to share their feelings about it. > [](https://twitter.com/PanicAtTheDisco/status/1166821812858175493) > [](https://twitter.com/ChloeBGames/status/1166821922182705157) > [](https://twitter.com/myartyourterms/status/1166821904486936577) > [](https://twitter.com/hypeannika/status/1166822732614590467) While it appears that the Beebo video is all in good fun, it wouldn’t hurt to sleep with one eye open tonight. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5664440/panic-at-the-disco-mr-sandman-tik-tok-video-puppet/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5664440/panic-at-the-disco-mr-sandman-tik-tok-video-puppet/"},"headline":"Go on a Nightmarish Journey With This Creepy Puppet Take on the Viral Mr. Sandman Video","datePublished":"2019-08-29T15:36:55.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T08:00:06.423Z","description":"The Amazing Beebo returns","url":"https://time.com/5664440/panic-at-the-disco-mr-sandman-tik-tok-video-puppet/","keywords":["Newsfeed","viral","onetime"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt6e7469ff1ed808bb/698a022616d884ca36c36e2f/panic-at-the-disco-puppet-mr-sandman-tik-tok-video.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Cady Lang","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/cady-lang/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt6e7469ff1ed808bb/698a022616d884ca36c36e2f/panic-at-the-disco-puppet-mr-sandman-tik-tok-video.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"2019 iHeartRadio Wango Tango Presented By The JUVÉDERM® Collection Of Dermal Fillers - Show","caption":"2019 iHeartRadio Wango Tango Presented By The JUVÉDERM® Collection Of Dermal Fillers - Show","creditText":"Jeff Kravitz—FilmMagic for iHeartMedia","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5664440/panic-at-the-disco-mr-sandman-tik-tok-video-puppet/","name":"Go on a Nightmarish Journey With This Creepy Puppet Take on the Viral Mr. Sandman Video"}}]}] ```
