Warning: watching Chance The Rapper cover the theme from PBS’ Arthur might bring nostalgic tears to your eyes. The 21-year-old rapper proved his ’90s kid status at Sasquatch Festival with a magical version of “Believe in Yourself.” The original, written and performed by Ziggy Marley and the Melody Makers, immediately evokes everyone’s favorite aardvark and a world filled with his anthropomorphic pals.

What’s great about Chance’s version is that it’s not only a nod to one of best ’90s cartoons, but one hell of a nod at that. Complete with wind chimes, a slowed-down groove and the obligatory crowd sing-along, Chance takes us back to those feel-good afternoons spent with Arthur and friends.
