‘Parks & Recreation’ Band Mouse Rat Announces Album Marking 10th Anniversary of Li’l Sebastian’s Death

Author Erica Banas // Rock Music Reporter
May 19th, 2021 3:07 PM

Parks & Recreation went off the air in 2015, but that’s not stopping the show from making headlines, especially when honoring one of Pawnee, Indiana’s greatest citizens and bands.

Today (May 19) marks the 10th anniversary of the passing of Li’l Sebastian. In his honor, Mouse Rat is releasing The Awesome Album, which features the tribute song “5,000 Candles In The Wind (Bye Bye Li’l Sebastian),” as well as other notable Mouse Rat classics like “The Pit” and “Sex Hair.” (A full tracklisting can be viewed below.)

Mouse Rat: The Awesome Album is coming! Pre-order the limited-edition vinyl in these awesome colors, the cassette, and more, AND listen to the hit single "5,000 Candles In The Wind (Bye Bye Li'l Sebastian)" now! https://t.co/gsRuvSQUSF#mouserat #lilsebastian #parksandrec pic.twitter.com/ZS4AGwQcox

10 Fictional Places from TV and Movies We Wish We Could Visit

  • Pawnee, IN

    Share

    Pawnee is seemingly the biggest-little town in Indiana. They have nightlife (Snakehole Lounge, Cozy's Bar), they have plenty of restaurants (JJ's Diner, Tom's Bistro), they have...well...beautiful parks! Oh, and they have some of the best government workers ever, Jeremy Jamm excluded.

  • Wakanda

    Share

    There are many wondrous settings in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but perhaps the most stunning of them all is the Kingdom of Wakanda. It truly is an unbelievable nation, from its economy to its educational system. If only Wakanda were real...

  • Monstropolis

    Share

    The whimsical Monstropolis is the setting of 'Monsters, Inc." Truth be told, one of the big reasons to visit Monstropolis is to dine at Harryhausen's, if only because it's SO exclusive!

  • Themyscira/Paradise Island

    Share

    Who wouldn't want to visit the home of Wonder Woman?! Those Amazons are amazing!

  • Radiator Springs

    Share

    Radiator Springs may be off the beaten path of Route 66, but their hospitality is second to none.

  • Dillon, Texas

    Share

    Sure, there's plenty of drama in Dillon, but taking in a Friday night football game would be an incredible experience. At the end of the day, the mood could be summed up in two words: Texas forever.

  • Gilligan’s Island

    Share

    Seemingly filled with unlimited resources (or at least supplies to make coconut cream pies), Gilligan's Island would be a blast to visit, particularly in the Minnow's crew and passengers were still there.

  • Stars Hollow, CT

    Share

    All of the town festivals! All of the town characters! A visit to Stars Hollow would be amazing for people-watching alone. Of course, a meal at Luke's Diner or Al's Pancake World would be a must.

  • Springfield

    Share

    Wherever Springfield is in the United States, it's definitely worth a visit. From Krustylu Studios to Moe's Tavern, there's something in Springfield for everyone.

  • Emerald City

    Share

    Emerald City is certainly magical, but the journey along the yellow brick road is half the experience.
