Directioners, you need to know how to get to Sesame Street—that's where your boys are!

Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson and Zayn Malik are making a Fall 2014 appearance on the PBS show, and in an adorable preview clip, the One Direction guys repurpose their hit 2011 single "What Makes You Beautiful" to teach us about the letter "U"!

The fivesome, looking oh-so-wholesome as they surround a purple "U" letter, sing not about what makes you beautiful, but about what makes U useful!  Harry, perhaps, has the cutest line, when he sings to camera that, "26 letters are in the alphabet, but we're here to sing about U!"

And not only are the boy-banders precious and educational, they're also ubiquitous (aka everywhere!--and please note the use of the letter "U" there). They're kicking off their Where We Are world tour in Spring of 2014, starting their journey April 25 in Colombia and not wrapping up Oct. 5 in Miami.

They can't wait to see U!
