Jimmy Fallon News: ‘The Tonight Show’ Host, The Roots Give New Spin On Old Vibe
Jimmy Fallon sure knows how to work his way into the news as he made a yet another fun-filled hilarious episode of "The Tonight Show." The offering, which aired on Wednesday showed the host and his house band "The Roots" perform the 1965 classic "Iko Iko."
They were wearing black and blonde wigs, and were in the company of singer Sia and actress Natalie Portman.
Fallon and his band "The Roots" are known for accustoming their music to a variety of instruments and styles. Their most recent gig on "The Tonight Show" showed them disguising into singer Sia's trademark look for the "Iko Iko" cover, according to Entertainment Weekly.
Apart from their wigs, others donned full black garment and some were in full white attire. Meanwhile, the Australian singer and songwriter wore an over-sized wig that covered her face. She also wore a huge white bow on her hair.
Even Portman joined in the fun as she wore a full black suit with a black and blonde wig.
According to news reports, it was quite surprising for Jimmy Fallon and the rest of "The Tonight Show" gang to play good music using just random instruments.
Sia, who is about to release her seventh album entitled "This is Acting," led the group. Fallon played using the spoons while Portman took credit for banging wood blocks, according to US Magazine.
E! reported about the news and said that Jimmy Fallon and his "The Tonight Show" crew gave the decades old track a whole new vibe with only the sounds of a deck of cards, spoons, an eight ball, wooden blocks and other household random items.
The actual musical instruments used during the performance were maracas, a guiro and a set of conga drums, it added.
