I always enjoy his celebrity lip-synch battles. They're goofy, but harmless fun...Jimmy's first song of the night was Undercover of the Night...a surprising choice...

Great! Funny! And what a band he has to his disposal - The Roots backed up by Buddy Guy!

Than was fun. Fallon is an amazing talent.

And Jimmy was really channeling the video there with the Paris nightclub footage alternating being Mick and Keith.

He's such a weirdo. I used to really like the guy, but then he just became way too overblown for me (and I was one of the people that defended him when he laughed in every SNL sketch). But he's so weird with being a fan of bands. Like, I think he is a big Stones fan and McCartney fan, but then he'll ask the most mundane questions of them or list his favorite songs which are obviously all the big hits. Now I don't fault him for that, cause he's trying to reach mainstream and he can't go fanboy.

But then every now and then he does something like this, that is so deep and so out of left field that its puzzling. Hand to god, as a big Stones fan, I've probably heard Undercover Of The Night maybe 3 times at most. Thats it. Hardly enough to remember it, but much less enough to lip sync it. Its quite puzzling he would pick something like this, and it just leaves me confused. So he is a big fan? Or he just plays it up like he is? I'm kind of shocked this even got past a producer, in that its certainly not mainstream enough to play and I wonder if he had to fight in any sort of way to make it to air. The whole thing is baffling to me.

Yes! Forgot to mention that Buddy was sitting in with the Roots!

I think he's genuinely a spazzy, fan-boy dork...in a good way. It's not really an act, although he plays it up for the cameras. He seems to really know his trivia when it comes to classic bands.

I agree on Undercover of the Night...that's why I posted it. I was expecting him to announce JJF or Brown Sugar...or...or...ANYTHING but a relatively obscure '80s cut from their synth period.

this was hilarious but i must admit my favourite part was at the end when they both sang "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'" to that girl whose fiance/husband was sitting right next to her

<<I've probably heard Undercover Of The Night maybe 3 times at most.>>

If you had been 17 in 1983, having been wowed by Tattoo You 2 years earlier, you would have loved it and listened to it often, enough for the song to take you back to that year when you listen to it even 30 plus years later.

<<a relatively obscure '80s cut from their synth period.>>

Again, not if you were a 17-year-old Stones fan in 1983. You'd remember it as one of the highlights of that period. One of the best songs--and videos--of that year.

Your obviously giving this one way too much thought.

Thanks for posting - Fallon does a credible job on this! Must confess that I love him a lot. But - gaaah! - to have to sit thru Tom Cruise ever is very annoying.

Maybe he just happens to like that song.

Well, Jimmy was 9 in 1983, but we'll give him the benefit of the doubt

He had to look back, because the only thing for him between the age of 9 and 14 was Dirty Work.

By the way, I was 17 in 1983, and Undercover, both the song and the album, were awesome.

3 million+ views so quickly. Probably sold a few Undercover downloads.

I listen to Undercover of the Night frequently, including the 12" single version. I can totally understand Fallon picking it.

LURV the 12" version .....



ROCKMAN

that was the bomb .

i hate to say but tom cruise was better

Agreed! And how on earth you can claim Undercover Of The Night is some sort of obscure song is beyond me.

Yep. I was 16 at the time and it was massive.

I was 18....massive on muchmusic & Friday night videos!

That is hilarious...helped by years of Fallon doing Mick, and a great back up band.

I was 17, and to this day I consider it one of the greatest songs in the Stones catalog.

Brilliant he managed to do Mick and Keith lol. Love it

"Jimmy Fallon lip-synched to 'Undercover of the Night' last night"
