Jimmy Fallon channels James Taylor's performance at the DNC. With some slight modifications.

Okay now I like Jimmy Fallon (Though his show is on much too late for me to watch, cause I needs my beauty sleep), but I don't think I was ever aware that he was THIS talented.

Give it a listen, you are going to LOVE it. I promise.

    G. Have you not seen Jimmy Fallon channeling David Bowie as Tim Tebow? That is even better than the James Taylor parody. Google it. Too funny. You can see many of his great musical skits in the show Jimmy Fallon's Primetime Music Special on NBC. They have shown that twice that I have seen.

    1. I seriously thought I would die of oxygen deprivation when I saw Jimmy Fallon's "Jesus Christ to Tim Te-bow" (think "ground control to ma-jor Tom")

      I never realized what a TRULY amazing gift Fallon has for mimicry.

    He does an excellent Neil Young and Bob Dylan. He's definitely very talented!

    Check out his Dylan here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XpGvGqq8e64&list=PLE974C6788C3E8DCF&index=5&feature=plcp

    Not only is Fallon talented, he's very persuasive. The story is that Paul McCartney wasn't all that keen on doing "Yesterday" as "Scrambled Eggs" but Fallon started singing it, McCartney's roadie's began laughing and McCartney agreed to do it.

    1. As someone who loves Neil Young (what, he *isn't* God?) that is just completely awesome. Can't wait to watch the Dylan one!

    2. OMG the Dylan impression was awesome but the Doors one! When he got to "goodnight moon" I thought I'd lose it. Inspired, brilliant and utterly mad!

    Fallon is multi talented. He could have another career -- better than some of those that do it for a living!!

    Love the line about 2016 -- Michelle and Hillary!!!

    He's done a number of singing segments on the show. I see some links posted above.

    Oh god. At NASCAR event, fan asks Romney who his favorite driver is. He says: "I've got a lot of drivers I like."

    Read all the replies - also, too

    yeah, that was excellent! jimmy fallon is a pretty talented guy, I've seen him do several musical impersonations, and he always nails it. his eddie vedder is very impressive, I can't find a full length clip but here's a short one that is good:
