Each week night, THE LATE LATE SHOW with JAMES CORDEN throws the ultimate late night after party with a mix of celebrity guests, edgy musical acts, games and sketches. Corden differentiates his show by offering viewers a peek behind-the-scenes into the green room, bringing all of his guests out at once and lending his musical and acting talents to various sketches. Additionally, bandleader Reggie Watts and the house band provide original, improvised music throughout the show. Since Corden took the reigns as host in March 2015, he has quickly become known for generating buzzworthy viral videos, such as Carpool Karaoke."

I'm weak at the guys hair growing throughout the song! lmao

[@banggolovesyoutube637]

Can we talk about how good this actually is? James has the singing voice of an angel.

[@xxrandmlinksxxbruh2419]

Ok let’s talk about

[@Sleep659]

He’s not actually singing bro

[@witchofthewildwoods3496]

@@Sleep659 I think he is singing. His harmonies on Carpool Karaoke are phenomenal.

are you retarded?

This is totally funny, but I love the fact that it introduces another generation to a truly amazing song. One of my all time favs!

I see Hagrid has lost some weight.

LMAO Maybe they should have had James out on the bear haha that was mean, I apologize O.o 😪

probably that atkins diet

[@mariannakiwow]

i cant unsee it

[@jessisanchez8150]

James Corden looks like 1980's Meat Loaf

[@dinsangabenjamin8456]

was just bout to comment the same thing :D

[@SouthofIllusion]

LOL xD so true

[@itsameeey]

Yes!! I was just about to say this!

[@martinforker160]

I had to look at what this was about. Lol I thought it was meatloaf also. But I was like James did not have a show back then lol

[@johnking8896]

I was thinking that too.

[@suzanne-abigailclaxton904]

All jokes and fun aside, this is a beautiful song. It's so soothing but reminds us that nothing is forever.

[@maggied8468]

James has a good voice. I'd never heard of this song before. Looked up the original by Kansas and it's beautiful.

[@LeahLaushway]

Margaret Davies Oh, boy, do you have a fantastic back-catalogue waiting for you!

[@mikey6482]

You have some homework to do my friend!

[@maggied8468]

@@mikey6482 Thank you now you've made me curious 😀

[@mikey6482]

@@maggied8468 the 70s had a delightful combination of schlock, but there were gems that will last forever, forged before and after the cursed disco era. These were the days when people learned about Elton John, Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, even dare I say ABBA, Manilow, and the late Helen Reddy and countless others. Something for everybody.

[@maggied8468]

@@mikey6482 Thank you for taking the time to reply. I feel I've missed out on a lot of the 70s perhaps because my sister who is slightly older had control of the record player and the choice of music 😁 I really need to get my act together and enjoy what I've missed.

[@sambates490]

As an original Kansas fan from day 1, I was quite impressed to see this classic song reworked and executed brilliantly on what I consider today's hottest and best late night talk show. Very Well Done!! I'm sure Steve Walsh and Robby Steinhardt (original singers) loved it. Man, James can really sing!!

[@iminacademia4428]

Right? I hope Robby got to see it!

[@spacewaifuu]

Jim Parsons looks like Hagrid lol but seriously they sing beautifully tbh

[@kevinthunder3375]

lol thats what *I* said! :) But so did the original dude lolz 😂 😎😇

[@carolcyr8553]

yeah I didn't know James Corden could sing so nicely.

[@Aloha-and-utopia]

James is good, haven't you seen all his car karaoke?

[@carolcyr8553]

No I haven't seen very many episodes. He's really good.

[@nelsonovb5981]

Carol Cyr was

[@mebella4260]

I may be weird but I like James singing

[@vileguile4]

mebella not weird at all :)

[@Thaheadband33]

mebella is it really even him singing?

[@mebella4260]

+JJ Keller I meant him singing in general, not only that one video coz I'm not sure if him singing myself :p

[@KeybladeMasterAndy]

mebella his background is musical theatre, so it's all real and not weird to like at all.

[@aperson22222]

You're far from alone in that.

[@hey4horses517]

I was waiting for Jims hair to get caught in the bow xD Playing the violin with that much hair i was hoping he get it stuck in it for comedic effect. 😂

[@LisaWoodcomeflywithme]

Such beautiful memories of when this was spinning on the radio...wow. James Corden you are just a little angel. Much Love.

[@AdonisAmarante]

This song is amazing

[@sophiemcintyre8841]

just breathtaking

[@jacquelienbakker7713]

I absolutely love james' voice...and what a great combination

[@Vyselink]

I have had the fantastic fortune to see Kansas live. So awesome.

[@IrsidaSheshi]

There were plenty funny moments in this sketch, but I cannot get over at how good James Corden was at singing this song. Wow! He might as well be the original! He gets every moment so right...

[@PhunnyBeeziness]

This song no matter in what version is priceless

[@oopopp]

Corden here looking like a young Meatloaf... lol....

[@FutileGrief]

oopopp x right?!!! hahahahahaha

[@ThePerpetualStudent]

Lmfao!!! Can't breathe

[@aprettypenny1786]

Same thought!

[@Cork_UO]

haha I was just going to say the same thing. Looks more like Meatloaf than Kansas.

[@Smalinglosefatteam]

hahaha I just said the same thing! lol

[@JelenaW]

my two favorite people in the world! James' voice is GOLD! Jim as backing vocals, too. Loved this!!!!

[@alexrozario507]

in case you r stupid that was lip syncing :P

[@SoulReaverVidView]

The video is lip syncing, like all videos, but it's them singing. None one stands there and sings to open air that's not how microphones work. Calling people stupid when you can't even spell a 3 letter word or under stand how music works is pretty sad.

[@JelenaW]

Geeks & Melody of course it's lip syncing, but to their own vocals, can't you recignize them?

[@katystyles802]

James corden you rock.😁👍

[@chrislayne9440]

I close my eyes, only for a moment ... and I can actually enjoy the song without bursting out in laughter. Absolutely beautiful.

[@catconnor6]

Beautiful voice James! One of my favorite songs. Love how they turn to dust at the end it was great

[@valerierivas7782]

I love this song😍😍

[@CoinOpTV]

couldn't tell if he was playing a violin or his beard :)

[@bigstunna2049]

CoinOpTV 😂😂😂

[@Tuzilla]

Actually, he was playing neither.

[@ryano2883]

Yes. LOL

[@Ale-ut9ek]

One of the greatest song of all time!

[@ashleyvillanueva6389]

This was so angelic

[@bigkahona8444]

Love the high notes

[@ElisaYYang]

didn't know jim could play the violin so beautifully

[@KeybladeMasterAndy]

Elisa Yang He's holding the bow backwards

[@ElisaYYang]

I know it was sarcasm hahah

[@deelite4169]

First of all he is holding the bow backwards second of all his fingers were not moving and can say that cause I play violin well still learn but I learned enough to know that

[@theguywhoisaustralian1465]

Elisa Yang you have to give an indication or people will think you serious

[@wcgcjd]

Holy fuck what's up with the idiots commenting on this? IT IS A JOKE 😂

[@pumarox95]

I liked for Jim Parsons 😍❤

[@darkjudge8786]

You are the reason TV sucks. The guy is useless and yet you cant see it.

[@crazyjkz]

My favorite part is at 2:10 when the guitarists look at each other like wtf is going on here, and then they zoom in on the blonde guitarist, his facial expression looks funny.

[@jackythomson5752]

yes. it's scripted for them to have that reaction xD

[@DaGreatBarker]

Dang this is one of my favorite songs ever 😄

[@1975jmoseley]

The vocals are great! Well done gentleman.

[@kristineabul546]

love them both!!! 😍😍

He nailed this song!

[@tonydreamt]

That was epic, I love Dust In The Wind!

[@oldsoulbookgirl6905]

This is my all time favorties Kansas song and omg I love it

[@thisisajang]

Jim parson's violin playing aside, this video is a perfect parody / tribute for kansas. Wonder who's playing Kerry Livgren and Rich Williams, though.

[@ORagnar]

One of the key elements to Kansas is the voice of Steve Walsh. Few have had pipes like his. It's hard to duplicate that, but I appreciate the comedy.

[@specialsnowflake6969]

I love this cover! Good job James and Jim!

[@punkin7773]

James, your voice is angelic.

[@arakiri_x]

I think they missed the chance to sing "I close my eyes, only for a moment, and the wallets gone.."

[@dhogan1999]

One of James' best musical performances.

[@ssantiago5231]

This was so good to listen to ..

[@bivishashrestha8178]

[@AndeePandCompany]

😂😂😂 The piles at the end though...

[@animal45jack]

Can't stop listening to this!

[@Peter-wk4th]

Well... Let's just be honest. This is the best talk-show. Period.

[@sebastianalegria3401]

Mathias Bangsgaard this James's people are fucking good genius, for u what is ur favorite section from late show?

Gary Faulkner no for every skit monologue and carpool karaoke he ever was in

lol they are such great singers. And wow this video is a *PERFECT* recreation of the original video! 😂 😇 And LMAO his hair gets longer xD :p

[@cdelani]

Wow!! They are so talented

[@fotuto13]

I came here expecting it to be funny, not good.

[@amywinn3301]

I think they just mean like it's seriously good as oppose to a kinda silly parody...

[@hello-qp1ge]

LOLOLOL

[@SuuzieQ]

can't you see their clothes and hair are changing? :p Parsons hair is getting longer and longer and James his blouse is suddenly a dress. Until the point they're nothing but DUST IN THE WIND.

[@brandoncriner5480]

You could do a video of the Kansas members just watching this video and seeing their reaction. Genius stuff here.

[@d.b.6971]

Haha the best one so far!

Kayla Washington bitch fuck off

[@scratchedrecords4562]

As a Kansas fan for decades, all I can say is....BRAVO!!

It's such a faithful rendition of a beautiful, poignant, melancholy song, that the video was almost over before I realized there actually is a joke in there after all.

damn, I really like this version! it sounds really good!

[@kevinthunder3375]

he's been singing for years. He used to star in Musical Theatre and he's been in a few Hollywood musicals, such as "Into The Woods"

[@gedias1]

Listen to his a cappella sing off battle with Anna Kendrick.

[@gedias1]

Tom Jones Dude, that was uncalled for. Grow up.

[@tomjones7447]

Geddo oh I'm sorry are you going to your safe space now? Don't forget your blanky.

[@gedias1]

Tom Jones Nothing to do with security. Learn some manners.

[@jackiester6268]

No words for this...

[@DakkaDakkaDakkaWaagh]

James such a legit singer haha

[@baconweiser]

He's done Broadway shows and was also in the movie musical " Into the Woods "

[@Aloha-and-utopia]

I know Into the woods got poor reviews, but I just saw it and like it.

[@SerenityReceiver]

Really great singing by Mr. Corden.

[@lovesfulllife]

They really captured the spirit of it....

Gandalf has learned a thing or two about guitars, I see.

[@lunams7]

Too funny!! I also had to laugh because in the first shot of Parsons playing the violin he was playing the bow wrong and then the next shot it was correct! Lol!

[@zoejeremy9671]

I thought Jim was using his hair as an instrument this whole time.

[@mikecook1238]

You guys def have all the props from the movie Gentlemen Broncos .... Awesome flick!

[@felicityliao1965]

Haha I didnt notice what was wrong until halfway through the vide

[@ZTNZL]

the fact that James Corden has his hands out is fucking hilarious hahaha
