First Drafts of Rock: "American Woman" by The Guess Who (w/ Kevin Bacon)

[@akki015]

I can't thank Jimmy and Kevin enough for these comedy golds.

[@Melina-fi3sc]

Best duo ever 😃

[@JK-zz4ip]

I agree. I watch these at least twice a year, every time they make me laugh.

[@markponn9622]

Amen to that! 💯🐶

[@kkshady]

seriously. they synch soooo freakn well together in these series. kevin bacon is such a wonderful personality

[@elizabethholis237]

I gone down thru the KZbin rabbit hole, watching all of the First Drafts, and enjoyed them, then click this and when Kevin said his first verse, I lost it. Dang that was funny!!!

[@hollymeg2861]

I was in the audience for this taping of this episode. Seeing this live was awesome! They did two takes of this bit.

[@Every_Day_islike_Sunday]

Wow lucky you!!

[@madpriest7822]

haha which take was better this one or the other one

[@hollymeg2861]

@@madpriest7822 couldn't tell the difference but I'm guessing this one. I think they wanted more audience reaction for the show.

[@jamimarie6117]

I love when him and Kevin Bacon get together. Always non stop laughter

[@iSaDoesMinecraft]

"Mexican tutor, teach me Chinese" hahaha

[@jessicaluffman375]

[@RebeccaMooreFrey]

You guys cracked me up the whole way through! Hysterical! Love the attention to detail

[@wishingweyward]

Bahaha the bass player was my dad, Bill Wallace! I can’t wait to show him this.

[@maridinchisty1127]

That's cool

[@csaw1270]

Prove it

[@nonamehere4601]

calvin sawyer I guess I could take the time to produce my birth certificate and many photos of myself and my dad while I was growing up, tour memorabilia he’s given to my kids etc. But thankfully I actually don’t have to prove anything to you. 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@zacharyjohnson6453]

Lol awesome, if that's true.. I'm sure he'll love this lol

[@perpetual61]

Jimmy Fallon as Burton Cummings from the Guess Who on their appearance from 1974 on The Midnight Special.

[@windtalkerxx]

Jimmy & Bacon... I totally lost it!! 🤪🤙🏻🤣

[@emilys3757]

Kevin Bacon is ageless!

[@humanearthling1484]

I can't believe how well he sings!

[@MisterGravelrama]

As Phillip Seymour Hoffman said in Almost Famous, "Jim Morrison was a drunken buffoon posing as a poet, give me the Guess Who! They had the courage to be drunken buffoons, which made them poetic!"

[@sheilabowman3256]

I don’t know how they can keep a straight face! 😂

[@trueknowledgeispower]

He learned it from the Leslie Neilsen School of Straight Face Acting.

[@leandroisaac2000]

Always good hearing and seeing Jimmy Fallon and his friends singing

[@valem1507]

Jimmy Fallon is one of a kind.His my late night king.

[@shantacallaway1742]

Val Em i love Jimmy Fallon who's amazing person ever

[@priyanshuofficial]

That sounded a bit sexual 😂😂😂

[@shantacallaway1742]

Priyanshu Sharma what are you talking about

[@valem1507]

Shanta Callaway boo to you for asking

[@shantacallaway1742]

Val Em i thought you were saying something else

[@swalker412]

This is one of my favorites of all the first drafts of rock and roll. ❤

[@PrincessRiners]

i can't imagine anybody else but jimmy doing this haha. this is epic.

[@kv_priya]

What about gullmerio ( I don’t know how to spell his name) the dude from Jimmy Kimmel

[@valem1507]

PrincessRiners Thank you!!! ONLY Jimmy can cross the line, and still be sexy GREY.

[@bundttrundler]

Fallon nailed Burton Cummings' late '74 look.

[@crescentfreshbret]

Tyson Webb He’s kinda got the 1967 Gary Brooker (Procol Harum) look, too.

[@jondaniels4325]

Give him round glasses and he could be '67 Lennon

[@southernoregoncatmom6519]

Yes!

[@Terminus_El_Camino]

The Guess Who frequently have many versions of their songs; I wouldn't be that surprised if this was one of them. It needs the acoustic intro though.

[@kath471]

It's the hilarious dancing at the end that gets me every time!! Alongside the hysterical lyrics, this never fails to crack me up!! 😂😂😂

[@CharliesDaughter]

Turkish bee keeper, I didn't think I could laugh any harder...every line..."Latvian midwife, won't you breathe with me.." , I was choking with laughter

[@KristinaaQueen1]

I'm so glad that they are singing these old rock songs.. the only way kids these days will hear this amazing song even it's a parody.Cheers

[@rockalliance8815]

Jimmy is actually a great Rock singer, let me know if you ever want to hit the studio! 👊🏼😎

[@jacklayton34]

Love it, from a north end Winnipegger!

[@bobbyeasterby8796]

This was so epic, so good, just... Amazing!

[@scottduncan8775]

They don't mention it in any credits, but isn't that guitar player Kevin's brother Michael?!

[@BonJovi022110]

Yes it is

[@yolanda8563]

Kevin Bacon "The Greatest Avenger"

[@lehmanaudioclub]

Hi, It's Michael from the Bacon Brothers. Normally, the Roots play all the instruments but I played all of my guitar parts. It was so much fun! I look good in wigs.

[@TheUnofficialGuessWhoArchive]

The costumes are pretty accurate, I'll give them that.

[@lcrochetlovechild7047]

Im back this were come to get my laugh on💖💖💖🌹🌹🌹🙌😔👏👏😀😀😃😁😁😜😜😂 and i love jimmy Fallon

[@happymv5350]

[@pauldouglas2577]

So so so ridiculous!!! LOVE IT!!!

[@chris7574]

Wow. Just wow.

[@LeoMessiGoat1986]

Fallon's voice ain't too bad at all

[@kellymckinney5082]

Jim Fallon looks good in a white suit.

[@evanrasmussen6572]

This is jimmy’s strength when he does skits and musical parody’s(minus the bob Dylan one) this is when he shines above the rest of the late night hosts. In an entertainment atmosphere polluted with low hanging trump bashing jokes and unfunny political rant snoozfests it’s nice to get some good ole fashion humor and entertainment. Very refreshing.

[@ShawnLH88]

Evan Rasmussen aw a cry baby with an IQ too low to understand political jokes so you flock to simplistic humor Gold star for you

[@evanrasmussen6572]

Shawn, aw im so sorry, was my comments theme to hard to grasp? It’s not what type of joke but it’s the same joke being repeated over and over that’s the problem. If you recall which I doubt you do cause your comment suggests you’re 12 years old or you wrote your comment on the short bus on the way to bag groceries, the same thing happened with George W. He was lampooned nightly and it got old and now trump jokes are old. Sorry I didn’t dumb my initial comment down for you I’ll keep people like you in mind next time.

[@jacknick7582]

your comment is so predictable i fell asleep reading

[@evanrasmussen6572]

jack nick. ugh a comment nay a paragraph long was so predictable I could hardly bare to humor to read it before being overcome by exhaustion (hand goes over the forehead as jack faints). I didn’t know comment sections were where you sought bastions stimulating philosophical nuggets and where bathed in the well springs of creative intrigue that enveloped you into pure mental ecstasy. Ya jackass.

[@HudaefCares]

I might be 2 years late to your comment, but I agree. It does get tiring to watch night after night of political jokes and rants, makes you think that it's all there is to late night shows. It's not about IQ unlike what that other comment said, it's about a diverse entertainment experience. What's wrong about wanting something else?

[@mick40jb]

Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy__Do more of Jim Morrison!

[@deannalovesss]

Lol Jimmy's content is hilarious

[@howardtennenhouse7849]

White suit and lineup is a parody of Guess Who’s appearance on midnight special in (I think) 1974

[@susieabbott4693]

I keep watching this to see jimmy kicking backwards. 😆

[@dianaallison6110]

What a crack-up 😄. Love Burton Cummings & the Guess Who's version..& this one made me laff so hard. Great parody! 😄😄🎃🎃

[@stephanlarsen8169]

I'll keep saying it. Jimmy is the goat. Better than Carson Letterman Leno Conan Kimmel Corden Colbert. Sing dance laughing creative and the Roots. Plus SNL for sit years. Number one late night host. Need I say more. National treasure. Jah rastafari

[@thesilvershining]

I don’t know if Jimmy’s the best (that’s opinion) but he’s definitely my favorite!

Classic Jimmy at its finest

I wish he'd do another album

[@alemontreemydearwatson9775]

He let slip he's working on one atm...Shhhhh ;)

[@BeaverVision]

Pretty sure this is the wrong era of the Guess Who that they've based their look on, but it's still quite good.
