Maya Rudolph is actually a very talented singer, but she holds back so much, because she said she doesn't want to be compared to her mother.

[@miyapapayax]

Legion Ivory that's such a shame too. very few people can sing like Minnie Riperton could, I really wish she would sing for real just sometimes. only people with true vocal talent can throw it around and play with it the way she does, you know?

[@benice3268]

It must be tough being born into fame and fortune lol

[@user-zr6jm4ld9l]

Have you listened to The Rentals? The band she was in with Matt Sharpe from Weezer? It was a fun synth-based pop group.

[@LegionIvory]

@@benice3268 How nice is it when you lose your mother at the age of 6, and you're only left with vague memories and a crushing legacy everyone demands you be part of?

[@LegionIvory]

@@user-zr6jm4ld9l No, I haven't, but I'll definitely give them an ear. Thanks! 😊

[@bubbleworship]

Maya has a beautiful voice. I just learnt who her mother was. Incredible.

[@Henderburn2]

She seems like the outcome of some project to build the perfect person.

[@dori-jamesmedlin1630]

This is still the definitive version of this song

[@joemcguire9988]

In the moment of the song, it really seems like Paul is really in love with whoever he is singing with at the time. And he gets a little bit of it back just because of his charisma. He’s a consummate showman and I hate that he’s not more of a household name.

[@warrenjayquiblat8597]

PAUL F TOMPKINS GAP IN HIS TOOTH ☺❤

[@najtrows]

paul should do a "the last waltz" type movie where he sings with friends.. i would buy that in a second!

[@nra4ever1973]

One of the most joyous KZbin vids I keep returning to.

[@kenyaayala7687]

maya is hilarious and can sing!

[@jayonez13]

kenya Ayala Maya is Minnie Rippleton's daughter!

[@Ultramoose]

Home is whenever Paul sings.

[@adamrogers705]

I wish I could thumbs up again and again. PFT makes me so happy.

[@notime4sanity]

Smiles don't come easily for me of late. But this makes me smile every time I listen. Thank you.

[@Sifeus]

Hey bud it's been near a decade. Hope you're doing better.

[@teresabinkley295]

This made me feel warm and happy inside

[@gabrielaestrada1551]

She inherited her mom's talent😊😊

[@scottbrown2252]

I'm telling my kids this was Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros

[@derekbonniksen4332]

There's no more lovely bit of respite from the other 99% of KZbin. Thanks to everyone who was a part of this.

[@Persilchen]

some of my favorite people performing one of my favorite songs. this is beyond amazing, bless the internet for the opportunity to enjoy such events when you are on the other side of the planet.

[@janiehaddad]

Swoon!!!

[@amycuaresma]

PFK is so humble - can't get enough of him singing. His character, Burntrand "Burnt" Millipede, on The Neighborhood Listen Podcast claims he can not sing -well he can sing but just one note.

[@robpicken6769]

Thank you Paul. I was having a shitty day and whilst trying to find your Hamilton cover I came upon this. You and Maya truly brightened my day. Thank you.

[@henriettahudson3006]

I'm waiting for Maya Rudolph to put out a music CD!!!

[@locozildjiangodx]

Your "heys" > The Lumineers. Awesome job you two!

[@123cowsmoo]

"For Janie" so sweet! Love these two

[@banksy8081]

What a cool song

[@hopef7781]

I love the moment at 2:50 when they're all looking at each other trying to nail the timing of the "Hey"'s. The drummer smiling at Paul.

[@DoctorGeniusPHD]

PFT makes my life better in more ways than I could know

[@kateys2344]

I love maya and her voice omg😍

[@beccawilson5678]

Maya Rudolph really good for Rebecca

[@trikywu]

I was at this show, and it was magic!

[@noemitoo]

I love this for so many reasons. I come here on a weekly basis.

[@Podus81]

It's so beautiful

[@Peakfreud]

Always been a fan of Maya her mom was awesome

[@aquablue1252]

shes sooo beautiful

[@starryxblue]

Maya's voice is so beautiful

[@jaradeblackmon7350]

I just love her SHES THE POODLE

[@supaikusupigeru9421]

Boy this makes me happy.

[@adamrogers705]

I keep rewatching this. It's just so good! Easily my favorite version out there.

[@mesablack420]

Mr. Tompkins I have been a fan of yours for a decent amount of time, and honestly this might be the best I have ever seen you be. The people of Largo are lucky to have your presence.

[@wietog]

LOVE YOU PAUL AND MAYA!!!

[@senoj.rednaxela]

Connie the Hormone Monstress and Mr. Peanutbutter singing together? Best crossover ever

[@Teofane]

And they can whistle too!

[@Wernerfcarvalho]

This video brings me a smile every time that I watch it.

[@Wernerfcarvalho]

Still working. After 6 years.

[@amandanunes517]

I love you. And I am very happy for share those moments when you smile with me.

[@beccawilson5678]

Maya Rudolph she is amazing girl

[@beccawilson5678]

Maya Rudolph she is my little princess

[@Teofane]

I love this! It's almost unfair how talented they both are.

[@bigal6442]

GODAMN!! That was beautiful

[@Bitoru]

Home is whenever I'm listening to the Thompkast.

[@picklepickleton175]

I think at times we forget she has her mums gift. They are so different sounding and that’s okay, maya has a sound of her own and I think her mum would be happy with that.

[@longunderwear2339]

PFFT! This was ridiculous. And by that i mean, Paul F Fucking Tompkins this was ridiculously awesome.

[@Temuville]

Wow! They both sound so great.

[@electrojones]

More -much more- of this, please.

[@jasonwheeler5122]

They did a great job performing this song.

[@Zackathor]

beautiful.

[@elbowspeak]

Glorious!

[@easykial]

This is an example of the algorithms succeeding

[@ljpayne9747]

How I never seen this? It made my vax sick better ❤

[@beccawilson5678]

Maya Rudolph she had a gift she is amazing singing she will be my musical mother too Rebecca

[@garylucy24]

What a completely charming performance! Kudos to all involved.

[@mjkeogh]

Most pleasant!

[@CreativelyPhoenix]

You can tell she’s not comfortable being on stage in this capacity but wow she’s good 😊 I have to imagine having a mother with a legendary voice must come with a lot of pressure. All the greats, we have a natural curiousity if their kid(s) can sing and even more so if their kid(s) will sing like them. I’d listen to a CD of Maya’s if she ever decided to put her voice out there in that capacity.

[@jasonheidrich4179]

She was in the rentals.. played the keys drums and sang.

[@josephinemengel]

that was just lovely

[@jariika]

I

[@vandeand]

Amazing.

[@bruce_adams]

So fun!

[@shakeitup6789]

This is awesome!!!

[@bendabrenda698832]

This is amazinggggg

[@logancrapser3866]

Two people who I already considered insanely talented, and this video amplifies their skills to a level so rare these days.

[@abbeybon]

I just like it! :))

[@elenamarie16]

This is fantastic!

[@beccawilson5678]

My adopted stepmother Maya Rudolph so sweet of her do something special for her stepdaughter royal dinner dancing ballroom me and her be crowned queen and princess

[@vlex756]

Well now I know!!!!

[@ScorttBepis]

Whoa.

[@petesalzl1]

legit moved by this, you two are wonderful.

[@LuqaS15]

Remember about Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros! Buy the CD/vinyl. One of the best bands of the 21st century.

[@odradekk]

Remember happiness ?

[@beccawilson5678]

She is my best friend

[@laurenlall]

Ahh, Paul, you are charming.

[@DennisMcCarson]

Thank all the Gods that religious people believe in for this glorious video!

[@blackburn55]

I know this song from Community!

[@beccawilson5678]

she is so talented so beautiful the way she is I care about her I needed her please be more careful you’re saying about her behind her back

[@norwegianblue64]

Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic WHO?

[@vintage7919]

Is it only me that thinks the maya reminds me of leigh -allyn baker (aka amy duncan from good luck charlie) 👀🤔🙋‍♀️🤷‍♀️

[@whiterose137929]

Awwrhhh :')

[@longunderwear2339]

Also is that john c reilly or paul f tompkins playing john c reilly on tambourine

[@stevenraysidibe]

Does anyone know where I can download this version?

[@evieandrade6283]

Is that Gladstone Gander and Aunt Cass singing together? #ducktales #bighero6

[@sallybooker3541]

My baby girl name is Maya but after Maya angelou

[@ojjo5621]

she actually has whistle register

[@valentinovega5804]

Oj Jo actually she revealed she can't hit those notes and has a low singing voice

[@ojjo5621]

watch the movie sisters she does a whistle in that movie

[@valentinovega5804]

Oj Jo that was a scream not a whistle. search her interview when asked if she can hit those notes. she said she can't

[@garrybarry4286]

"Skyfall" is peak Paul F Tompkins, everything about his rendition is great, ....here his bass is very off, but I love the man and his comedy

[@beccawilson5678]

Maya Rudolph she need Rebecca her daughter not just her children and husband

[@emilyrussell863]

They needed to coordinate on the whole "Are we looking at each other or not looking at each other" thing. I feel like Maya is mad at Paul and he's trying to win her back.

[@beccawilson5678]

Maya Rudolph she can have 5 daughter is Rebecca her own my birthday wish

[@beezwax796]

Hmmm.. Im waiting to hear a spark of her momma come out, but. Maybe its the song, I dont know.

[@beezwax796]

I should've noted that she is Minnie Ripperton's daughter.

[@stylecollective-qt9um]

Brian Hackney It's a popular indie folk-rock song, I wouldn't expect anything of Minnie to come out in a composition like this. Plus the color and tone of her voice is completely different. I love her mom, but I appreciate Maya's sense of musicality, too. Great icon pic by the way! You all are looking sharp!

[@Iwasjustthinkingg]

The Pod F. Tompkast is better though.

[@sapphirelatina]

Its so strange hearing Maya sing seriously

[@beccawilson5678]

She is pregnant with her child be more careful saying to her
