Jimmy Fallon- Reading Rainbow (Track Only)

[@the_laybacks]

I have never heard the original version of this song. And hearing just the recorded track, without seeing the video, totally just sounds like the Doors doing a Doors song.

[@rwnroadrunner]

Jimmy you are getting better and better all the time, you are a rising STAR of the future!

[@MrJambeaux]

I first heard this 3 days ago, now I have a new level of respect for Fallon. Its as if he is channeling Morrison. Just unbelievable talent!

[@BobbyFett3994]

Jimmy Fallon is just SICK with this! Spot on impression of Morrison. Unbelievable!! Fallon's talent is phenomenal!!

[@themusicmaniac84]

I'm seriously impressed by this.

[@integral]

Suddenly this is the best thing on the planet.

[@jaycie.m]

he brought back my childhood, in such a cool, original way

[@MuttonChopYaz]

Jimmy Fallon is one of the greatest entertainers of our time.

[@kmp2111]

legendary.

[@DaPobster]

i love how the song came out. i cant get enough of it. i wish i had a copy without the crowd screaming and laughin

[@prietabella21]

Lol! Love this!! He needs to make an album. Seriously... Jimmy is good!

[@greengreen2700]

There are parts that resemble the end, when the music's over, and not to touch the earth; the most doorsiest doors songs. These guys knew their stuff.

[@GrandFunker]

Pure magic! Makes me want to dig out my Doors records, and read "There's a Monster at the End of This Book" Grover kicked ass!

[@gavacho131313]

Freaking awesome. Jimmy Fallon is amazing.

[@DudeinGA]

Hearing the song sung like Jim Morrison just makes it sound dirty. "I can fly twice as high" indeed.

[@chocolatechipcookiesareyum8637]

this is really good

[@SavageShooter93]

JIMMY NEEDS TO TOUR AS A JIM MORRISON COVER, HE ROCKS THE SHIT OUT OF READING RAINBOW WHAT WOULD HE DO TO ROADHOUSE BLUES!

[@TheRedeyeriko]

He sounded just like him very talented!

[@guitarman391]

Awesome! Get down Jimmy.

[@blubabe85]

simply amazing :D

[@Tr0n3000]

@GrandsonofSoul Such passion!

[@Matisaro]

wow, awesome

[@buzzerson]

haha. I just realized this isn't an actual Doors song, but the theme song from that kids program "Reading Rainbow" done up in the style of The Doors. Frigging amazing job by JF and the band. This song is one of the best Doors songs never recorded by the Doors.. haha. I'd put it up there with any of there stuff, and this is coming from a Doors fan.

[@unclebuchs]

EPIC.

[@SnarkyBark1]

Wow!

[@The3Stooges]

DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT JIMMY FALLON SHOUTS AT THE END AT 2:52? I have this album on CD and the song on 45 when it was first released as limited edition on Record Store Day and I've never been able to make out what he says there. Many Thanks and a Gold Star 🌟 to anyone who can figure it out...

[@ordermind]

Hint: Someone has mentioned the line in the comments, in caps. Happy hunting!

[@TXMattMabe]

That little "SHE DON'T LIKE IT!!!" at the very end is the best.

[@Anna03041998]

i soooooo have to get tabs for this!!!

[@Ifoundthisoffensive]

I heard this on the radio today and I thought the radio host was being sarcastic when he said it wasn't The Doors. It was Jimmy Fucking Fallon! Singing one of my childhood theme songs? Holy crap!

[@adamjg4]

When the reading's over... turn out the lights, turn out the lights, turn out the lights.

[@saraholguin2523]

his performance was so freakn funny lol

[@miningguy12]

@jizmacdacusha just watch the video in HD, makes the audio quality much better... turns out there isn't much of a difference with this song though

[@Bowwjack]

He sounds so much like Jim Morrison it is scary I have yet to see the video but wow just wow.

[@topographic1973ify]

Fallon could tour and have a band of acolytes following him around the country believing the spirit of Jim Morrison was alive once more.

[@froggijoy87]

@jizmacdacusha you can hear the pixels! :P

[@SavageShooter93]

@jizmacdacusha if you look on the bottom right of the screen next to the full screen button there is a number it will be 340 thats the resolution click it and a menu pops up go to at least 720 HD if you cant figure it out after this i cant help you noone can

[@johnnyballenatl]

@prietabella21 Or a duet of that song with Mr. Reading Rainbow himself, LeVar Burton!

[@WolfataDoor]

Anyone who says Jimmy Fallon isn't talented or is hack, needs to shut the fuck up and listen to this because I'm still in awe from his impression.

[@bruceleedisciple]

The Doors should take him on tour.

[@Tr0n3000]

Legend has it Jimmy struck a deal with the Devil so the spirit of Jim Morrison would possess his body for that night. Pass it on.

[@atmadc68]

lolol great stuff

[@danlewis84]

But you don't have to take my word for it

[@adamjg4]

...or "When the Reading's Over"

[@GrandsonofSoul]

It's so hilarious when he takes it up a notch in the chorus. But this is one entertaining, talented dude though.

[@timayyNYC]

someone sign this man to a contract lol, hes pretty good

[@DMSProduktions]

Listen in 'HD'? LOL!

[@lynch1956]

As good as it gets for a Doors fan!

[@adamjg4]

I want Fallon to do more Doors!

[@HawklordLI]

I'm a huge Doors fan and don't even like Jimmy Fallon, but damn has he got Morrison's voice down pat!

[@Ledzepchick79]

I just walk around singing this all day, lol. Its random seeing a little black girl running around screaming this all day. I feel bad for my roommate, lol. GO FALLON.

[@martingardner9124]

The monster at the end of the book is Grover.

[@goodpostit]

awesome version. jimmy fallon is hilarious. my favorite he sings is idiot boyfriend

[@thSubliminalCriminal]

the lyrics aren't really Jim Morrison but they are so close that Reading Rainbow could have been a Doors song.

[@OddOneOut665]

How about a hand for Jimmy PHALLUS, everybody! :D XD

[@RobPierce103]

he should seriously join the doors for a reunion tour lol

[@legend3061]

No video? No thumbs up

[@radiotete1e2]

8 people are not cultured for 2 reason: they don't know who The Doors are and they've never seen Reading Rainbow.

[@CalandrielAurealin]

I really think he would have made a better Morrison than Val Kilmer did in that biopic.

[@PC4USE1]

Fallon as a musical impressionist is superb-not so much as a talk show host.

[@adamjg4]

Sounds like a real Doors song ****

[@njcencee]

Not bad. Actually they nailed the impersonation of Ray Manzarek better.

[@TrashPanda5150]

Watch the video for this. I'm totally heterosexual but wtf was going on with that damn bulge in Fallon's pants? O.o And btw, I think Fallon does a better Morrison than Morrison did.

[@legend3061]

Here,s that thumbs down you ordered:
