[@fluffymaster5489]

27 year old Jimmy Fallon is a gift to this world. God bless him

Hell yeah, I still find him very attractive. Lucky grandma!

[@bwold9138]

He looks so young!!

[@GorgonzolaChedda]

Is that a 22 year old Zooey Deschanel as his girlfriend?

[@flowersinmyhair55]

Omg I remembered when this first came out. Every time I say "I'm an idiot" when I do something stupid, I have the urge to finish with..."and I'm your boyfrrrraaaand". Lmao. Good times jimmy.

[@ashleyoya]

Yes this was my jam

[@adamwyker4800]

Did the same...nobody ever got it. Every time I hear Swanson's Dinner I add "witch-yo name on it..." Ironically Jimmy's g/f name is "Samantha."

[@coriannaaa4376]

That's exactly why I'm here right now. 2017. Someone said "I'm an idiot." And here I am...

[@LilPorcelynDoll]

Everytime my phone rings I laugh and think of him saying pick up the phone.

[@annapaulinamedinacastillo6160]

+LilPorcelynDoll when somebody is cooking I will say Hey baby You like fine cooking?

[@sml5268]

This song so needs to be on the charts right now. We need a good laugh song!! Way to go Haley Williams for bringing this song back up. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@jafjavier4939]

i think Hayley's rendition is so good, hope they record a new version together

Not when you were broke in the early 2000's it wasnt

[@regina_filange2.0]

I remember this so vividly. Pops in my head every once in a while. Decided to look it up. Had NO idea Zoey Deschanel was the girlfriend. Still hilarious

[@sithari518]

God, me too. I was in like 10th grade. MTV played it over and over. Whenever I see him now, even a picture, this comes to mind immediately. Can't remember him from anything else, even though this was the lead up to his VMA hosting gig that year.

[@Fortyjustice]

Same!

[@Mechachu]

The "honk your horn" part always invades my brain lol

[@bradcorban]

@@sithari518 That VMA hosting gig was out of this world. I downloaded that pre-KZbin to watch it on repeat.

I remember watching this when it first came on this channel called MTV, they use to play all kinds of music videos 😂

[@PrettyNicca]

This came out over a decade ago and has never truly left my head..especially when I hear the word Norelco 😂

[@coffeecardiogoddess]

“Hey baby, you like fine cooking? Because I got a Swanson dinner, in the freezer, with your name on it.” 😂😂 best line in a song ever 😂

[@amberhi874]

Lmao!!!!!

[@judah1911]

My favorite is.. I'm gone take you out!! Leave my wallet home!!! Then I use your cellphone, babyyy. Long distance😎😂

[@coffeecardiogoddess]

@@judah1911 a close second favorite!

[@toastedjoe1013]

Just realized this is based on Prince's "I Wanna Be Your Lover". Could never figure out why Fallon was singing so high pitched

[@KathyAnn1978]

Also inspired by Leo Sayer "You Make Me Feel Like Dancing".

[@labonniecarter6568]

Prince when doves cry video

[@frazier009]

Several different videos

[@selalewis9189]

It’s mostly based on Beck’s “Debra”

[@crystalp7242]

I’d call it a pastiche (just a fancy way to say “send-up” or “tribute”) to a bunch of ‘80s R&B and funk music, including Prince. I’m not sure which music video the “Bubbles” scenes parody, but the one with the white set is definitely a spoof on “Every Little Step” by Bobby Brown (which I think was late ‘80s or very early ‘90s), and the “Lasers” section parodies “Rock With You” by Michael Jackson.

[@halleyscomet5696]

jimmy is so cute when he was young soooo cute

[@agustinagavazzi4777]

Halleys Comet Yes sooo cute

[@CodyCole80]

Halleys Comet ... He still is. 😏

[@silky8267]

The grandma in the video thinks so too

[@FlatThumb]

Just watched this from Hayley WIlliams interview. I am glad they mentioned this. WHAT A JAM.

[@MaiCohWolf]

Everybody's talking about Zooey Deschanel but nobody's gonna talk about how Happy Gilmore's nana is right there?

Yeah, not SNL. I remember it clearly when the album came out, "The Bathroom Wall", because my older brother bought it. I was the first time I heard of Jimmy. It was in 2002 and I was 14, ahhh good times. There was a lot of material from comedy skits on the album as well I believe.

I wonder how come none of Jimmy's guest ever bring this up when being interviewed by him lol

[@selalewis9189]

Justin Timberlake did once, during his Late Night run. People in the audience stood up and sang with him. Jimmy kinda laughed and rolled his eyes.
