Christina Aguilera x Jimmy Fallon x The Roots

Here’s what I missed on Jimmy Fallon’s episode of Late Night last night. As soon as I saw that Christina Aguilera was a guest, I thought I could pass, but covering her single “Your Body” with office supplies is pretty funny.

It’s just not as funny as them covering Carly Rae Jepsen’s “Call Me Maybe” with children’s instruments.

Carly Rae Jepsen – Call Me Maybe (Cosmic Dawn Radio Edit)

I still…kind of really like this song, but I especially enjoy this remix.
