She can try to resist, but even 17 years later, LeAnn Rimes can't fight the moonlight!

During a trip to Colorado, the 35-year-old country and pop singer recreated her famous cameo from the cult film Coyote Ugly, which sees her performing on top of a bar.

"This is what happens when your friends at @kemosabe1990 in Aspen move locations and open up a bad ass private bar upstairs and then turn on 'Can't Fight The Moonlight,'" LeAnn wrote on Instagram on Wednesday night, alongside a photo of her kneeling on top of a bar and looking up at two women dancing on it. "No one could resist! Coyote Ugly 2.0!"

Hope she didn't order water!

And no, Rimes did not wear her famous beige cropped halter top with tassels—it was far too cold. Also, it's no longer the early '00s.
