Drake and Bob Dylan might not seem like a musical match.
And yet, thanks to Jimmy Fallon, the world now knows that they are indeed a perfect pair. On NBC's The Tonight Show Wednesday, the host 41-year-old performed the 29-year-old rapper's "Hotline Bling" in the vein of the 74-year-old rock legend. Dressed as Dylan and with a guitar in hand, he delighted viewers and audience members inside Studio 6-B alike as he gave the song a folksy makeover. "Ever since I left the city, you / You and me we just don't get along / You make me feel like I did you wrong / Going places where you don't belong," Fallon (as Dylan) crooned.
As YouTube commenters pointed out, Fallon's dexterity seems to be back. His ring finger appeared healed after a freak accident over the summer that nearly resulted in an amputation.
"Our performance tonight was LIVE. For real - this was live. Hope you like it. #DylanSingsDrake," Fallon tweeted after the performance aired. In a follow-up tweet, the host wrote, "Wardrobe, hair and make-up plus writing and directing equals #dylansingsdrake #fallontonight."
Wednesday wasn't the first time Fallon has done an impression of Dylan, as he mimicked the musician for a cover of the Charles in Charge theme song on his 2012 album, Blow Your Pants Off. In previous episodes of The Tonight Show, Fallon has done impressions of Bruce Springsteen, Neil Young and the late David Bowie. Fallon is the latest in a growing list of entertainers to cover Drake's song, following Erykah Badu, Justin Bieber, Sam Smith and Sufjan Stevens.
The only thing missing from Fallon's cover? Drake's dance moves.
The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon airs weeknights at 11:35.
