Cheerleaders!

funny... :lol

He actually dances JUST LIKE Mike,,,,,  :o

That was really good and funny. Jimmy even had Mike's dance moves down perfectly. Everyone was playing the correct instruments and I think the guy playing Dennis was drumming left handed. Cool too that they did it in black and white. Very cool! :)

Loved watching this. Jimmy's lovester moves were spot on.

Fun, fun, fun at the hamburger stand….

Off topic, but last time Kevin Bacon was on the Tonight Show, he parodied Footloose.  :-D

Better Al, Carl, and Dennis than in "Love and Mercy".

Who else thinks Brian would prefer this version?

That was fun..and funny. I think Kevin Bacon attended the L&M premiere in Los Angeles. I suspect his a BW fan and I'm pretty sure Fallon is too.

And we also ordered Fries with our burgers at the hamburger stand now!!!!!

It ain't deep but it sure is funny

These were clearly Brian's first-draft lyrics, before Mike made them "relatable."

Now that I think about it, they could well be Brian's first-draft lyrics for most of his songs, up to today ...

So, how many degrees of separation is Brian from Kevin Bacon?  :lol

Many thanks for the link -- I love Fallon's parodies and this was a great one!

As a musician, I believe two -- Jon Bon Jovi, the co-author of "Summer's Gone" is a guest on the Bacon Brothers' first album.

As for acting, I believe three -- Brian appeared on the "The New Leave it to Beaver," which featured Barbara Billingsley,  who according to Legacy.com, appeared "in 1987's Back to The Beach ... with David Bowe, who was in A Few Good Men (1992) with Kevin Bacon."

And by that you mean go-go dancers.

And go-go dancers on Shindig and The TAMI Show were a far cry from Mike's Beach Boys Cheerleaders(!)

You can tell from this and their appearance in 2012 that Fallon is a huge BB fan.  I love how they captured that old Black and White video look with HD cameras.

'Apollo 13' with Tom Hanks who was in 'Castaway' with a ball called 'Wilson'.  :lol

Most excellent and fun!

Fun fun fun perhaps but not funny funny funny sorry.  Dumb works sometimes but -- oh well I appreciate the effort!  The Lovester dance moves are definitely the highlight!

Here is Mike's response:

On the subject of Jimmy being a BB/BW fan, everyone remember this from this past March?

AGD's favorite song of all time, just kidding!

Not working for me, what am I  doin wrong?

Fallon sounds soooooooooooooo much better than myKe luHv.  :p

I never saw that, that's pretty deep. Almost like a video Ontor would create or something. :)

+1... the best thing about this is the brunette in the back. Huzzah!

Kevin Bacon is even "playing" the bass with his thumb like Brian does...nice...he makes a pretty good young Brian, actually, especially considering he's like 50-something I guess.

Fallon is a good dude.

Only slightly dumber than the actual lyrics!

Good lord, thank God the BB’s didn’t travel with a video screen in the late 80’s and early 90’s. Otherwise, there would have been nightly detours to screen clips from “Full House” episodes. “See, we’re relevant with the kids!”

That said, and I’m not a huge Fallon fan, his “Mike” impression is pretty funny in terms of the dance moves. For more “accuracy”, I would have told Bacon not to have the bass strapped on so low; that’s a common mistake modern re-enactments of 60’s scenes make, to have the guitarists and bass players holding their guitars like they’re a 90’s grunge band.

But it’s not too often, well, *ever*, to see a BB-inspired comedy bit, so this was pretty fun.

Couldn't help but notice that the guy playing Carl looks a lot like the guy who played Brian in Summer Dreams.

that's AD Miles (who can be seen in the new Wet Hot American Summer Netflix series!)

Doesn't beg for a teleprompter-- could just write "Fun x3" and "hamburger stand" on one's hand.

This, on the other hand, is funny.

Check out how much these two TV personalities look alike. I was watching the Food Network Star show last night, and this host was one of the judges. I forgot how much he and Fallon could pass for brothers at least. I'm far from the first to point it out, but this is hilarious. Witness Jimmy Fallon of NBC and Jeff "The Sandwich King" Mauro of the Food Network:

I wouldn't be happy if I were Kevin Nealon. 

IMO, Kevin Nealon was 10X funnier on SNL's Weekend Update than both Fallon and Seth Meyers.  Yet, Fallon and Meyers were given the keys to NBC Tonight Show and Late Night. 

Maybe if Kevin had better timing.
