Billy Idol joins Jimmy Fallon, The Roots for quarantine 'Dancing With Myself' on household instruments
One of the unexpected side effects of the COVID-19 pandemic is that the Billy Idol classic "Dancing With Myself" can be taken quite literally. At least that's how Jimmy Fallon and The Roots decided to interpret it for Thursday's Tonight Show. This socially distant performance, as with previous Tonight Show quarantine covers, features household instruments — a blender, plastic bottle, utensils — plus a melodica, guitar, and (this time) an acoustic bass made from what looks like a cardboard box. Fallon sings Idol's parts until Idol himself jumps in, but Fallon still sounds more like the version of Idol memorialized on his 1981 record. Watch below.
