Jimmy Fallon Graces Audiences with an R.Kelly ‘Ignition’ Rem
Janelle Savel — February 28, 2014 — Pop Culture
Jimmy Fallon has only been hosting the Tonight Show for two evenings, and already his skits have gone viral; to add to the soon-to-be long list of must-sees is his R.Kelly Ignition remix.
It’s hard to imagine ‘Ignition’ being even more catchy, but Fallon along with some help from The Ragtime Gals, remixed this tune in a harmonized, tuneful and cheeky fashion. The four are depicted in classic quartet apparel, complete with bow ties and straw top hats. In classic Fallon wit, he ushered in the quartet with the Ignition introduction as a spoken lyric, followed by a single harmonica note, and then the magic happened.
The entire skit is done a capella, making it obvious that Fallon is more than just a funny man, he’s charming, talented and so melodic.
