Jimmy Fallon sings 'starting to crack' on 'The Tonight Show' chronicling his quarantine struggles at home
I'm starting to crack.. I am starting to crack.. will I ever get my whole life back?" asked Jimmy Fallon in a sing-song manner at the beginning of his late-night talk show 'The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon'.
It's been quite a while now that the show's production moved out from 30 Rockefeller Plaza and instead, Fallon continued taping the show out of his home with his wife Nancy Juvonen serving as a producer and camera person for this 'at home' edition of the show.
Fallon ditched his suited look for more comfortable ones and films the show in jeans,tee-shirts, and sweaters. He has also sported unkempt hair in quite a few episodes and tonight was no different. What was different was that he exercised his vocal cords on the episode and in our opinion, the man can sing.
He put all the frustration following the week-long extension of the stay-at-home order in most states into words and created an original song out of it, a rather hilarious one at that.
Plopping down on his sofa chair with his acoustic guitar coupled with a worn-down look, Jimmy sang woefully about taking too many long showers, too many naps and drinking too much wine.
The tune was very catchy even though the lyrics were filled with mentions of him struggling with his kids' math homework, staring at the wall like he's in a trance and spending an unhealthy amount of time on TikTok to kill time.
While he did make it rhyme most of the time for example "cleaned the floor until they sparkle..read the Wikipedia for Meghan Markle", he did struggle with the words "milk, Pepsi and crack" which he initially thought "they rhyme with each other" only to later realize they don't.
He also took a swipe at the President with a line "and the President's telling me to shootout bleach." Even though the lyrics pointed at the pathos that has filled everyone's lives, the song did manage to impress as well as bring a lot of smiles to the audiences at home.
"This 'I'm starting to crack' song is a bop! @jimmyfallon @FallonTonight #FallonAtHome", read a tweet. "@jimmyfallon Thanx for singing and playing guitar again! #FallonAtHome," tweeted a fan.
Another fan tweeted, "@jimmyfallon Loved your opening song. It was right on with where we I’m at. Let’s hang in there." "Okay but Jimmy Fallon’s song be hitting hard from the tonight show" wrote another fan.
