This is a couple of months old, as it was apparently the last segment on the last episode of Jimmy Fallon's "Late Night" before he took the reins of the Tonight Show. Why this is an interesting cover:

1. It's a cover of "The Weight" by one of the all-time best groups, The Band.
2. It's not just a cover of "The Weight", it's shot to ape the filmed performance of "The Weight", featuring The Band and The Staples Singers, that was included in the best concert film ever, "The Last Waltz".
3. Jimmy sings it with Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem.

I love the internet.

EDIT: Ugh, that used to work for posting youtube videos, apparently it doesn't anymore?

EDIT: Fixed!

That justs makes me angry, I did not like that cover. I think I'd like their own music perfectly fine, but no, not that adaptation.

My mind isn't changed. God I like it.
