Must it always be said THE KINKS ARE NOT UNDERRATED JUST BECAUSE YOU DON'T HEAR THEM 30 YEARS LATER ON THE RADIO!! TRUST ME THEY WERE WELL THOUGHT OF BACK IN THE DAY!!
Googled the Kinks to hear the original version of this song and found a film of the Kinks' appearance on some U.S. tv show in 1970. Amazingly, the clothes the Kinks wore then and the clothes worn in this skit are EXACT replicas of one another. Big thumbs up to whoever did the wardrobe for this bit.
Kevin is one of the most underrated ppl in Hollywood and yet his career spans over 30 yrs and his family life is exemplary, a testament to his talent and character. This was executed very well by both of them :)
This is the best ever!! Jimmy is so talented and I had no idea Kevin could sing like that. I have watched this several times already! The song has been stuck in my head for 2 days.. Love, love, love it!
I'm really impressed with the recreation of the Kinks' look for the era of this album, including spot-on depictions of keyboardist John "The Baptist" Gosling and drummer Mick Avory.
Was in another room when this came on and I was thinking the actual Kinks were performing and couldn't believe it. I run to the TV and the first person I see singing is ... KEVIN BACON ?
Wow is Jimmy back? This is the first time I've seen him play guitar since his finger injury. He seems to be doing some of the chord changes but doesn't appear 100% Still, PROGRESS. Good for him, and good for humanity, the world, and the cosmic thread that connects life eternal.
I wish Jimmy would do these music sets for the whole show! Or maybe a variety show like The Carol Burnett Show. He has the skills and commercial financing to pull it off!
Funny enough, that's what the original bass part looks like! There's a Kinks video on UA-cam (what they are trying to match) and their bass player is moving like that. Props to the Tonight Show for replicating that!
Even as a parody this song is still a masterpiece. Ridiculous how underrated The Kinks are...

@@garysnow1475 I'm aware they were popular in their day, but they deserve the same reputation enjoyed by The Beatles and The Stones.
@@jonathanhenderson9422 Haha, no they don't.
@@Larrivee28 Haha, yes they do.
@@jonathanhenderson9422 Not even in the same realm as The Beatles.
As a guitar player I appreciate Bacon actually playing the right chords 95% of the time. Guy’s got chops.
Well he has a band with his brother and has released 6 albums so I'm pretty sure he knows what he's doing.
He’s been a professional musician for decades.
Hear hear 😎

It’s from Top of the Pops which is English
Lookup "Weird Al Yoda" to hear a better parody of Lola.
I love that the gear and outfits are exactly what the Kinks had, spot on.
Yes, the drummer looks and even plays so much like Mick Avory.
Kevin Bacon: is he an acting singer or a singing actor? Doesn't matter-he's great being both.
Both. He has a band.
Mr Bacon can also play the harmonica
Him and his brother hot dog have had a band most of his life

@@michaelautrey6641 no one thought that was funny but me....
How exactly is he underrated? You are stupid
Word
These two are great! These parody songs the best. Jimmy is so talented. Kevin Bacon just makes it.

Oh man, idk have you heard their version of ‘paint it black’ 😂 both are amazing but that one wins for me.
Great tribute to the greatest rock band
The Kinks!
They were good, but greatest?
The clothes and everything is perfectly accurate to the Kinks really doing it live! This is a masterpiece even though it is not the original!
I watched this on my Motorola.
M-o-t-o rola!
same
Jimmy, you are the best man! Underrated I think for how talented he is.👊
Same
I watched this with Co-rona,
C-O-RO-NA🤢
The guy on bass has clearly never played bass which adds to the absurdity of the lyrics! Amazing song and video! Love it!!
These Jimmy-Kevin collabs are hilarious. I hope they keep coming
Bacon n Fallon ..HILARIOUS! actually very talented musicians and vocalists. Love em both!!
The Kinks were coming on when I lived in the UK as a teen, always loved them. Never had the awareness they deserved but they roll on
I'm really impressed with the recreation of the Kinks' look for the era of this album, including spot-on depictions of keyboardist John "The Baptist" Gosling and drummer Mick Avory.
I had to take a second view to check that drummer here was not Mick Avory. So good.
This is so much fun, love Kevin B and LOVE anything Jimmy does 💖
The KINKS rock and so Kevin and Jimmy. Great fun! I cannot spell "doughnut"...priceless.
jimmy is so talented he always brings it
Man Kevin Bacon with hair looks just like Myles Kennedy!
Haha I thought it was him xD
OMG Right! lol
I thought it was Myles at first too. they could almost pass for twins.
Hehehe I have always thought Myles looked like a young Kevin Bacon - and this was freaky hehehe proof right there 😂🤣
I think he did it on purpose, someone told him, although he was supposed to look like a Davies?? Don't remember which....
I never fail to be impressed at how spot on Jimmy Fallon is… whether it’s music… or comedy…or his incredible impressions
Amazing! JF is always a winner and KB rocked it! Thanks for the laughs!
i love this paroday🤣, makes me want to hear more of The Kinks songs other than lola, come dancing and sunny afternoon 😁
The attention to detail is staggering! Which makes it even better - in fact it’s brilliant!
I've never laughed harder at a Jimmy Fallon song. Thank you!
They should do this every week with Kevin Bacon! Great segment :)
Mickey Holmgaard ,
I forever love this rendition in a beautifull fun way, Jimmy and kevin love you guys forever!! sheers from Chula Vista.
I was 15 years old when i saw the Kinks in concert.
Good times 😂
Love the first drafts but this is my favourite. Just hysterical.
This song has been stuck in my head all day now
Yet another reason to love Kevin Bacon. What a goddamn gem.
This is so cleverly done... And funny.. Love it!
I also love Sammy Sosa...
Brilliant jimmy and Kevin... Love from india
This is my favorite 'First drafts..' video they've done so far! Hilarious!
Being a writer on this show would be so much fun 😂
I absolutely love this. I will never listen to the original song the same, again!
So funny and they sound so good. I'd listen to anything these two sing together....
Anything you come up with you sure do it well. Never a dull moment with you! I love it! And you for what you do! Smiles everytime!🙏🏻
Was in another room when this came on and I was thinking the actual Kinks were performing and couldn't believe it. I run to the TV and the first person I see singing is ... KEVIN BACON ?
Well, according to his wife, she likes a Kinky Kevin. Wait.....or is it a Bacon Band??? 🤔 Hmmm..... 😂
I am 22 again, stoned, half in the bag and lovin life with a awesome band
I love their covers of rock songs ! I want more videos !
This is brilliant
Don’t get any better than this!!
I wish they would continue for hours...this is awesome!!!
Respect for the recreation of the Kink's TOTP appearance... They went to some effort to do this. Fun !!
Estupenda la parodia de Lola, con el sello distintivo de los fabulosos y sensacionales Kinks!!!
This is Awesome! So talented and funny.
YES!!! THEY FINALLY PUT THIS BACK UP!!!
They should do a nirvana one, Kevin bacon could pass a Kurt cobain jimmy as Dave groul ,
IceyAndTheBeast fuck yeah
yes!
IceyAndTheBeast OH shit!! you right!
IceyAndTheBeast that would be funny
Groul?
awesome. you two are my idols for real. longtime fan of Mr Bacon and Jimmy... well you're friggin Jimmy 👊😎
Jimmy could've also done music parodies like a Weird Al Yankovic! It's so retro snl type skit! Love it!😂✌
This is so well done. Fallon really is more the performer than a talk show host.
Fallon is the absolute bestest night show host. I am grinning like an idiot from start to end.
Great song! I remember singing this song and then realizing what it was about lol. I had no idea.
These guys should bring First Drafts back to the show!
Still cracking up every time i hear this!
Oh what fun. Never seen a Tonight Show, just the odd ting. What a hoot. More laughs like this please.
I love how the bass player is making the guitar solos xD
This is brilliant
Awesome song Kevin and Michael
i have a dog named lola and ive been playing guitar for 3 years. idk why i still havent learned this song 😂😂😂 its always on the "list" 😂
Wow is Jimmy back? This is the first time I've seen him play guitar since his finger injury. He seems to be doing some of the chord changes but doesn't appear 100% Still, PROGRESS. Good for him, and good for humanity, the world, and the cosmic thread that connects life eternal.
Kevin Bacon & Jimmy's first draft songs should be a regular feature
Too f ing FUNNY@@ can LAUGH anytime, now. "I cannot spell doughnut." 😅
No, it's a corolla. 😅
I will contribute my bit and watch this video atleast once daily!! This deserves more views
This my favorite of them all!
Doughnut Is the new do not.
Jimmy I really really love your show.
This was fabulous 👏 Way to go guys! Brilliant! ❤😂
These are so cute! I’m on a roll here! I hope they do more!
I don't know why this made me laugh so freaking hard!Hilarious!
Love all of these both are great .
I am absolutely addicted to this clip.
LOL, this is great, I love the dobro Jimmy is playing.
YES THE KINKS THIS NEEDS TO BE A REGULAR SEGMENT
Awesome job Kevin and Jimmy!
Hey jimmy you and Kevin gotta tour!!! Concert !!!!
I always enjoy this videos...funny lol😁
Love it! Kevin is an amazing singer and is so underrated! Jimmy also needs to do more serious stuff as his vocals are awesome!
Every time I hear this song, I cannot keep from thinking of Weird Al's "Yoda". hee hee This is a good version too.
One of my favorite songs is "My Sharona".
Omg! How can you not love Jimmy Fallon!! Too funny😂
I just kept remembering wierd al Yankovics version yoda.
As you should lol
Will check out that
I know Darth Vader's really got you annoyed/But remember if you kill him, then you'll be unemployed
i still remember the last time when they sing about horse lol
These are my favourite skits you do, please consider covering some Clapton!
What a Tune!!!
My favourite song. They say covers are never better than the original, but in this case it might be
Hilarious!! God Save the Kinks, Kevin, and Jimmy!
My favorite song in this series.
This is one of my favorite things I've ever seen
I wish Jimmy would do these music sets for the whole show! Or maybe a variety show like The Carol Burnett Show. He has the skills and commercial financing to pull it off!
I am impressed. Fun and beautifully played
I literally love this so much, this made my day
these guys are amazing..
"And it is the Camry... -or is it Corolla?" Had me good! :D
I woke up this morning on the wrong side of bed
Then I watched this vid now I'm running through my Gladiolas
That's G-L-A-D-I -olas.
GL. GL. Gladiolas
😂fabulous love Kevin and Jimmy.
You Got Me is one of the best songs ever!
If they were singing the original words, this would be hilarious but with the different lyrics, this is brilliant!
All my friends keep asking why do you watch the same old video over and over again. I guess I just enjoy it too much 😂
Speaking of late night hosts named Jimmy, Jimmy Kimmel had a show with a guy named Adam Carolla. C-A-R-O-olla.
I love how the bass player is making the guitar solos xD
levialexstein dying. 😂
Funny enough, that's what the original bass part looks like! There's a Kinks video on UA-cam (what they are trying to match) and their bass player is moving like that. Props to the Tonight Show for replicating that!
1970 The Kinks Lola BBC Top of The Pops
No he play the right bass part and move like the kinks in the video on top of the pop
M-O-T-O-ROLA and that corolla-camry bit. GENIUSS
