Video: Jimmy Fallon and Neil Young singing ‘Old Man’ on the Jimmy Fallon show

This is just lovely

This is just lovely.

We’re not complaining about our jobs or anything (honestly Boss, we’re not), but if we could switch occupations with one person, Jimmy Fallon would be close to the top of the list.

Fallon, of course, has the perfect personality to host one of the biggest chat shows in the world, but he does also get to frequently live out his dreams with some of the most well-known stars around.

He was at it again last night when he was joined by the great Neil Young for a performance of ‘Old Man’, one of Young’s finest and most recognised songs from his substantial back catalogue.

Readers of a certain generation might not be too familiar with Young’s music or his status in the industry for the best part of six decades.

We can assure them that the man is a bona-fide icon and we’re more than a little bit jealous of Fallon for having the pleasure of performing live with the great man himself.

Having heard that version above, you might fancy listening to the original one more time.

We know we do…
