Jimmy Fallon can certainly hold a note.

The host of The Tonight show was dining with friends in Le Crocodile restaurant in Vancouver on Thursday night, when according to YouTuber Mahram Z. Foadi, they got up in the middle of their meal to sing a song.

The song in question, R Kelly’s Ignition, doesn’t necessarily lend itself to Barbershop but Fallon and friends did a pretty good job of it, even if they did lack the co-ordinated outfits one associates with the genre.

We haven’t heard barbershop like that since The Be Sharps.
