Jimmy Fallon<\/a><\/strong> had quite the iconic guest<\/a> this week.<\/p>\n

For his newest edition of Classroom Instruments, the host recruited none other than Janet Jackson<\/a><\/strong>to perform a remix of her classic bop from 1995, “Runaway.” Ms. Jackson (if you’re nasty) opted to provide only vocals during this remix. As for Fallon, he alternated between playing a wooden block, a drum and throwing coloring scarves around, which gave Jackson a good chuckle.<\/p>\n

The various members of The Roots<\/strong> played on rainbow xylophones, hand-held drums, ukeleles, egg shakers, melodicas, kazoos and tambourines, which all made for a magical cover of the classic song<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The group stood in front of a screen that changed backgrounds from blue skies to sunsets and nature landscapes, just like the “Runaway” music video.<\/p>\n

The music legend sang<\/a> most of the song herself while the group of men provided some backup vocals. Later in the song, Questlove<\/strong> sang along with her on the lines “Won’t need no compass, love will guide our way” and “No need to hurry, we’ve got everyday.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Meanwhile, Fallon entertained himself by throwing up the scarves and catching them on beat.<\/p>\n

At the end of the song, the group cheered and Fallon and Jackson shared a big, old hug. You love to see it.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

The last installation of Classroom Instruments was in December<\/a>, when Cats<\/em> stars Taylor Swift<\/a><\/strong>, James Corden<\/a><\/strong>, Jennifer<\/strong> Hudson<\/strong>, Jason Derulo<\/a><\/strong>and Francesca Hayward<\/strong> performed “Memory.”<\/p>\n

Other stars who have done the segment<\/a> include the Jonas Brothers<\/a><\/strong>, Shawn Mendes<\/a><\/strong>, Adele<\/a><\/strong>, Mariah Carey<\/a><\/strong> and more.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
