Last night, The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon hosted legendary vocalist Robert Plant. The former lead of Led Zeppelin sat down with Fallon to perform a two-man musical number using a looping app for the iPad. Together, and with some help from Fallon's exceptional band The Roots, the two sang a doo-wop version of Gene Chandler's "Duke of Earl."
Unfortunately for Plant, Fallon had already done the greatest looper app performance the first time he used the app. Fallon's duet of "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" with Billy Joel will forever be one of the great Tonight Show moments, and perhaps one of the great impromptu musical performances since the debut of the digital tablet. Fallon and Joel's duet is, therefore, today's "song" of the day (the music starts at the one-minute mark).
