Kevin Bacon’s classic Mick Jagger impression is still giving us bags of satisfaction

Jimmy Fallon has, for several years, been teaming up with Kevin Bacon to produce a segment on The Tonight Show, called First Drafts of Rock.

Some of their popular re-drafts have included Lola by The Kinks, Free Fallin’ by Tom Petty and Should I Stay or Should I Go? by The Clash.

The premise is explained in the title, and the first draft rewrites are always both very funny and expertly performed.

A 2023 edition featured the Rolling Stones classic Paint It Black – sort of. Brace yourselves.

The word paint has lost all meaning.
