Jimmy Fallon Does Jim Morrison=The Doors.. HD ..Reading Rainbow.

[99juan99]

I think he used Anthony's Weiner package....

[xsublimenalx]

wow dead on

[dinatosto1]

Great Video, Deno! Jim Morrison lives on!!!! Mike and Dina

[no1soce]

41 people do not know who jim morrison is

[ironskull57]

what is also amazing is the roots capture that 60's sound

[legoman2078]

Guy is amazing. Check out the Neil Young impersonation. The guy nails it every time! You never know what he's gonna do!

[mick2988]

Looks like a dude with a wigbuit dead on Jim!

[wee1d5]

Sounds more like johnny cash

[hayesman76]

Wow! I have absolutely never been a fan of Jimmy Fallon whatsoever but was just referred to this clip from someone on an Internet message board.

By coincidence, during the past week I have been listening to old Doors records, especially "L.A. Woman" and can say with complete confidence that Jimmy Fallon absolutely NAILED it both vocally and physically with his Jim Morrison impression! Great job, Jimmy!

[Evad316]

Was never a huge fan of Jimmy Fallon's style of humor but this floored me and I may have to give him a second look as a comedian.

[CrashingBoulder]

Oh my goodness! I thought that Jim Morrison was dead! Did someone dig him up in Zucotti Park hanging out and partying with the Occupy Wall Street crowd? Amazing! Stunning! I was fully expecting him to drop trow in this performance so we could verify his identity!

[Givemeafinname]

I wonder if he did a shitload if acid before doing this?

[tkieffer63]

This was very entertaining for me, hey if you got it use it. I loved it!

[miloesalazar]

Fag

[blad514]

This would be so much more awesome if I didn't fucking HATE Jimmy Fallon.

[RTB668]

I've never really liked Jimmy Fallon much but I've been a fan of The Doors for a loooong time... that was spectacular!

[zach3949]

jimmy is really talented i think this was a skit but its really good to

[HueyLewisFan4ever]

I laughed 'til I icried., funny stuff Jimmy,thanks....

[THEUFCBEAST121594]

haha adam sandler said about his bulge and he was like yea we had to use a towel for tht haha

[MrHimer24]

the best ever, morrison would be proud. i cant stop watching it.. lol

[MrCBosh1]

Lizard man is back!

[jmb9ful]

beyond great

[tomcrissy]

There's a rocket in my pocket and A Horton hears a who?

Sound like a mixture of "When the music's over" and "The End"

I think it's great.Go Fallon!!

[moviebuff383]

..Jimmy is an impressionist, he always gets it spot on..  but nothing beats VAL KILIMER ..period ;)

[Brianbellew]

He should go out with these guys and do a Door's tribute gig. They'd probably make some serious coin in Jersey,the tribute band meca. His best yet. Fallon continues to amaze.

[midmodgal]

I'm relieved that people still know The Doors! That Fallon sure is a funny guy.

[jamessavik]

Sacrilege! But I forgive funny sacrilege. :)

[KimDoors]

why the fuck would you make fun of the doors

[mrXXrauf182XX]

@KimDoors he is not making fun of the doors

[TrippedOutMojoMan]

Haha this is gold! Spot on jimmy spot on!

[kidblacks]

I was sceptical but the look and sound drew me in. About 1.47 I began to smirk (a pastiche of Jimmery poetic cliches- like a laundry list) and then bang 'Fantastic' I was back in to the best of the Doors. Brilliant parody

[dizWackshit]

haha badass

[TeezHidz]

never Jim Morrison no.2

[brenwoj]

UNREAL! Just too damn good.

[DetroitMr8mile]

@coolbrz2112

Everything is true but one thing I am the biggest doros fan

FROM KEITH MORRISON

[DetroitMr8mile]

@rockerjunk6

he is copying jim morrison from the original band when he wore the pants his pecker looked huge

[ValenciaMerble08]

@DetroitMr8mile

maybe it was

[delcomurf]

EPIC

[Vroktar2009]

Holy shit! I don't know if he intended it to be so dead on, but he sounds JUST like Jim Morrison!



[kdick14]

perfect

[anakinthehutt]

Pretty good, pretty good. Pretty neat, pretty neat. Scary how spot on this is.

[DruDixon777]

The Reading Rainbow lol

[frankth3tank69]

fuck Val Kilmer jimmy fallon shoulda played jim

[BassFever74]

that 2nd "i can go anywhere" sounds exactly like morrison omg

[rockerjunk6]

dude i think fallon had a boner XD

[cestrell]

I just want to know if LeVar Burton's getting into it ;-)

[FangDarkWolf]

haha this is pretty funny...

[inkey2]

this Fallon dude is so talented yet when he is interviewing people you would never know he was some kind of a genius. Like johnny carson he has many hidden talents

[Xercex]

I heard a coworker playing this clip from across the office today, could have sworn it was Jim Morrison singing. SHOCKED to find out it was Jimmy Fallon! Damn. Pretty sweet vocals, Jimmy...

[bbbbbzzzzz]

Jim Morisson is still alive, his whole death was a hoax, his Admiral father put him

a witness protection thing. ( I knew him back in college) He Lives !!!!!!!!

[bruckna09]

My dad thought this was a Doors song he somehow never heard. Made the video twice as funny. Jimmy nailed it.

[Rush1013]

Ray Manzarek was on the wrong side.

[MrBillyjim69]

boooooooooooo



[tedcantu1]

HAHAHHAA.. GO JIMMY MORRISON !!! YOU ROCK MAN !

[ronnogold]

I think Jim M. Would have looooove it.

[lacadams]

I've been singing this all day, and I'll never be able to read"Good Night Moon" the same ever again!

[markd325]

HOLY SHIT!!!!!!

[liamlynch5]

HANDS DOWN BEST JIM MORRISON IMPRESSION EVER!

[rtt470]

@liamlynch5 not true. A cover band called Soft Parade.

[zuffox]

Cannot unsee the bulge.

[mick2988]

@zuffox AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW Idxidn't notice until you said :-(

[jimkaml]

I didn't think he could top his imitation of Neil Young doing "Pants on the Ground" but holy crap-this is spot on!

[ApocalypsePlough]

How could anyone dislike Jimmy Fallon?

Disliking Jimmy Fallon is like disliking Norway. What's the point?

I think the haters see him in some kind of competition with Conan.

Judge them on their own merits, you idiots.

His singer impersonations are great. Not a bad one yet. He needs to keep doing them, maybe throw a woman in the mix ...... how about Joni Mitchell?" Sounds undo-able, but I bet he'd do a great job with her.

[pistachio0891]

Here is the video that Jimmy was basing his impersonation off of, incredible job! Unreal!

/watch?v=m8MeU4qHMEg

[ElDuderino244]

Fallon is a hack.

But this is great.

[insidenumbers]

This should be released as a Doors / Jimmy Fallon download on iTunes.

[TheArtfryne]

sounds like jim morrison and doors yes. funny. no.

[eligarf]

@TheArtfryne

depends on one's sense (or lack!?) of

humoRealololy

[TheArtfryne]

@eligarf

I suppose its easy to please sinple minds.

[LiberalVoiceTV]

Jim Fallon.

[VibrantCompromise]

If i was blind, i would swear on the bible that the man singing is Jim Morrison. Holy SHIT. The voice and the movements are just EXACT.

[kraken589]

Well he doesn't really look like Morrison but he sure as hell sounds like him and does the same movements.

[Dravenswraith]

I could actually see jim taking the piss outta the censors of that day by singing this song ..I can go twice as high....lol

[spacefox71]

So so so good. Only Jimmy Fallon would hear Jim Morrison in the Reading

Rainbow theme (and then perform to perfection).

[GreggtheG]

Freakin awsome. The set, the clothing all perfect!

[toymachine234]

@GreggtheG The gear came from one of my professors, who is in a doors tribute/cover band Called the Soft Parade and they are amazing so Check them out!

[GreggtheG]

@toymachine234 That is so cool ..i've heard of 'soft parade" i'm from jersey & his (Fallon) show IS shot in NYC right?

Also the ed sulivan show was shot there too .

That performance of LMF is my favorite version of that song

[williamkimbler]

One of JIm’s favorite things to do was to read, how fitting that Jimmy Fallon would pick this song to do as Jim Morrison

[idtweet]

I want to be the lizard king

[meltfacekillhead]

I actually got shivers.



[Matalizari]

Sold. New Jimmy Fallon fan here.

[nataleeamyotte]

so cool - love you jimmy

[nataleeamyotte]

@frankydee : cause jimmy was 16 in 1991 when it was made!

[pittspenfan8771]

Fallon = genius

[PABBYUK]

Pretty good... pretty neat.

[FrankyDee08]

why didn't jimmy get the part instead of Val Kilmer?

[5theend1]

that was so good. they should tour as them. VIVA THE DOORS!

[theamericanscoop]

Fallon and co. should tour as a Doors tribute group. Or better yet have Ray, Robbie and John do a song with Fallon. This wasn't a funny skit, but a damn good impersonation of the enire band. And this is coming from a HUGE Doors fan!

[manoilos]

i hate this guy, but this was good!

[TaserTracks]

Superfantastic! Excellent! Morrison Live!

My only question is whether it was really Jimmy's voice or was he lip synching.

[Zorbarela]

This is NOT Jimmy!!!!

[bilvis23]

THIS ALL JIMMY FALLON SHOULD DO!!! HE IS ANYONE HE MAKES HIMSELF OUT TO BE!!! beautifully done!!!!

[redrum05150]

If Morrison was still around when Reading Rainbow aired on tv, he would be singing the intro just like that... Jimmy Fallon and staff, great job!

[ty1on77]

that is fucking unreal

[ragefanjr]

This is just mind-blowing. He HAS TO do The Doors AGAIN on another show! Am I right?

[1buns]

I laughed and laughed, this was EXCELLENT!

[LHP201]

0:04 I never thought I'd be hearing that again.

[PurpleGreenHaze]

This is simply brilliant. I'm instantly a Jimmy Fallon fan. He nailed the physical impression and was bang on with those made up lyrics, so like Jim Morrisons. Hillarious stuff.

[chandler2601]

@PurpleGreenHaze

Made up lyrics?? The majority of song was straight from the theme song to Reading Rainbow.

[ung427]

Jim Morrison looks into the future... "Wow man we're still playing in 2011! And we look.. wait a minute.. what the f*@#! ?"

[coolbrz2112]

When I posted this video it was to show a great talent, Jimmy Fallon is a genius! I am the biggest Doors fan out there. What a lot of people don't know is Jim Morrison had a great sense of humor! Jim Morrison would have loved it! Thanks for keeping his spirit alive....Thanks everyone for your comments.

[korky94]

@coolbrz2112

Jim Morrison was also extremely sensitive and you can't say how he'd feel. He wanted people to listen and remember his words not the catchy songs. he thought of himself as a writer/poet first and he may have been offended or just thought that this whole thing was extremely stupid

[crimetoad]

@korky94 Possibly....but he would have been much older now and grown as a person....no saying how he would of felt about it because we'll never know. This was great work compared to the shitty movie put out about his life.....talking about taking offense to something....

[korky94]

@crimetoad

agree with you, 100%

[pyperdeewyatt]

@coolbrz2112 This is AWESOME! And you're right, I'm pretty sure Jim would have loved it! <3

[adrian777franco]

Was it funny? No. Was it good? Yes. Was it perfect? No. You could still kinda hear jimmy fallon a bit. Still hate jimmy fallon and his show. Except for the roots. They're the true talent.

[schteebs]

Best part ... "Goodnight Moon" ... (guitar echos - wa wa wa) :o)

[coopjaquish]

I appreciate the fact that they don't have a bass player.

[CaptHayfever]

Cool, but it would've been even better if he'd included the "I can do anything" part too.

[sc41295]

I hate Fallon, but goddamn if this isn't spot on in every way.

[jpcmd]

They nailed it. Love Jimmy!!!!!! Hilarious.

[KzMOS]

Jimmy Fallon...was...too good on this one, fucking amazing,

[babs3010]

I LOVE Jimmy Fallon! This was so great! Thanks for posting it! =)

[autobond007]

Did u all catch his stuffed meat section in the leathers lmao!!!

[autobond007]

Awesome Jimmy, awesome!! Goes to show the power of the doors even today!! The greatest band of all time!! No other band captured the entire spectrum from A to Z like the doors, nobody!! Jim is upstairs with a huge grin on his face after that kool, funny performance!!

[cyost74]

Hysterical! love it!

[90260]

whats this song ?

[otterbot]

@90260 It's the Reading Rainbow theme song--a children's show that started in the 80's! You can find plenty of links to it here on Youtube.

[deadbeatle]

An awesome tribute to one of the greatest bands of all time. It was hilarious and amazing. It sounds like the greatest doors song never recorded...

He made a childish song sound like a genuine Morrison lyric....haha...fucking great!!

[silionness]

VIVA MORRISON!

[silionness]

brilliant!

[raidermino]

Freaking funny and awesome at the same time, I love anything Doors related!! ...Jimmy F is not the lizard king, but he can do anything!

[clarkkenttheman]

how do we know its not lypsnched

[yossarian1633]

This is genius in a way.

[Streetdragon100]

Jimmy Fallon should make a CD doing impressions of Singers.

[thewriter1008]

@Streetdragon100 He does a mean David Bowie, too. 

[herecomesthesun3]

if any man wants to turn me on, this is the way to do it.

[Streetdragon100]

What if the Doors came on Jimmy Fallon's show that would be awesome.

[tellejay]

Jimmy Fallon continues to amaze me with his talent. very well done.

[herecomesthesun3]

YYYYEEEEEESSSSSS!!!!!!!

[helizabeth111]

I agree with Pittsburgh above. I just LOVED this thoroughly - can't stop watching it. Laughing so hard. From another fan of Morrison, Fallon nailed it. Awesome job!

[Streetdragon100]

26 people found the monster in their book. 

[TheDEBI55]

absolutely theeee BEST redention of Morrison i've ever seen!! MoJo would be proud!! Keep up the good work, Fallon ~ you are a very funny dude!!! =D

[bosenlommer54261]

Sad, Jimmy get a live of your one! You give a good performance so from now on your one music! The Doors/Jim are alive in our minds that's enough.

[low72]

your tv may be HD but this video aint! thanks for sharing though, this is great

[sierraac]

Haha, pretty funny. his voice does get pretty deep. Still not better than Dave Brock. Or Jim.

[latoyaglvr]

GREAT!!!

[THELightWarrior]

Just freaking amazing! My only critique is that you can understand every single word he sings. Ol' Jim didn't always have the greatest diction. I totally agree that Jimmy should be the lead singer of the new Doors band. I had no idea he is this talented!

[karlyea]

Esta realmente horrible!! no imita bien y nunca nadie jamas le llegara a los talones a JIM ni a los doors!! q horror!! y q verguenza, no posteen esto en el face!! bueno es mi opinion!! lo odie, Jim es unico!!

[dml3331]

is that a banana in your pants or do you reeeaaaallly like books?

[SarcasmRules9]

Dang...as close to Jim Morrison there is....LOL>.

[ShePaintsMusic]

Hahaha this is incredible... He did it so well. He didn't move perfectly like Jim, but not bad. The essence and voice are present. Not to mention how hilarious this is.

[FastANDBulbous117]

This is probably the greatest thing I've ever seen! He sounds sort of like Ian Curtis at times.

[GeriBDMB]

Soooooo funny....love love love Jimmy Fallon!

[MestrePolo34]

C'est une parodie! Jimmy Fallen est pas mauvais mais ça vaut pas le vrai Jim!

[Metalchris36]

Sounds like a knock off of "When the Music's Over", my favorite song by them :D

[skippydeenice]

somewhere Jim is laughing his ass off

[axecalibore]

18 people have not heard the scream of the butterfly.

[Tripooch]

this song has been stuck in my head for hours

[SmokefromAshes]

Wow, that was impressive! I've never been a fan of Jimmy Fallon but that was just a perfect Morrison.

[123Msjaycee]

ROFLMAO BRILLIANT!!!!

[misterjameswest]

He does have a good Jim Morrison voice; and he looks more like JM than Val did in the movie!

[calixa]

this is one of the greatest videos, I've seen in a long, long time. Wow, I'd pay to go to a full show of this.

[ThisIsDJJD]

HILARIOUS

FAVE LATE NIGHT HOST

FAVE BAND

of cours jimmy will ace it

[jojoheartspaypay]

Why, oh WHY is Jimmy Fallon still alive? And will he replace Regis Philbin and live another 100 years?

[MPSaul]

Why the hell do people keep talking about Kilmer -___- this shit is dope so stfu.

[BS20JD]

WOW that was awesum!

[tacomadc]

He did a good job, but I think Kilmer was better. I saw them with Ian from the Cult and it was one of the best shows I've ever seen.

Pretty good spoof on his lyrics.

[zondo711]

Jimmy better watch out - it wasn't the drugs that killed Jim Morrison, it was the leather pants

[metallicka007]

@zondo711 It wasn't the drugs that killed him anyway, he handled drugs better than anyone; it was the alcohol by the sounds of it (although no one will ever know thanks to that stupid french law)

[brandyland7]

That is awesome. Even with "I can go twice as HIGH" HAHAHAHA

[tiozoso]

Good God! Jimmy could've played Jim in the movie! He must be possessed by Jimbo!

[ElizabethMcCathern]

Jimmy Fallon suddenly seems 100 times hotter. :D

[smokinmnpurps]

The Doors are my favorite rock band of all time and Jimmy did a good job but it still isn't The Doors lol.

[justforfun419420]

i dont care its the reading rainbow theme that shit gave me chills lol the doors is one of my favorite bands and i dont say that much ....wow!!!!!

[rmaxinmass]

''Pretty good, pretty good. Pretty neat

'' J.M.

[DeirdreBlake]

I can´t stand it!

[AidanSkisALot]

sounds just like him

[xxglowbugxx]

Awful :p

[williamkimbler]

I was pissed at this video in the first 30 seconds, then it started getting cool. It is interesting that he picked this song, after all reading was Jim’s favorite way to pass away the time.

[RubberSavoySoul]

Jimmy Fallon just secured a spot as the greatest living human. No, that is not an over-statement.
