Jimmy Fallon, the Roots, and the Lonely Island (Minus Jorma) Play “I’m on a Boat” With Classroom Instruments

The Lonely Island dressed for the occasion when they joined Jimmy Fallon and the Roots on Monday for a classroom-instruments rendition of one of their best songs: “I’m on a Boat,” a rollicking celebration of—well, being on a boat, mostly. The usual kazoos and toy xylophone were there but with a nautical twist, including Andy Samberg playing a pair of flip-flops.

Black Thought fills in for T-Pain, even retaining his classic line about human-mermaid relations, but it’s Jorma Taccone who steals the show, still as woefully beached as he was in the original—though he does score a (very, very brief) triangle solo.
