Video: The Roots, Jimmy Fallon & Christina Aguilera Perform "Your Body" w/ Office Supplies As Instruments

Lenny Kravitz, Grace Jones, Lauryn Hill, Lion Babe, Thundercat, SZA & More Rock The Afropunk Festival 2015 in Brooklyn, NY.Jimmy Fallon and Christina Aguilera and The Roots perform

Jimmy Fallon and Christina Aguilera AND The Roots crew grabbed a bunch of office supplies ranging from cellphones to coffee pots and jammed out a bizcapella version of Aguilera's single "Your Body" the other night. Kind of a sequel to their classroom version of Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe" (currently at 11 Million views). I thin we can reasonably expect this joint to go viral as well considering that it makes the perfect monday morning soundtrack and it features Jimmy Fallon and Christina performing together. It will be especially great for those of us in the New York/New Jersey area who are heading into the office for the first time since Hurricane Sandy today. Full personnel and instrumentation (?uestlove on the coffee pots, of course) are included after the jump, just in case you didn't think this ish was real--though I would like to note that Jimmy's desk-thumping is not properly credited, which---let's be honest, this thing would not be a hit without Fallon on thumps. Check out Jimmy Fallon and Christina Aguilera AND The Roots below:
