What do you get when you mix a dozen two-tone wigs, Sia, The Roots, Natalie Portman, Jimmy Fallon and a N’awlins classic? Answer: perhaps the single greatest rendition of “Iko, Iko” that ever was. With all sorts of percussive tools in-hand (seriously, Mark’s playing cups and Poyser’s got nothing but a deck of cards) The Tonight Show team provide us with a lively and animated take on the campfire staple. The performance comes just a day out from the release of Sia’s much-anticipated This Is Acting LP, which is an album comprised of songs that the Australian pop sensation wrote for other stars. Watch as Sia leads The Roots, Natalie Portman and Fallon in an absolutely epic take “Iko, Iko” below. Pre-order your copy This Is Acting on iTunes today.
