Steve Carell and Jimmy Fallon singing "Sexual Healing" a cappella in a barbershop quartet? Sounds like The Ragtime Gals — Fallon's barbershop quartet singing troupe — have been trawling through our dreams again! The Golden Globe-nominated "Foxcatcher" star was a surprise guest on "The Tonight Show" last night, joining forces with the host to deliver an amazing rendition of Marvin Gaye's classic 1982 soul single. Carell appeared almost from out of nowhere to join The Ragtime Gals — who have previously tackled a cappella versions of Justin Timberlake's "SexyBack" and R. Kelly's "Ignition" — as they gave their distinct twist to amazing lines like, "I can't hold it that much longer / it's getting stronger and stronger / Inside of me / And when I get this feeling / I want sexual healing." The "Get up / Get up / Let's make love tonight" lines, along with Fallon's finger-mouth pop and their extended outro are particularly hilarious highlights. As ew.com pointed out, it was a performance that's "sure to make the world a happier place." Read More »
