What’s better than oneSting? Two Stings on the moon!
On Friday night’s episode ofThe Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, the music legend and former Police frontman joins hostJimmy Fallonfor a silly spin on his hit, “Walking on the Moon,” which the show has already dropped on its YouTube channel.
In the clip, Fallon, 44, appears dressed as Sting, 67, sporting his signature silvery-blonde hair. The two wear matching astronaut costumes as they declare in the chorus, “We’re two Stings on the moon.”
At one point during the parody, the pair take a break from singing to exchange jokes about seeing “Uranus” while floating in outer space.
