Jimmy Fallon’s F-Bomb Version Of Schoolhouse Rock’s “I’m Just A Bill”

Rarely does a comedy bit feel both inevitable and really funny, but that just happens to be the case in the following clip. By now nearly everyone has heard Vice President Joe Biden‘s “this is a big f-ing deal” comment to President Obama that was picked up by hot mics during the ceremonial signing of the recently passed health care bill. But it took clever comedic minds at Late Night with Jimmy Fallon to present that wonderful gaffe in the proper context: via the classic Schoolhouse Rock short “I’m Just A Bill.”

Explaining why comedy works (or doesn’t work) is almost never an entertaining or worthwhile exercise. However, its worth noting that it appears that producers at Late Night tracked down Jack Sheldon, the performer who sang the original version (else, they found a dead-ringer voice-alike.)
