One of the most consistently entertaining elements of Late Night with Jimmy Fallon has been Fallon’s excellent music numbers. Ever since his SNL days, the host has been showing off great impressions of musicians. Now that he has his own show, he’s really let loose as folks like Neil Young and Bob Dylan (not to mention this bit from his Emmys hosting). Last night, he impersonated Eddie Vedder to sing about Knicks sensation Jeremy Lin.

Pearl Jam fans, you have three guesses to figure out which song he sang. I’ll give you a hint; it’s not “Better Man.”

Fallon’s Vedder impression, like all his others, was pretty dead on. It’s not my favorite impression of Eddie Vedder though. That title goes to every song ever sang by Scott Stapp.

Watch the clip from NBC below:

Liked the song but wouldn’t it have been easier to have redone Jeremy?

At home drawing pictures of NBA players with hops, with him on top, the lemon yellow son. Ams raised in V shape, wih the fools & morons who doubted him below.

Rockets didn’t give attention and the Warriors didn’t even care. King Jeremy the Knick then ruled the world.

Jeremy spoke Lin class today, Jermy spoke Lin class todayyyyyyyyyy

Jimmy Fallen should have mentioned that a wealthy investor in Japan has offered $1 million for Jeremy Lin’s jock strap. After the game. So far no deal. Hmmmmmm.

how many of the negative reviews were given by people potty trained in 1999? Any 90′s reject would see that impression as spot on, and actually flattering to Darth Vedder
