Last summer, in the wake of the BP oil spill (LOL remember that youse guys?!), Jimmy Fallon debuted his protest song about tar balls floating ashore, titled “Balls in Your Mouth.” The recent hurricane/flooding issues up and down the East Coast gave him the opportunity to dust it off and play it again last night, this time accompanied by Pearl Jam lead singer Eddie Vedder.
Production note: In case you ever wondered what it’s like to fill-in here, I’ll give you a little insight. I had like 4-5 open tabs of TV newsy biz stories that I was trying to choose between for a post (what would draw the most interest, what I could provide the funniest and/or most original take on, etc.) Then I saw a headline that said “Eddie Vedder Sings ‘Balls in Your Mouth,’” and I giggled for like 30-40 seconds, closed all those other dumb tabs and posted it. The end.

I don’t know about swimming in the ocean, but I usually find balls in my mouth after drinking too much Schnapps in the hot tub.
Just a coupla queers, up to no good
Jeremy should go for a swim in the ocean so he won’t be able to speak in class today.
Now that little ditty is gonna be stuck in my head.
Wait, that came out wrong.
….there is almost a double entendre aspect to this song…..
….thereby rendering it potentially humorous…..
..luckily Fallon avoided that (again)
Damn, a whole day of Danger and I’m stuck working like a donkey.
Oh yeah. The oil spill. The entire world was outraged about that and hippies everywhere were organizing boycotts, because a bunch of people who drive Priuses and AMC Gremlins not buying gas from BP was going to put them out of business. How’s that going, beatniks?
Funny stuff….
Jack B….get a life
Hey Danger,
I know this is off topic and possibly old news, but once you brought it up, I couldn’t stop thinking about it. Besides Warner Bros and VH1 both being owned by Viacom, this is the real reason “New Jack City” has been on VH1.
