Ben Harper & Jack Black - "Under Pressure"

Last night on "The Jay Leno Show," they had listed as the musical guest Ben Harper (and whatever band he's with these days). However, he was joined by a special guest Jack Black. And what song (obviously) would these two tear up other than the epic Bowie/Mercury duet "Under Pressure"? Jack Black keeps the hamminess down and Harper controls his constant desire to stretch a note ala (insert any 70s soul singer here) to deliver a nice rendition of a classic. It might be safe to say that Black did this so that people will talk about his performance with Harper on Leno and not his performance in the recently released to DVD uber-stinker Year One.

  1. Just saw Year One last night, and boy was it dissappointing. I usually ignore reviews (I tend to like movies critics tear apart) but it just wasn't funny.

    The performance last night on Leno was okay, but nothing to write home about.

    I love both harper and black, but there were moments in their performance that sounded a little off to my ear. Still, it was cool to see.
