“The Tonight Show” host Jimmy Fallon often does unpredictable and eccentric things for no good reason. His show is riddled with putting celebs in ridiculous situations (my personal favorite being his “Ew!” segments) and taking weird stories from viewers.
Fallon took it off the soundstage this time, though, when he posted this absolutely random video to his Instagram yesterday, celebrating his and Lin Manuel-Miranda's “goats.”
He even subtitled it. In case the lyrics were too complicated to decipher, I guess.
I’ve been trying to decode any kind of reason behind the video -- are they promoting something? -- but I’m really falling short here. Like, did they just really wanted to show off their facial hair? Is this a commonplace way to welcome summer? If anything, it gave me a decent chuckle this morning.

And why Manuel-Miranda? Surely the writer and star of “Hamilton” has better singer-songwriting skills than are showcased here. He’s not doing his career any favors by rhyming “goat” with “tote,” that’s for sure, though we’ll take his harmonies.
I’ll be collecting recruits for whoever wants to recreate this video with me sometime soon. That choreography is killer.
