Published 23rd Jul 2015

This week The Late Late Show with James Corden saw 80s popstar and X Factor judge Paula Abdul recreate the video for her iconic 1989 hit single 'Opposites Attract'.

James Corden played the role of MC Skat Kat, the animated character who starred alongside Paula in the video while Paula donned a 70s-style, white flared jumpsuit and platforms.

Despite James' ridiculous costume and Paula's rather tight jumpsuit the pair didn't miss a beat while they acted out iconic scenes from the video including lying in bed while MC Skat Kat stole the sheets and relaxing on a bench while Paula whips a cigarette out of his mouth.

You can watch the full performance above.

And if you need a reminder of Paula's original hit and MC Skat Kat here is the original music video.
