Fallon has become renowned for his alternative covers (usually kids TV themes or adverts) in the style of famous singers, such as Neil Young or Bruce Springsteen.

Now a full album of these covers called Blow Your Pants Off is due to be released in June and Fallon is calling in some of his famous friends to help him out, including the aforementioned Springsteen (for a cover of Willow Smith's 'Whip My Hair', with Fallon singing in the style of Neil Young).

Elsewhere, Sir Paul McCartney and Eddie Vedder crop up on equally unlikely covers.

Here's the tracklist:

  1. Neil Young Sings ‘Fresh Prince of Bel-Air’

  1. Tebowie
  1. Scrambled Eggs (feat. Paul McCartney)
