Jimmy Fallon gear up for ‘This Olympics’ with parody song alongside The Roots

Jimmy Fallon recently teamed up with The Root and unveiled his very own parody song that has Olympics fans fawning.

The song in question, This Olympics, showcases the American patriotic spirit and is a parody straight from Florida Georgia Line and Nelly’s 2020 single Lil Bit.

The song started off with the lyrics, “It’s time to represent your country / No matter where you’re from / Waking up at 2 a.m. to watch a little badminton. Get your soccer socks on, we’re playing football / Pour yourself some Wheaties / It’s time to win it all / This Olympics.”

For those unversed, the games officially began this Friday and included a performance of John Lennon's Imagine by John Legend and Keith Urban at the opening ceremony.
