On Tuesday, Nov. 26, the "Cool" singer, Jimmy Fallon and The Roots jammed out to her 2004 hit song "Hollaback Girl" on classroom instruments — and it was indeed bananas.
Stefani, 55, aptly used a banana as a microphone. Fallon, 50, started with a kazoo and banged on a drum. The Roots also performed with child-friendly instruments and with silver pompoms in hand as a wink to the lyrics.
The song was accentuated with a handheld xylophone, maracas, tambourine and hand clappers, making for a playful rendition of the beloved pop classic.
Fans took to the comments section and praised the performance as iconic. Others thanked Stefani, who released her fourth studio album Bouquet on Nov. 15, for helping teach them how to spell "bananas." "Thanks to gwen we all know how to spell bananas B-A-N-A-N-A-S!!!!" one user wrote.
"Every time I have to spell the word 'bananas' I sing this song to help me remember how many 'nana's are in it," another added.
"Thanks to this song many people learned to spell bananas, thank you for the education Gwen," a third said.
