From that time SVZ was on there and you guys shocked him
Fallon surmises that Springsteen is so game for fun on Late Night because he recognizes how immersed both Jimmy and the show’s house band, the Roots, are in his music. The first time Springsteen sat in Late Night’s guest chair, with guitarist Steven Van Zandt tagging along, Fallon said, they spent some time looking over some E Street Band set lists from the early 70s. “I just started asking fan questions,” Fallon said. “Like, ‘Here’s your old set list from 1974. What is “Wiggle Waggle”? What is that song?’ And he was like ‘Oh, “Wiggle Waggle” is a great song!’ And Little Steven’s saying, ‘Oh, great song.’ And Bruce looks at the Roots and says, ‘Roots, you know “Wiggle Waggle”?’ And they shake their heads no.” (Actually the song Fallon meant is “Wiggle Wobble” by Les Cooper and the Soul Rockers.)
But, as the talk continued, Questlove, the Roots’s drummer and musical director, called up a clip on YouTube of “Wiggle Wobble” and, furtively, worked up an arrangement on the fly. By the time Fallon cut to commercial break, the Roots were playing their ad-hoc version of “Wiggle Wobble.” “You look at Bruce Springsteen’s face,” Fallon said, “and he’s like a kid on Christmas.” ..|.,
