Neil Young's Emotional 'Double Rainbow' Ballad (VIDEO)

As if you could possibly get sick of Double Rainbow parodies, Jimmy Fallon broke out his amazing Neil Young impression again last night to perform a sweet ballad to our favorite Internet phenomenon of the year (so far). Pulling out all the heart-wrenching stops, a costumed Fallon debuted an original song to celebrate Paul Vasquez' amazement at the sight of two full rainbows. We'd say it was hilarious, but the topic is so close to our hearts that it was also pretty moving. Maybe not as moving as, say, a double rainbow, but you get the idea.

We had no idea what this double rainbow viral video was all about, but here it is. It is pretty funny...

Also, see Jimmy Fallon Impression: "Pants On The Ground" and Jimmy Fallon Impression of Neil Young's "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air".

But Fallon's obviously got hands for milking and so what if some of it spills over here.....but this cat ain't lickin' it up.

I'd buy the concert DVD. Think of how surreal it would be? "Hey man, Jimmy Fallon's Neil Young tour is comin' to town, wanna get tickets? They're like a tenth the price of Neil's!" He he

Coundn't take my eyes off it. The battery in the digital camera was wasted so no good shots, and the black and white film loaded in the 35mm camera just couldn't capture it.

These videos are great. Jimmy Fallon can do any Neil parodies he wants. That's a freakin riot.

Dumb and dumber.
