Talk-show host Jimmy Fallon "slow-jammed" a mention of Rep. Virginia Foxx.
As part of a segment on his new show Monday, the former "Saturday Night Live" cast member sang an R&B-style number about the federal stimulus package with house band The Roots.
"It could have passed much sooner, but Congresswoman Virginia Foxx wanted to play with it a little," Fallon spoke-sang, putting particular emphasis on "Foxx."
Rapper Black Thought, a.k.a. Tariq Trotter, gave a bluesy elaboration from the band stage.
"She played with it. Touched on all of its fine details all night long, all night long," he sang. "She added an amendment."
Along with the rest of the House Republican caucus, Foxx voted against the $787 billion stimulus package in Congress last month.
Washington-based newspaper Politico wondered if Fallon knows who Foxx is, though Dome figures she was chosen because her name has a particular punch.
