Jimmy Fallon, Paul Rudd along with The  Roots recreate the video for “King of Wishful Thinking’ by Go West on The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon

Jimmy Fallon has released another music video parody on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.” The host has recreated several videos from the 80s and 90s including “More Than Words” by Extreme and “Too Much Time On My Hands” by Styx.

On Friday, Fallon along with actor Paul Rudd recreated the British Pop duo Go West’s 1990 hit single “King of Wishful Thinking.” Rudd played lead vocalist Peter Cox and Fallon played guitarist Richard Drummie. The group took to Twitter to comment on the video and Fallon replied back.

The song written by Cox, Drummie and singer-songwriter Martin Page, was featured in the film and soundtrack for the movie “Pretty Woman.” The song was also included after on the group’s “Indian Summer” album in 1992.

Go West finished up an Australian tour late last year with Paul Young, Cutting Crew and Wang Chung. They have started off 2018 with several concerts in the UK.
