MOS DEF AND TALIB KWELI ON FALLON

I don't watch late night television too much, but Jimmy Fallon is killing it on the music front. The Christopher Cross thing was funny, but Mos Def and Talib Kweli's version of "History" (backed by The Roots, of course) was awesome. (The song is from Mos' The Eccstatic.) Backing vocals provided by two ladies from a band I don't really get, The Dirty Projectors. I wanted to embed the video, but NBC's site is only letting me embed the entire episode, not the song, which is too bad, because it was a great performance.

Update: here's a version I found on YouTube, hopefully NBC doesn't take it down.
