Roots Welcome Michele Bachmann to Fallon Show by Playing ‘Lyin’ Ass Bitch’ (Video)

Fallon tweets that Questlove is grounded

Jimmy Fallon jokingly tweeted Tuesday that his bandleader "is grounded" after house band The Roots welcomed Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann to the "Late Night" stage Monday with a song called "Lyin' Ass Bitch."

The 1985 Fishbone tune was the latest obscure number that drummer and bandleader Questlove has used to introduce guests.

He tweeted before the show aired: "Aight late night walkon song devotees: you love it when we snark: this next one takes the cake. ask around cause i aint tweeting title."

Questlove, whose Twitter profile picture shows him standing with President Obama, later tweeted a link to the Fishbone EP that contains the song. We're going to go ahead and assume he didn't get an all-clear from the president.

The Minnesota congresswoman was either unfamiliar with Fishbone's work or pretended not to make the connection as she shook hands with Fallon. Probably the former.
