Kevin Spacey is everywhere: Call of Duty, House of Cards, inhabiting Richard III. And last night on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, he became a ragtime version of Jason Derulo.

Fallon and Spacey performed Derulo’s hit “Talk Dirty” as barbershop quartet the Ragtime Gals, and somehow made the song even better. The line “your booty don’t need explaining” has never sounded so virtuous. It was the flipside of Jamie Foxx’s appearance a week ago, when he talked dirty to Tupperware.
