The hottest book in America is undoubtedly the steamy "50 Shades of Grey" and Jimmy Fallon decided to commemorate this important moment in pop culture by inviting members of his studio audience down to the stage to sing excerpts from the novel.
That's right: "50 Shades of Grey" karaoke.
So if you don't think you'll get around to actually reading the book, but you still want to know what everyone's talking about, just watch the full clip above and you'll get the gist.

Jimmy's was funny.
but seriously, the entire series and joke is ready to be cremated
He asked if I read the book to which I said I NEVER would...but he has read it. He basically said I don't know what it's about unless I've read it.
I said I know what it's about, how poor the writing is and how the popularity of the series is depressing.
I mean, my dad is SO much smarter than that and he was given the book from another GUY?
Ugh.
Who the fuck needs the book when that mess is all over tumblr and we have dramatic readings?
all christian says to Ana is "what are you doing to me?" By the second book, I almost have make a tally sheet of the phrases they say over and over again.
thus far i have been very pleased with my loved ones' reactions to this horrible series
I think I just changed my mind about reading further.
Prayer circle for you. I hope you can get through this phase in your reading before too much damage is caused.
<3
please don't do that to yourself
please
yesterday my date and i went to the erotica section of the book store and read excerpts of the juicy stuff to each other. i told him no 50 shades of grey. he said he's heard about the book but doesn't know much. i told him that all i know is that he pulls out her tampon and he legit went "oh fuck no. what?! gross"
he's a keeper
i love how silly jimmy is. my bro, sis-in-law and dad went to a taping of his around last thanksgiving and said it was a lot of fun
Is it worth going any further? Chapter One isn't holding my interest so far. I'm not a reader (unless it's fics) but I might make an exception if it gets better.
Don't go any further.
I have such a love/hate relationship with these books. On the one hand, they are so awful and their popularity makes me weep for humanity, but at the same time, the parodies and dramatic readings and pop culture commentary about them has brought me such joy and has made me laugh harder than I've ever laughed in my life at anything.

Still haven't read 50 Shades though, so I can't really partake in the fun.
....i really just...
What kind of analogy is this?
Well played, Jimmy Fallon. Well played.
#2 was my fav though!
Evrything I need to know about this series I learned from http://50shadesofsuck.tumblr.com I have cried reading that site; when you pull lines and sections out of context it is revoltingly funny
