Jimmy Fallon channeled Jamaican music star Shaggy with his latest “Barbershop Quartet.”

Fallon, the new host of NBC’s “Tonight Show,” frequently uses his “Ragtime Gals” barbershop quartet to put old-fashioned spins on popular songs.

He has won one Grammy Award and been nominated for four others, including “It Wasn’t Me,” which was a collaboration that featured Rikrok.

The video has gone viral on YouTube, already acquiring more than 1 million views.
