YOU KNOW, I HAD A REVELATION THIS WEEKEND.
I WENT TO A WEDDING. GOOD WEDDING, SOLID WEDDING,
NICE PEOPLE. ZERO DANGS, NEVER BEEN-- SONG
AFTER SONG, DJ COULDN'T GET IT DONE.
I WAS REQUESTING SONGS, A DANCELESS WEDDING, FINALLY
AROUND 11:45, HE BUSTED OUT SOME 80S MUSIC, EVERYONE OUT THERE,
IT'S RAINING MEN, TAKE ON ME, ALL NIGHT LONG, THE WHOLE THING.
AND I REALIZED THE 1980S NOTHING COMES CLOSE.
NOTHING COMES REMOTELY CLOSE, THE BEST DANCE PARTY BANGERS OF
ALL TIME. JAMES, I GOT SOME QUESTIONS.
(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE) J LIZZO, I WAS JUST ACTUALLY
DISCUSSING MUSIC UH-HUH. >> OH, I HEARD ALL ABOUT YOUR
WRONG-ASS OPINION, JAMES. IT'S A RIGHT-ASS OPINION.
>> YOU KNOW WHO GETS PEOPLE OUT OF THEIR SEATS?
ME! IN THE YEAR RIGHT NOW!
>> James: YES, YES. YOU GET THE PARTY STARTED
BY TODAY'S STANDARDS, BUT IT'S A LOW BAR.
DON'T GIVE ME OOH. MODERN MUSIC DOESN'T HAVE THE
SAME ENERGY AS AN 80S JAM. >> JAMES CORDEN,
ARE YOU CHALLENGING ME TO A RIFF-OFF?
>> James: NO, NO, NO (CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)
>> James: ABSOLUTELY NOT. >> IT FEELS LIKE RIFF OFFER.
I DON'T KNOW WHY YOUR MIND WOULD EVEN GO THERE.
I KNOW EVERY RIFFOFF WE HAVE DONE HAS STARTED THIS YEAR.
WE ARE NOT GOING TO DO A RIF OFF RIFF-OFF OF PARTY SONGS FROM THE
80S VERSUS TODAY. THAT'S NOT SOMETHING
I WOULD EVER DO. BESIDES, WE CAN'T ANYWAY,
BECAUSE THE PHILHARMONIC AREN'T HERE.
COVID PROTOCOL. >> SILLY LITTLE JAISMS, SILLY
TINY LITTLE JAMES AND HIS LITTLE DESK.
DON'T YOU KNOW THE FILHARMONIC ARE ALL AROUND YOU.
YOU JUST HAVE TO CLOSE YOUR EYES AND BELIEVE!
BELIEVE, JAMES, CLOSE YOUR EYES AND BELIEVE.
COME ON. IT'S WORKING.
>> THE PHILHARMONIC, EVERYBODY! >> James: HANG ON.
HOW DID YOU-- WHERE--
HAVE YOU BEEN TESTED? HAVE YOU ALL BEEN TESTED?
PCR AND A RAPID? ALL RIGHT.
WELL, IF THEY ARE HERE AND ARE YOU HERE, YOU GOT IT.

THIS. >> OH YEAH, BABY, I'M READY.

I'M JUST KIDDING, JAMES, IT'S NOT ABOUT BEGINNING.
IT'S ABOUT FUN. >> James: THAT'S A NICE
SENTIMENTS. >> I'M JUST KIDDING, LET'S GO.
