You knew he could sing the blues, but did you know that our sitting President can slow jam the news?

Last night, Barack Obama was the guest on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, and for his first segment, he chose to join Fallon and house band The Roots for a little musical speechifying. As Obama discussed student loan reform, Fallon and The Roots turned up the “sexy” factor to eleven. Watch the video below.

Fallon will release a musical comedy album, Blow Your Pants Off, on June 12, featuring special guests like Eddie Vedder, Paul McCartney, Bruce Springsteen, and Justin Timberlake.

P.S. We had a dream last night that Obama went on Jimmy Fallon and endorsed American Songwriter as the official magazine of the United States. What could it all mean?
