The latest installment of "Carpool Karaoke" is perhaps the Uptown Funkiest yet. Don't believe us? Just watch.
Sorry for the bad pun—but in light of the circumstances, we couldn't help it: Bruno Mars is the latest musical force of nature to join The Late Late Show host James Corden on a joyride through the streets of Los Angeles, and the whole thing was filled with more catchy hits and suave dance moves than we could have ever hoped for.
Throughout the wild ride, we were treated to everything from a Bruno Mars Elvis impression to dance lessons to a hat fashion show. "I feel like there isn't a hat you can't wear," Corden said, before whipping out a variety of styles for Mars to try on. He's right, by the way—though Mars attributes his hat-wearing tendencies not to a love of headgear, but to confusion about how to style his curly locks.
And as they powered through hits like Mars' current single "24K Magic,""Locked out of Heaven," "Grenade," "If I Knew," and "Perm," it became clear that no duo has ever been more vocally in sync than Corden and Mars. Where they differ, however? Apparently, it's in the bedroom. As they crooned the track "Versace on the Floor," Corden pointed out that first, it's not so easy to get a woman out of a Versace dress, and second, Mars conveniently left out the challenge of taking off Spanx in his song.
Corden explained, "When I get home with my wife, and she says, 'Can you undo this,' it takes me about, I’m going to say a good four to six minutes, in which time all romance is gone... But then you’ve got the Spanx. You ignored the Spanx in this song." Real talk, James.
If that exchange isn't enough to make you want to watch the segment on repeat, consider this: No one has ever been more excited than Bruno Mars singing and dancing to "Uptown Funk" whilst riding shotgun with James Corden.
