Kevin Bacon rocked his 'Paint It Black' parody. Why's he apologizing to Mick Jagger?

Kevin Bacon's take on Rolling Stones rocker Mick Jagger could have been perfect — if it weren't for the actor's facial hair.

The "Footloose" star joined host Jimmy Fallon on Wednesday's episode of "The Tonight Show" to perform a parody "first draft" of the Rolling Stones' iconic "Paint It Black." In a near replica of one of the ' band's live performances in the 1960s, Bacon and Fallon swapped out the original moody lyrics for lyrics with lines about painting.

"I see a red door and I wanted it painted black/ I see a green apple I want it painted red," Bacon sang, taking over Mick's mic. "I see your black Corvette I want to paint it blue/ I see your purple sock I want it painted tan."
