“Maybe we could buy a 12-string and have it sawed in two”: Kevin Bacon and Jimmy Fallon rewrite Bryan Adams’ Summer of ’69 – and make it all about six-strings

Last week, Jimmy Fallon got a loop pedal masterclass from Ed Sheeran. This week, he unearthed the “first draft” of Bryan Adams’ classic anthem, Summer of ’69, with Kevin Bacon.

During the latest edition of the pair’s long-running skit, Adams’ smash hit is labelled as “a nostalgic, rocking tune that would capture a generation”. However, it’s joked that “America never heard its first draft... until now.”
