Watch Miley Cyrus’ Steamy Bob Dylan Cover With the Roots on ‘Fallon’
Singer performs “Baby, I’m in the Mood for You,” addresses host’s Donald Trump controversy
Miley Cyrus visited The Tonight Show Friday to perform a surprise cover of Bob Dylan‘s “Baby, I’m in the Mood for You.” The Roots also joined Cyrus on the sultry version of the Dylan-penned track, with Cyrus’ take inspired by singer Odetta’s famed 1965 rendition.
