There's been some speculation that Chevy Chase, at age 71, is slowly losing his marbles. He played that up on Wednesday's Tonight Show, calling Jimmy Fallon "Johnny" and making pretty not-family-friendly jokes about how he injured his right hand.

They share a jacket, for unnecessary comic effect, and do a serviceable version of one of the easiest songs in the piano repertoire. And it's fun. Watch below. Peter Weber
