Panic! at the Disco's Brendon Urie stopped, collaborated, and listened with Jimmy Fallon and The Roots to perform a home-instrument version of the Queen-David Bowie hit "Under Pressure" from under quarantine for Tuesday's Tonight Show. Luckily, the home instruments owned by The Roots include a bass, because otherwise it's hard to see how "Under Pressure" works. But there are also a toaster, glassware, metal lids, and... maybe a frisbee? Urie sang the Freddie Mercury parts and Fallon did Bowie's, and you can watch the gratifying result below. Peter Weber
