Brad Paisley was feeling pretty high (on life) when he performed a few #420Songs during his appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Thursday night (4/20).

The country star helped host Jimmy Fallon out with his traditional Thursday bit of “Hashtags,” in which viewers of the show send in their wittiest taglines with the corresponding Twitter hashtag theme of the week. Falling perfectly on the unofficial marijuana-celebrated holiday this year, Fallon rolled together some of his favorite parody lyrics for Paisley to perform in comedic timing.

Imitating classics from The Weeknd and R. Kelly, Paisley even sang a fan rendition of one of his own radio hits, “Mud on the Tires,” that lit up the audience with laughter.

“Come on now what do you say / Girl I can hardly wait / Let’s set a little bud on fire,” Paisley mocked the country classic.

Fallon couldn’t resist the hilarity of the covers, so he even decided to join in on the fun with Paisley by opting for a duet to end it all off. Channeling the vibes of Elton John and Kiki Dee on “Don’t Go Breaking My Heart,” Fallon and Paisley playfully bounced off each other with the newly suggested lyrics of the hit.

“Don’t go smoking my weed / Babe, I’m already high / Oh honey I’m getting hungry / Baby I’ll order fries,” they blazed through the track.

Paisley then took the Tonight Show stage to perform a new song called “Contact High,” which is featured on his latest album.

Love and War, Paisley’s most current record, is available for purchase today.
