Luke Bryan Learns How to Say ‘Gyro’ on ‘The Tonight Show’
Sometimes, all it takes is a song to understand the true pronunciation of a traditional Greek food.
He may have learned a lot while growing up in the deep South of Georgia, but Luke Bryan still gets confused over the pronunciation of one popular Greek food.
Taking his doubts to pal and late night host Jimmy Fallon, the two use music to unfold their massive debacle on how to say the word, ‘gyro.’ The guys take a nod from country music to dissect what the traditional dish is, noting that maybe it should just be called a lamb-tzatziki wrap. As they hilariously sing through every way they think they should say ‘gyro,’ Fallon and Bryan end up calling on the advice from their street vendor friend.
The New York City cart employee chimes in on the correct delivery of the Greek pita meal by claiming it’s said like ‘yee-ro,’ and the chorus of their funny tune picks up with excitement as they jump for joy over the news. Bryan even gets his signature shake on in the back of a pick-up truck with pitas for a prop.
Ultimately though, the country star dismisses all the trouble they went through just to order a kebab with hummus incorrectly. Nonetheless, the song may just happen to be Bryan’s next smash hit with the help of Fallon’s complementary harmonies.
Bryan is currently out on his Huntin’, Fishin’, and Lovin’ Every Day Tour for the spring. Fans can find out more information about the tour on his website.
