Watch Keith Urban Cover Sabrina Carpenter's "Espresso" on Banjo

Why not

Are you tired of "Espresso" yet? What about Keith Urban, just generally? Jimmy Fallon? If the answer to at least two of these is "no," then I've got the content for you.

Keith Urban was a guest on Fallon's Tonight Show last night (September 24), promoting his new album High and playing his song "Chuck Taylors." He also took a seat to chat with Fallon for a bit, which resulted in a spontaneous (just kidding) cover of Sabrina Carpenter's "Espresso" on a banjo that Fallon pulled from behind his desk.

The cover is fun, though I'm not 100 percent convinced Urban had all the lyrics right (and I won't be watching again to confirm). The whole bit came about because of Urban's habit of covering pop songs — a few months ago he tackled Ariana Grande's "We Can't Be Friends," which he said was his "absolute current obsession song." 

"You can do any well-written song in almost any style," Urban said before country-frying Carpenter's smash hit.
