Jimmy Fallon's Yahoo! Answers song parodies the hilarious submissions asked on the site.
Anyone who's ever uttered the phrase "there's no such thing as a dumb question" has clearly never browsed the community driven Q&A site. Whether it's genuinely curious (yet clueless) people with face-palm-worthy queries, or Internet trolls looking to stir the pot, the site never fails to entertain.
Jimmy Fallon invited six-time Tony award winner Audra McDonald to perform a few of the funnier submissions in song-form. These include classics such as 'I Swallowed an Ice Cube Last Night (And Then It Disappeared)' and 'Does Vodka Really Kill Bees and Wasps?,' sung in true 1960s lounge fashion. Never have the Q&A's of Yahoo! Answers been so classy.
