Watch the Roots Play “Twin Peaks” Theme for Kyle MacLachlan on “Fallon”

“Twin Peaks” star Kyle MacLachlan, aka Agent Dale Cooper, was a guest on last night’s episode of “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.” As well as getting involved in a game of “Password” and playing an emoji-based guessing game with Fallon, he talked through his career, at one point making Fallon vibrate with joy by delivering his “damn good coffee” catchphrase. Discussing Angelo Badalamenti’s iconic “Twin Peaks” theme, Fallon let the Roots take over, performing a brief rendition of the motif. Watch it below, around the 3:15 mark in the interview video.

Earlier today, Jon Hopkins shared a piano cover of the theme song. Follow all of Pitchfork’s “Twin Peaks” coverage here, and revisit “The Discomfort Zone: Exploring the Musical Legacy of David Lynch” and “The Musical Legacy of Twin Peaks.”
