Waxman Staff Writer Jan 14, 2016 5:51 PM UTC It’s easy to get tired of hearing Drake’s “Hotline Bling,” given how many [memes](http://time.com/4079654/drake-hotline-bling-dancing-memes/) it inspired at the end of 2015\. But there is one rendition that you must listen to before you tune out the song out forever. Jimmy Fallon pretended to be legendary American singer-songwriter Bob Dylan performing the hip-hop star’s hit single on _The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon_ Wednesday night. The cover sounds totally natural and should appeal to folk music lovers. The only bit that the performance was missing? The comedian recreating Drake’s [dance moves](http://time.com/4081317/drake-hotline-bling-memes/) as Dylan. But fans will just have wait and see if Dylan reacts to the cover, or releases his own version (if only).
