The duo donned some kooky outfits and delivered the school news by parodying several popular songs. Principal Davidson (Fallon) and Vice Principal Cook (Union) updated the lyrics of hits by artists such as The Weeknd, Walk The Moon and Rihanna to brief students on everything they needed to know. “You can’t use your Facebook at this school,” Union sang to the tune of “Can’t Feel My Face.” “Cause we blocked it.” But the _Top Five_ actress had the most enthusiasm while delivering a rendition of “Bitch Better Have My Money” to inform a student named Mitchell Henderson that he was the only one who hadn’t paid his field trip money. “Mitch better have my money,” she belted out. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4071277/gabrielle-union-jimmy-fallon-musical-morning-announcements/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4071277/gabrielle-union-jimmy-fallon-musical-morning-announcements/"},"headline":"Watch Gabrielle Union Sing The Morning Announcements with Jimmy Fallon","datePublished":"2015-10-13T14:44:44.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:25:56.209Z","description":"\"Most entertaining and musical morning announcement duo in the Tri-County area\"","url":"https://time.com/4071277/gabrielle-union-jimmy-fallon-musical-morning-announcements/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Television","Music","jimmy fallon","The Tonight Show","Rihanna","TV","The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon","the weeknd"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Megan McCluskey","jobTitle":"Staff Writer","url":"https://time.com/author/megan-mccluskey/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4071277/gabrielle-union-jimmy-fallon-musical-morning-announcements/","name":"Watch Gabrielle Union Sing The Morning Announcements with Jimmy Fallon"}}]}] ```
