Luckily, [James Corden](http://time.com/4261606/james-corden-carpool-karaoke-special/) put an end to that on Tuesday night’s episode of _The Late Late Show_, enlisting the help of Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Alan Cumming to work a much-needed song into Ned Stark’s beheading scene. The trio also took on _Breaking Bad_ and _Stranger Things_ during the “Inappropriate Musicals” segment, with Cumming performing a jazzy tune as Walter White while Corden took the lead as the Demogorgon to belt out an ’80s rock ballad. “I want to rock your body all around,” Corden sang. “I want to take you pretty mama to the Upside Down.” Watch the full clip below. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4502631/james-corden-game-of-thrones-breaking-bad-stranger-things-musical/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4502631/james-corden-game-of-thrones-breaking-bad-stranger-things-musical/"},"headline":"James Corden Made Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad and Stranger Things Into Inappropriate Musicals","datePublished":"2016-09-21T15:04:48.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:36:47.989Z","description":"\"I want to take you pretty mama to the Upside Down\"","url":"https://time.com/4502631/james-corden-game-of-thrones-breaking-bad-stranger-things-musical/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Television","game of thrones","breaking bad","TV","The Late Late Show","james corden","The Late Late Show with James Corden","Stranger Things"],"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/4502631/james-corden-game-of-thrones-breaking-bad-stranger-things-musical/","name":"James Corden Made Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad and Stranger Things Into Inappropriate Musicals"}}]}] ```
