'King of Wishful Thinking' - Go West versus Paul Rudd & Jimmy Fallon Comparison

I wanted to do a proper side-by-side of these two music videos, the work that went into recreating Go West's original is kinda crazy.

200, 000 Views, great googily moogily - I'm happy people seem to dig this so much

In Fallon and Rudd's defense -- it's pretty tough to find zebras and handstand-skilled elephants on short notice these days. 😂

The lead singer is my brother and I’ve fancied Paul Rudd for years so this is very confusing for me 😂😂 he nailed the dad moves and receding hairline though and I just love everything about it

I was already very familiar with this song, but watching Paul's enthusiasm for it makes me like the song so much more now.

Paul and Jimmy’s rendition was supposed to be a parody but it came out more like a homage. Good on them! Their version was incredible!

[richjustin]

Paul Rudd really took this role seriously. His facial expressions and hip thrusts were hilarious

[IDiggPattyMayonnaise]

People gonna act like the Go West video wasnt fire back in the day

[tabragalone]

Too funny.. they really did it exactly like the video I didn't realize how close it was!

[SpongeBobaFett]

Never heard of this song before today. Now I'm obsessed with it

[fruityfibre]

So it's confirmed...I will watch anything with Paul Rudd in it 😍😍

[mkeonine]

Wow. Incredible! This just proves Paul Rudd is a very underrated actor!

[goldenblue]

Paul Rudd is my favorite actor so it is really cool to see him doing my favorite song from my childhood ❤

[newpianotutorials]

Uncanny - shame they couldn't get an elephant !

It’s 2021, and I still need to hear this after every break up. Thanks team!

[prosariovv]

Thanks for the side by side video. This was one of my fav songs when I was a kid, heard it on Pretty Woman at the theater omg I'm old lol

[demerit]

This is amazing! Thank you sooo much for making this. I had no idea how much effort Jimmy and Paul put into this.

[viviennepastor]

Request from an Australian fan, can Paul and Jimmy please do Hall and Oats’ Out of touch. Thanks.

[Cacti]

I guess live zoo animals were not in the budget

[womanofacertainage]

Paul is always EXTRA animated and enthused when he does these imitations of old music videos. HILARIOUS!

Wasn't a fan of the group, but adored this song as a kid and loved the redo on Fallon. Thanks for doing this. The remake brought back good memories and you completed the circle <3
