singing at the gas pump-Tonight ShowWould you sing a song for a man speaking from a gas pump?

Will did — and his impromptu performance so impressed the Tonight Show pranksters behind the stunt that he ended up entertaining millions in an NBC studio.

In the middle of a suburban gas station, without any accompaniment, the bartender belted out Bon Jovi’s Livin’ on a Prayer while his wife howled with laughter.

Not only that, when asked for a duet by the man in the gas pump, his wife, dressed in baggy sweatpants and bandana, got out of the car and sang a pitch perfect “Sweet Dreams” by the Eurythmics.

The two-way camera mounted in the gas pump, along with cameras surrounding the car videotaped the whole scene as Will and Monifa Sims were prompted to sing more.

Jay Leno was so impressed that he invited the pair on his show. He said it was rare to see a couple so happy together. They sang with the Tonight Show band and led the entire audience, including Jay, in a rowdy clap-fest.

This just confirms that it might pay off to step out of your comfort zone, if prompted…

  8. They were so natural and they had the direcness to engage the audence, they are part of what makes the USA great, “we the people” having a great time just being them selves. They should be entertainers…..

  9. Great Singing !! More people should just break out and sing like this if they feel it. The world would be a much happier place. I do this when I’m driving down the road in my truck and the music truly inspires me. Have had a lot of people smile and say “”sing it girl !!”” So much fun. Congratulations to this awesome couple.

  10. I’m with you, Vernyce! I would do it, too (and have a shy partner who would never do this.

    That’s what makes this story cool. They both enjoy singing in front of strangers and carrying on with abandon. I bet this is pretty rare. And so fun to watch!

  11. That was awesome!!! It’s so refreshing to find a couple that can enjoy life together and have FUN!! Lets remember to not take each other for granted and really love those we love!! Thanks for sharing Bruce!!

  12. This was a great story with a beautiful ending. The were a great couple with a wonderful personality. I’m glad Jay Leno gave the world a opportunity to see what loving couples should be like.

    Thank Jay
