David Byrne and the cast of his Broadway play American Utopia stopped by The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Monday (March 7th). During the appearance, they performed Byrne’s 2001 track “Like Humans Do.”

Barefoot on stage, Byrne and two other cast members sang about the mundane existence of being human while breaking out a variety of stylish dance moves. All dressed in gray suits, they had smiles on their faces while accompanied by a small fleet of guitarists and percussionists, who were given the opportunity to step to the front before the performance was over.

Watch the performance of “Like Humans Do” below.

Based on Byrne’s 2018 album of the same name, the Broadway play features Byrne and his 11-piece mobile ensemble playing songs from American Utopia, other tracks from his solo catalog, and Talking Heads material.

American Utopia is in the midst of a six-month run at St. James Theatre concluding on April 3rd. Grab your seat now via Ticketmaster.

Last September, American Utopia was presented with a Special Tony Award, leaving Byrne an Emmy Award away from obtaining EGOT status. This year, he’s teamed up with Yo La Tengo to cover Yoko Ono’s “Who Has Seen the Wind?,” lent Aussie pop singer Montaigne an assist on “Always Be You,” and contributed to the soundtrack for the upcoming A24 film Everything Everywhere All at Once.
