Kelly Clarkson Continues the ’80s ‘Kellyoke’ Theme With Kool & the Gang Cover

After her spunky, colorful rendition of A Flock of Seagulls’ new wave classic hit “I Ran (So Far Away),” Kelly Clarkson continued her journey through the 1980s for her eponymous talk show on Wednesday (April 20).

This time, the singer and host took on Kool & the Gang‘s totally far out 1981 hit, “Get Down On It.” To complete the throwback theme, Clarkson rocked a zebra print blazer, a bright red lip and a big, teased hairstyle.
