LISTEN: Jamie Foxx cover of ‘The Brady Bunch’ theme song goes viral

Jamie Foxx’s impressive rendition of “The Brady Bunch” theme song, which he performed during his 2002 comedy special “Jamie Foxx: I Might Need Security,” went viral this weekend, serving as a reminder of how talented the performer is.

This one of my favorite jokes for a couple reasons.
1. You learn something about Jamie.
2. Hardly any other comics can do this.
3. It's just downright hilarious. pic.twitter.com/xxi0Oi0OJ2

In the clip, Foxx sits at a grand piano as he announces he’s about to “take a song off TV and make it sound good enough to make love to, even if the song is...”

He's one of those *insanely* talented people who can do all of it. Dance, sing, act, comedy, drama, you name it and look fantastic while doing it. He is the paragon of talent for me and I compare ultra-talented people to him.

He then seductively sings the first line of “The Brady Bunch” theme song.

#JamieFoxx is trending! I've said in so many interviews he's the ULTIMATE performer with the ideal career & aspired me to do it ALL! I've done stand up, sketch, TV, film, a biopic, sing, & produce. CLEARLY not on his level lol but as a performing artist he's the blueprint! 🐐👏🏾💐
