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.

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

This slowed-down cover might make you never look at “The Brady Bunch” the same way again.
