One of the group’s recent messages got the attention of the “The Late Late Show” host.

It read:

“Drive like James Corden. Sing, don’t text.”

Corden, whose karaoke segment typically has him driving around with a celebrity singing, saw the tweet and responded:

"This sign in Oregon has blown my mind," he tweeted. "And yeah, don't text and drive, just sing baby."
