Darius Rucker is supporting the troops with a new parody.
The country star appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon’s special Memorial Day episode to surprise the military-only crowd with a patriotic parody of his Hootie & the Blowfish classic “Only Wanna Be with You.”
Darius and Jimmy transformed the song into “Only Wanna Thank the Troops,” and the crowd stood to their feet!
“Army, Coast Guard, Air Force and Marines / Here’s to the Navy for protecting all I see,” Darius sang.
Jimmy then serenaded, “You serve with bravery, you serve with style / you serve with six-pack abs I can barely run a mile.”
Darius performed his latest single “For the First Time” later in the show.
Look for Darius and Lady Antebellum on their Summer Plays On Tour kicking off in July.
