Leave it to Jimmy Fallon to spin our deepest, heartfelt appreciation for teachers into a catchy tune that sticks in your head. In his latest viral video, @triviachat features Fallon crooning about teachers deserving everything from bottomless wine to cucumber spa days. Yes, he went there, and weâre absolutely here for it!
Jimmy Fallon created a song to show his deep and heartfelt appreciation for teachers.
Fallonâs whimsical ode to educators starts with the basics: a billion-dollar salary and more vacation time. But why stop there? As he serenades the unsung heroes of the chalkboard jungle, Fallon paints a vivid picture of their world. Here, teachers are pampered and adored like the celebrities they truly are.
Hereâs what makes Jimmy Fallonâs song an instant classic among teachers:
âTeachers deserve a month-long spa day âŠâ
Fallon knows that teaching is more akin to a heroic battle than mere child-minding. Teachers deserve recovery time thatâs just as intense as their workday. âCucumbers on their eyesâ transcends spa clichĂ© status, acknowledging the constant rejuvenation teachers need after their daily educational marathons.
âTeachers should have a prom for teachers âŠâ
Imagine a prom where teachers can relive their high school days without the teenage angst. Jimmy Fallon conjures a scene in a high school gym, featuring a disco ball and the counselor leading a dance. The âno grindingâ rule enforced to Ms. Weaver and Mr. Jones adds a humorous touch!
âWhen itâs time for arts and crafts, they should get swarmed by paparazzi who demands selfies and autographs âŠâ
In Fallonâs world, teachers are the true celebrities. This playful fantasy highlights the star quality we should be attributing to our educators, who craft young minds rather, not mere art projects.
âTeachers shouldnât have to pay their taxes. They should get cheered around the clock âŠâ
Why should teachers ever pay taxes when they invest so much in our future? Fallon suggests they should be cheered on constantly, not just within school walls but everywhereâeven at the bank, where, instead of filling out deposit slips, they should have money thrown at them in gratitude. And letâs not forget the Chipotle perks he suggests: unlimited free guacamole to make every teacher feel extra appreciated.
âTeachers should make a billion dollars âŠâ
The refrain that teachers should make a billion dollarsâtwice a week, no lessâisnât just a throwaway line. Itâs a hyperbolic way of saying that no amount of money could ever truly compensate teachers for their invaluable work. This rallying cry turns an impossible figure into a symbol of the immense value that teachers provide society.
TikTok reactions show that Jimmy Fallon is not alone in thinking teachers deserve more.
Nothing like the rallying cry of teachers!
Teachers really do deserve a billion dollars. One of the hardest jobs in the world!
Yesâthis heartfelt song can continue to carry us through a tough year!
Fallonâs skit does more than make us laughâit makes us think about the real value we place on our educators. So, next time you see a teacher, maybe donât throw money at them (unless youâre at a bank, as Fallon suggests), but do show some appreciationâmaybe start with a simple thank you. For more hilarious takes and heartfelt tributes to our everyday heroes, keep tuning in. And yes, Jimmy, we agreeâteachers really should make a billion dollars. Twice a week, at least.
