Chris Christie, a noted fan of The Boss (when he isn't sleeping through his concerts), probably won't love this. Last night on "Late Night," Jimmy Fallon and his guest Bruce Springsteen donned '70s-era Springsteen attire to parody the seminal New Jersey anthem, "Born to Run." Except this time, the lyrics were devoted to the "bridgegate" scandal surrounding Christie's apparently political closing of the George Washington Bridge, causing major traffic issues.

This scandal has presented many unlikely things, but we didn't think Bruce growling "I really gotta take a leak!" over "Born to Run" would be one of them.

3. Like a lot of Jimmy Fallon musical presentations, excellent!

I will never forget 'Pants on the Ground.'

8. And his St. Patrick's Day Van Morrison spoof was great!

4. The Boss will be hearing from Governor Soprano about this!

6. I bet this breaks CC's heart

7. This is great!

Sorry, CC, we get the Boss!

9. As a proud E Streeter...I of course, LOVE IT.

10. I bet Christie loved it.

The guys an egomaniac. He is not contrite in the slightest for the land closings (although he is sorry his pals had to take the fall). His hero Bruce just made fun of him but in a pretty gentle way. The more the scandal is treated as a joke, the happier he is. He's probably sharing it with his friends.

BTW, I thought it (the song) was hysterical.

11. A new classic!

Makes me admire both these artists all the more. You know you've messed up when The (actual) Boss skins you like that.

19. Exactly! When the Boss comes out and

sings.. "I gotta take a LEEEEEEAAAAAKKKK!!"

14. I think Bruce was trying the flick pass handshake but jabba's paw got hold of him!!!

[Berlum]

13. Excellent

A brilliant musical dagger through the rancid, unprincipled heart of Republicon chickenhawk bully boy Christie and his cabal of morally bankrupt RepubliMinions.

15. Love Bruce and Jimmy

Loved the song too. Can't wait for SNL Saturday, I'd love to see this issue featured prominently and hysterically.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

16. .....heh.....

[Cha]

20. Traffic JAM! Love it!

[City Lights]

17. I saw this on WGN this morning and loved it!

18. Who would think...if you weren't there...about four hours and having to "take a leak"? I mean really

kids on busses, people drinking coffee or water or sodas, baby diapers, metro busses full of people...where did they go? I didn't think of that until I heard The Boss sing it. And those idiots watching and laughing. For Shame.

Loved the performance!
