Late Night with Seth Meyers featured the six minute scene and song from Fun Home, when Medium Alison (Emily Skeggs), a freshman college student, kisses a classmate, Joan (Roberta Colindrez), and then later, while Joan sleeps on Alison’s bed, breaks into song. (Lyrics below)

What happened last night? Are you really here?

Joan Joan Joan Joan Joan

Hi Joan Don’t wake up, Joan Oh my god last night

Oh my god Oh my god Oh my god Oh my god last night I got so excited

I was too enthusiastic

Thank you for not laughing

Well you laughed a little bit

at one point when I was touching you and said I might lose consciousness which you said was adorable

and I just have to trust

that you don’t think I am an idiot or some kind of an animal

I never lost control

due to overwhelming lust

But I must say that I’m

Changing my major to Joan

I’m changing my major to sex with Joan I’m changing my major to sex with Joan with a minor in kissing Joan

Foreign study to Joan’s inner thighs A seminar on Joan’s ass in her Levis And Joan’s crazy brown eyes

Joan, I feel like Hercules

Oh god that sounds ridiculous Just keep on sleeping through this and I’ll work on calming down

so by the time you’ve woken up I’ll be cool I’ll be collected and I’ll have found some dignity but who needs dignity?

‘cause this is so much better

I’m radiating happiness

Will you stay here with me

for the rest of the semester?

We won’t need any food

We’ll live on sex alone

Sex with Joan!

I am writing a thesis on Joan!

It’s a cutting edge field and my mind is blown I will gladly stay up ev’ry night to hone

My compulsory skills with Joan

I will study my way down her spine Familiarize myself with her well-made outline While she researches mine!

I don’t know who I am

I’ve become someone new

Nothing I just did

is anything I would do

Overnight everything changed, I am not prepared I’m dizzy I’m nauseous I’m shaky I’m scared

Am I falling into nothingness

or flying into something so sublime? I don’t know!

But I’m

Changing my major to Joan

I thought all my life I’d be all alone But that was before I was lying prone

in this dorm room bed with Joan

Look, she drooled on the pillow–so sweet All sweaty and tangled-up in my bed sheet And my heart feels…

Complete

Let’s never leave this room

How’ bout we stay here ‘til finals

I’ll go to school forever

I’ll take out a dementedly huge high-interest loan ‘Cause I’m changing

my major
