Donald Glover, a.k.a. Childish Gambino, popped up on the _​The Late Late Show_ ​in support ​of his ​surrealist rap comedy-drama _​Atlanta_​ and James Corden made sure to take advantage of Glover's wide musical acumen. The two discussed the eternal mystery behind Seal's "Kiss from a Rose," namely: what the hell Seal is singing on that song? The mumbling duet between Glover and Corden as they try to figure it out is worth a watch, especially for their enthusiastic burst into the song's chorus, which is the only part anyone knows, apparently.

Then there's an impromptu jam session with Glover and _​Late Late Show_ ​bandleader Reggie Watts as Watts lays down a partially a capella funk beat for Glover to improvise over vocally. And then the dance moves begin. ​Gambino has the range, looks like. Watch both the Seal and jam session segments below.

Reggie Watts uses his nightly question to lay down a beat for Donald Glover to sing and dance to, and beautiful music is created.
