Jimmy Fallon and will.i.am Celebrate Ew! Success

(Radio.com) Jimmy Fallon and will.i.am's jokey youth slang-appropriating "Ew!" has just become next-level viral. After its release last week, the song has entered into the Billboard Hot 100 at No. 26 on the strength of video streams, with their parody duet "Ew!" - for which the video featured both guys dressed as teenage girls - hitting 11.2 million views in 10 days.

To celebrate, Fallon has now shared a YouTube supercut of fan covers. Wednesday night, after learning that he made the Billboard Hot 100, Fallon joked on The Tonight Show, "That means Ryan Seacrest has to play it on his radio show; he's forced to do it," before sharing his supercut of fans.

A couple of seconds shorter, the supercut rendition consists of different fans singing a verse of the song. Ironically or not, many of them are teens - the demographic Fallon and will.i.am were making fun of in the original.

Just like the original, the supercut has gone viral in its own right - in less than 24 hours, the supercut has racked up over 58,000 views. Watch it here.
