Justin Timberlake continued his week-long stint on NBC's LATE NIGHT WITH Jimmy Fallon, joining the host in a skit about two campers having a bit of trouble sleeping at summer camp...in 1983.

After passing on the idea of telling ghost stories or sneaking into the girls' cabin to steal their underpants, Fallon suggests they sing a tune they heard on the radio earlier that day. "Oh, you mean 'Africa' by Toto," Timberlake offers, "I love that song. But let's try and keep it down. It's after lights out." While starting off quietly, the duo eventually turn up the volume, singing the song at the top of their lungs! Check out the skit below!
