Anna Kendrick was not invited to drive in a vehicle with James Corden and sing any sort of carpool karaoke on Wednesday night.
But that doesn"t mean the actress didn"t get involved in a hilarious musical segment with the CBS host.
Instead of singing opposite Corden in a car, though, Kendrick starred with the actor and comedian on set, acting out the various stages of a relationship through song.
This medley of various pop love singes was dubbed Soundtrack to a Love Story.
True to the roots of both (as theater kids), Corden and Kendrick didn’t merely cycle through the canon of modern pop love songs… they also moved between outfits and miniature sets.
They basically put on their own version of multiple plays, all over the course of a few minutes.
It was rather impressive.
Oh, and did we mention they did The Robot?
Kendrick opened the skit with Aretha Franklin’s “I Say a Little Prayer,” as she acted as a woman putting on makeup and preparing for a date.
From there, Corden came in with Chris Burgh’s “Lady in Red,” as the two moved to a bar scene.
There was also some dancing to “I Can’t Feel My Face” and the stars actually getting into bed for Boyz II Men’s “I’ll Make Love to You."
Which Adele song did they cover? Which classic Whitney track?
