The swoon-worthy singer appeared on ‘The Late Show with Stephen Colbert’ earlier this week to promote his new tour, ‘Darkness and Light’, which is touring in the UK this September.

But, being the gentleman that he is, John also treated the audience to renditions of a few non-traditional tunes in a segment called, ‘John Legend Makes Mundane Things Sound Sexy.’

“I bet you could make anything, no matter how mundane, sound sexy,” Stephen challenged the star.

“It’s possible,” the musician agreed.

He then effortlessly crooned his way through a ditty about shopping at Costco for household supplies.

“Honey, I’m running out to the Costco,” the ten-time Grammy Award-winner sang. “There’s no such thing as too many paper towels.” And at this point, we were wondering whether John Legend had ever been more relatable.

“That’s pretty sexy,” he quipped. “I like that.”

Thankfully, he wasn’t finished.

“Baby, my beige turtleneck is pilling, so please wash it inside out,” he continued. “Tumble dry, tumble dry, tumble dry low.”

Phew, we’re feeling a little hot under our beige turtleneck collar.

‘The Late Show with Stephen Colbert’ airs weeknights at 11:35pm on CBS.
