Would you sing a song for a man speaking from a gas pump?
Will did — and his impromptu performance so impressed the Tonight Show pranksters behind the stunt that he ended up entertaining millions in an NBC studio.
In the middle of a suburban gas station, without any accompaniment, the bartender belted out Bon Jovi’s Livin’ on a Prayer while his wife howled with laughter.
Not only that, when asked for a duet by the man in the gas pump, his wife, dressed in baggy sweatpants and bandana, got out of the car and sang a pitch perfect “Sweet Dreams” by the Eurythmics.
The two-way camera mounted in the gas pump, along with cameras surrounding the car videotaped the whole scene as Will and Monifa Sims were prompted to sing more.
Jay Leno was so impressed that he invited the pair on his show. He said it was rare to see a couple so happy together. They sang with the Tonight Show band and led the entire audience, including Jay, in a rowdy clap-fest.
This just confirms that it might pay off to step out of your comfort zone, if prompted…

Such Happiness is infectious thank you two for being so spirited,and full of fun bless you GG
That was so coooooool. Thanks for sharing John.
They were so natural and they had the direcness to engage the audence, they are part of what makes the USA great, “we the people” having a great time just being them selves. They should be entertainers…..
Loved seeing something positive… Just an everyday working couple. You can tell they look at life as a gift and find happiness in their surroundings.
Hey, these guys are great, they should get picked up by the Voice!!!! I thoroughly enjoyed them…
totally awesome! happy people !
That was great, I smiled through the whole thing. Thanks!
LOVE! LOVE! AND LOVE THIS!!!
Great Singing !! More people should just break out and sing like this if they feel it. The world would be a much happier place. I do this when I’m driving down the road in my truck and the music truly inspires me. Have had a lot of people smile and say “”sing it girl !!”” So much fun. Congratulations to this awesome couple. Betty
Thanks for airing a positive couple. May they inspire other couples to have fun & enjoy life!
Love it! It made me smile!
Completely awesome…. what fun!!!
So glad to find goodnewsnetwork , I have been saying for years ‘sombody’ should do it, glad someone did!
Love love it!! Great idea!!!! Enjoyed this!!!
Completely awesome!
cyberjamz.com thinks your singing is awesome and blessed……
Wonderfully refreshing to see the love. “Ordinary” people are extraordinary!
absolutely lovely couple…happy and talented 🙂
They should be given a recording contract. These two could sing professionally!! They are very good!
Annmarie, I will sing with you and do crazy things! (I live near DC and love interacting with strangers.)
so i have a friend who said this is something I would do, and indeed i would, even if my spouse would be only a “silent partner!”
I’m with you, Vernyce! I would do it, too (and have a shy partner who would never do this.
That’s what makes this story cool. They both enjoy singing in front of strangers and carrying on with abandon. I bet this is pretty rare. And so fun to watch!
That was awesome!!! It’s so refreshing to find a couple that can enjoy life together and have FUN!! Lets remember to not take each other for granted and really love those we love!! Thanks for sharing Bruce!!
Awesome! This is what makes America so great. You think this happens in Russia?
