Locked in a hard-fought lip-synch battle with Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon, film star Melissa McCarthy (The Boss) pulled out “Colors of Wind” from Pocahontas with music by Alan Menken (Aladdin) and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz (Wicked). She lip-syncs to the voice of multiple Tony nominee Judy Kuhn (Fun Home), who recorded the song for the film.

Her winning performance seems to take place in a hurricane, with everything from leaves, water, feathers and glitter to stuffed animals blowing in her face.

It's the fourth segment in the clip below, with action starting at the 5:45 mark when she dons eye protection.
