Joseph Gordon-Levitt sings ragtime version of 'Bitch Better Have My Money'
Jimmy Fallon's recurring ragtime cover band, The Ragtime Gals, welcomed
special guest Joseph Gordon-Levitt to the stage to bop along to a
pared-down elevator version of Rihanna's "Bitch Better Have My Money."

bread version you see before you, and JGL is a pretty decent ragtime
performer.
