Jackman sang some of the lyrics before coming to the realization that it has a rap feel to it.
Naturally, we were treated to a beat and Jackman was joined on stage by special guests T.I. and LL Cool J to give a rap rendition of “The Music Man,” which brought plenty of laughs to the crowd and the viewing audience at home.
