Rod Stewartcan fill up a Carpool Karaoke with his hits alone not to mention his tales of rock star debauchery. The singer provided both on TuesdaysLate Late Show, cruising the streets of Los Angeles with host James Corden and rapperA$AP Rocky, who popped up for a backseat cameo.
Corden first triggers Stewarts 1976 version of The First Cut Is the Deepest, which the duo sing passionately. Asked to share hismost rock and roll moment, the rock legend is stumped to find a signature.Theres been so many, he says. We were outrageous with the Faces. Just drinkin and a shaggin and a drinkin and a shaggin! Thats what we did and smashing up hotel rooms. . .In those days, the only bands who were [throwing TVs out hotel windows] were the Faces and the Who. It actually came around because we werent getting the respect we deserved. We paid for hotel rooms; we didnt get room service or anything. We just didnt get any respect.

As the Faces, we were banned from all Holiday Inns, so we used to check in as Fleetwood Mac, Stewart says, after a quick head-bang during the guitar solo. Wed announce [onstage] that we were having a party back at the Holiday Inn, and everybody would flock back. Wed let most of the girls in not all of the men. Thered be hundreds and hundreds. (And as the night winds on, you start to pick your top five, Corden interjects.)
Next up, the duo croon the hook to A$AP Rockys Everyday,which features a sample of Stewarts raspy vocal from the Python Lee Jackson song In a Broken Dream.AfterStewart sings a few bars, A$AP pops up in the backseat and drops a verse.Hes a lovely bloke, too, isnt he? Stewart says of the rapper, who disappears after his cameo. I dont know Ive never met him, Corden cracks.
During their glammy rendition of Da Ya Think Im Sexy?, a guy in the car next to them hears the music and notices the passenger. Thats Rod Stewart! he shouts. God bless you, Rod Stewart!
Stewart talks about losing his virginity at age 15 to a big girl that looked like she was in her thirties the woman whose inspiration spawned the classic rock staple Maggie May. After singing that track, Stewart and Corden finish by harmonizing on the Faces iconic Ooh La La a gentle end to an eclectic set.
