Last night was the night of nights when Bruce "The Boss" Sringsteen joined Late Night show host Jimmy Fallon to sing a duet mocking New Jersey governor Chris Christie after a George Washington Bridge scandal, according to a report by the Daily Mail.

Jimmy Fallon and Bruce Springsteen took to the stage, dressed in the same outfit reminiscent of the Boss' getup in 'Born in the U.S.A.' era. The iconic Springsteen look - denim shirts, red bandanas, and aviator sunglasses - were also donned by the Late Night show host. The mocking song sang to the tune of 'Born to Run.'

Many believe that the latest national TV mockery of Christie is the New Jersey governor's lowest point yet, considering that Christie has long been a Bruce Springsteen fan. To have his music icon ridicule him on national TV, people believe, shows the backlash on Christie's involvement in the George Washington Bridge scandal.

Jimmy Fallon and Bruce Springsteen sang a song titled, 'Governor Chris Christie's Fort Lee, New Jersey Traffic Jam,' and joked about the New Jersey governor's involvement in the closure of lanes on the George Washington Bridge September of last year.

Last week, emails were reported to have emerged which revealed the governor's aides punishing Fort Lee's mayor for refusing to endorse Christie. As a result, the aides snarled at commuter traffic entering his town by the bridge.

The song went,

'Oh maybe this Bridgegate was just pay back,' Fallon sang. 'It's a b**** slap to the state democrats. We gotta get out but we can't - we're stuck in Chris Christe's Fort Lee New Jersey traffic jam.'

Then Springsteen joined singing the lines,

'You got Wall Street masters stuck cheek to cheek with blue collared truckers.

'And man I really gotta take a leak but I can't, I'm stuck in Governor Chris Christie's Fort Lee, New Jersey traffic jam.'
