Backstreet Boys. Chicken suits. Jimmy Fallon. What the cluck is this?
Watch Next

If you're a longtime fan of the Backstreet Boys, you'll ever love or truly hate this.

The longtime boy band joined Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show to promote their just-landed album DNA on Thursday night.

But of course, most fans will know the BSB from their back catalogue of hits, in particular 1997's "Everybody (Backstreet's Back)."

Watching AJ McLean, Howie Dorough, Nick Carter, Kevin Richardson, and Brian Littrell dress up in chicken suits as the "Bawkstreet Boys" to cluck the words of their iconic pop song will either delight, enrage or sadden you. But the dudes look like they have fun, and I guess if you can't laugh at yourself...

And besides, it wouldn't be the only time the BSB have dressed up of late.
