James Corden and Claire Danes perform dramatic soap opera using only Katy Perry lyrics
Watch Next

It all starts with a tube of cherry ChapStick in this episode of The Bold and the Lyrical -- a Late Late Show skit in which all the dialogue is song lyrics.

In the video above, James Corden and an ensemble cast of Hollywood's finest act out a dramatic scene to the lyrical stylings of Katy Perry. The episode opens with James Corden waking up in Las Vegas next to Claire Danes and only gets better when Jack McBrayer pops his joyful little head out from under the covers.

Intertwined relationship, dramatic looks, Corden getting smacked multiple times -- Katy Perry's lyrics were made for this kind of intrigue.
