Welcome to Radio on the TV, our new weekly roundup of the best of music on television from the preceding week. If Jimmy Fallon performed nursery rhymes as Neil Young or if GWAR sets Letterman's set on fire, you'll find it here. Check back with the AllMusic blog every Friday for what you may have missed that week.

?uestlove and Captain Kirk Douglas of the Roots performed a cover of the current Number One song in the country, Pitbull's "Timber" (feat. Ke$ha), with a Simon and Garfunkel twist.



Bruce Springsteen joined Jimmy Fallon for a reworking of "Born to Run" with fresh lyrics about this week's Chris Christie debacle.



After the silliness, Springsteen brought out the E Street Band for "Heaven's Wall" and "High Hopes," the title track from his latest album, both featuring Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello.





Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings played a pair of cuts from this week's Give the People What They Want on Conan.





Jennifer Nettles of Sugarland performed a track from her solo debut, That Girl, on Letterman.



And be on the lookout this weekend for Drake as both the host and musical guest on Saturday Night Live.
