The Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders brought their signature pregame “Thunderstruck” routine to The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Wednesday.
The late-night comedy show has a segment where Fallon reads audience suggestions from a box.
Among the crowd-sourced feedback, one woman wrote, “AC/DC is on tour and the new season of America’s Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders just came out on Netflix. I wonder if there’s a way that you can celebrate both at the same time.”

Six of the elite dancers then emerged from a cloud of smoke, flittering their pom-poms as they danced to AC/DC’s “Thunderstruck.” It looks like the Rockettes are not the only dancers who can perform kicklines at Rockefeller Center.
The squad was also at 30 Rock earlier in the week, for a performance of “Thunderstruck” on the Today show sans the jump split at the end (they were dancing on a concrete surface).
Kelli Finglass, director of the DCC, joined the women to talk about the second season of their Netflix docuseries, which released last week.
“They’re just beautiful, brilliant dancers that have trained their whole lives to be artists,” Finglass said.
“The best part of the show to me is to learn more about them personally. We’ve always been very, very guarded of them. And now we’re just telling everything.”
