Last night Bette Midler stopped by Jimmy Kimmel Live! to chat about her long career, her upbringing and desire to scale down her performances. She also stuck around for an amusing performance where she sang tweets from Kim Kardashian -- similar to what the Decemberists did with YouTube comments in January.
The late-night host introduced Midler's unusual performance, saying, "Here to sing some of the famous tweets from a woman for whom she named one of her chickens, Miss Kim Kardashian, please welcome Bette Midler..."
The curtains opened and the 69-year-old icon, backed by piano, sang Kardashian's Twitter musings.
"What color is that dress?" Middler sang, referencing Kardashian's tweet about #TheDress from two weeks ago. "I see white and gold Kanye sees black and blue, Who is color blind?"
On the second tweet, Midler took some creative liberties adding "bippity boppity boo" to Kardashian's original post, "Ugh, I hate falling asleep with all my makeup on."
For her final Kardashian tweet -- originally posted in 2013 while the reality star was pregnant with her and husband Kanye West's first child, North West -- fans threw roses onstage as Midler crooned, "I never thought I would ever say this... But I'm wearing flats today."
Kardashian has yet to comment on the segment, but she is a self-proclaimed fan of Midler's, so hopefully she'll appreciate the humor.
Back in 2010, she tweeted about finally meeting the iconic singer.
"OMGI Just met Bette Midler!" she wrote. "She said she watched the show! DYING! Beaches is my all time favorite movie! I really love her!"
In 2013, they had another social media encounter when Midler tweeted to a then-pregnant Kardashian saying she "would look adorable in the maternity clothes they have just on my block!!" Kardashian retweeted Midler, adding, "Let's go shopping!" (via E!).
