Miley Cyrus nearly failed to identify one of her own hit records when she appeared on Jimmy Fallon on Thursday.
The 26-year-old singer took 27 seconds to recognise Party In The USA was being played by The Roots, during a game of Name That Song.
'It took you that long to get that one?' joked the chat show host, when Miley finally blurted out the name of her seven time platinum hit single from 2009.
Jimmy had challenged The Climb hitmaker to a head to head in the challenge, which involved The Roots playing songs, one instrument at a time.
