"When was the last time you got to do this?" Corden asks as they cruise. "I've been in a car, maybe it was months ago, with my daughter who learned to drive," she replies. "That was the only time in seven and a half years that I've been in the passenger seat listening to music, rockin' out like this."

The two then bust out with Beyonce's Single Ladies.

The two also will perform a karaoke duet of This is For My Girls, a charity song for the Let Girls Learn initiative, Entertainment reported.. The song, produced by MAKERS.com and commissioned by Obama relates to the stigma that prevents girls from getting their rightful education.
