Aug. 14 (UPI) -- James Corden and guest Ariana Grande performed a live, musical version of Titanic using 13 different songs Monday on The Late Late Show.

The late night host and singer kicked off the skit by performing Styx's "Come Sail Away" as the pair boarded the boat as Jack and Rose, the characters famously portrayed by Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet in Titanic.
