"I think I was so shocked, like I was in a true state of disbelief that I didn't really have to do anything," Jane has now shared.

"We shot that late at night after a really long day, and everybody was exhausted.

"And then that song happened, and everybody was in the best mood. And if anyone can pull that song off, it's John Stewart apparently."

Speaking to E! Online, Jane added that the song - which has over a billion streams - was completely unknown to her co-star, which made filming the scene even more "funny".

But during a routine check-up, she is gifted with the ability to hear people's innermost thoughts through the medium of big, colorful musical numbers.
