Benicio Del Toro
DJ Shadow's "Walkie Talkie"
https://youtu.be/g-cDufgt8dY?t=25s
REASON: Since he is being nicknamed as "DJ" in THE LAST DJ, I focus on the part of the song that says:
"I'm a bad... motherfuckin'... DJ
THIS IS WHY I WALK AND TALK THIS WAY"

ALTERNATE CHOICE:
the chorus to Jane Child's "Don't Wanna Fall In Love"
https://youtu.be/zWd__w5UWVc?t=1m43s
REASON: Wiki describes his character in THE LAST JEDI as "if you grab him by the blade, he’ll cut you. If you grab him by the handle, he can be very, very useful.” Thus:

"don't wanna fall in love
love cuts just like a knife
you make the knife feel good
I'll fight you 'til the end"




Ruby Rose
INXS' "Hear That Sound"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NrRFrLUP63Y
REASON: She's from Australia, she's in PITCH PERFECT 3 so I chose a song fitting from where she's from and a song relating to someone singing, thus...

"Hear that sound
There's a voice to be found
Making changes go round
Hear that sound"

This was the last song on their 1990 album, X, the one with "Suicide Blonde" and "Bitter Tears".
