The Center For Disease Control Boys' "We're The Center For Disease Control Boys"
https://youtu.be/iY4iEEWb7c8?t=3m12s
REASON: She is in A KID LIKE JAKE and this is the song I thought of. The Center For Disease Control Boys were a Seattle country group and they released one record as part of the Reagan era. It is of note because Chris Cornell of Soundgarden was a special guest in the song, performing as "Jake", thus it would be his verse you'd be singing:

"Well, my names Jake (HOWDY, JAKE!)
I go to work, for crissakes
but while I'm workin, I hope Jesus ain't watchin'
'Cause I take monkeys from the zoo
They look a lot like me and you
and then I shoot 'em full of lethal toxins"

Also, the guy who is at 1:53 is the late Ben McMillan, singer for Skin Yard and Gruntruck. Skin Yard should have been the next "it" band of Seattle, partly because Jack Endino was also their guitarist and while they were popular in the underground, they never made it big. Daniel House of C/Z Records was a member of Skin Yard and C/Z was Chris Hanszek's label before giving it to House. At this point, discussion about Skin Yard becomes incestuous so I'll stop.





Letitia Wright
Reba McEntire's "My Sister"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9ljFRnTzpA
REASON: Wright is the sister of T'Challa but is here to represent her own. I realize suggesting a Reba song may be like "wait: Reba?" but I figure sisterly love is sisterly love, and Reba is hot. YEAH, I SAID IT!!! Thus, why not? Lyrics are lyrics, doesn't matter what the assigned genre is.
