Jessica Chastain Beat Happening's "Red Head Walking" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LpTlbnUKhS8 REASON: One day, I hope this song will be played, just to be able to hear someone sing without emotion. Or add emotion so someone will go "well damn, this song is really good. Maybe it will take me until Fallon says goodbye to the show but I'll keep pushing. Obvious reason: her hair.
Timothee Chalamet Etta James' "842-3089 (Call My Name)" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLY6DaiuARM REASON: He stars in CALL ME BY YOUR NAME. I was also going to suggest "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" ("just call my name, I'll be there in a hurry") or Go West's "Call Me" but I'll stick with Etta James' rendition.
Justin Verlander & Kate Upton "A Bicycle Built For Two" REASON: Also known as the "Daisy, Daisy" song, I figured since they are a couple, I chose something fitting. In truth, I had wanted to pick The Vaselines' "Rory Rides Me Raw", a song about a man named Rory who rides his bicycle raw and the bicycle sings a love song to Rory. Yes, it's an actual song. The Vaselines were a huge influence for Kurt Cobain and they covered their songs a number of times, especially "Molly's Lips". Anyway, "Rory Rides Me Raw" lead me to "A Bicycle Built For Two" because I figured a nicer bicycle song would (arguably) be better.
