He wears the hulkbuster armor in the next installment. Just play it from the line "hulk bustin makes me feel good" and go into guitar solo. https://youtu.be/Fe93CLbHjxQ Or just do young Mc bust a move.
Robert Downey Jr Mickey & The Soul Generation's "Iron Leg" https://youtu.be/YOb0JOdlxz4 REASON: He is in the new AVENGERS film as Iron Man.
Fran Lebowitz The Pretty Things' "Progress" https://youtu.be/MTxX-Zi5LYI REASON: Her new book is called PROGRESS. Utilize the horn section for this one.
Why: - Lyrical/plot parallels between that and 'The Avengers: Age of Ultron' - He's in both movies - This August marks 30 years since the film's release
Why? He plays Iron Man. He also made Clint Eastwood slap his mama! (And it's interesting that none of us suggest Black Sabbath's version - or we too cool for school?)

Why? He plays Hawkeye who shoots a bow and arrow. And you played it as part as the walkovers. (Or hip-hop-i-fy it 90% by playing the Blazing Arrow arrangement.)

Kristen Wiig Maxwell's "Welcome" https://youtu.be/HjErEiBekds REASON: I originally thought The Who song (from TOMMY), then Santana (from the WELCOME album), then Frankie Goes To Hollywood (for "Welcome To The PleasureDome") but then I thought I'll just go to Maxwell's first album. This is for Wiig's new film, WELCOME TO ME.
Thomas Middleditch Cecilio & Kapono's "I Am The Other Man" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RFjfaNrR6ds REASON: Cecilio & Kapono were a Hawaiian pop/rock duo from the 1970's who were signed to Columbia Records and released three albums. Percussionist Bobbye Hall (who played on SONGS IN THE KEY OF LIFE along with tons of other albums) played on it. Anyway, change the lyric to "I am a Nelson man, yes I am a Nelson man", as he comes from Nelson, a small town up in British Columbia.
Plus, it would be a way for me to get at least one Hawai'i-related song played by you guys.

Scarlett Johansson Link Wray & His Ray Men's "The Black Widow" https://youtu.be/TFzSB0W8pWE REASON: Her role in the new AVENGERS film.
David Steinberg Neil Sedaka's "Laughter In The Rain" https://youtu.be/SsYIiY2wnyU REASON: Due to being a comedian and his show is called INSIDE COMEDY.
ALTERNATE CHOICE Gene Chandler's "After The Laughter" https://youtu.be/X8BA7YWwoNU REASON: Despite the title, no relation to teh song by Wendy Rene, despite it being called "After The Laughter (Here Comes The Tears)".
Why? According to Wikipedia it says he was the Best Man at Crazy Joe Gallo's wedding. And Lester Bangs calls the song "repellent romanticist bullshit."

Helen Hunt Honk's "Pipeline Sequence" https://youtu.be/VVnXdWgwAY4?t=45s REASON: Hunt is in a new movie called RIDE, which has to do with surfing, so do what is considered one of the best songs used for any surf movie. I suggested this during LATE NIGHT and I'll try again.
25. "Also, special request (if possible) for Friday's show" In response to Reply # 13
If I can add something extra, I'll try. I wanted this since THE TONIGHT SHOW with Fallon started last year and I was like "The Roots gotta do this".
After Higgins says "the legendary Roots crew" and the horn section plays their three notes, get into a brief portion of Chic's "Le Freak", specifically the part which says "just come on down to 54", but instead of referring to the disco club, it refers to the episode number:
"just come on down, 254"
and then boom, go back to the normal part of Fallon's introduction.
