Why? He FAMOUSLY said "nigga" on SNL weekend update and he's now in charge. (I forget , can I get away with suggestions like this, or is this over the line?)
Michael Che Parliament's "Ride On" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GJoHuXCy-Dc REASON: He's now the head writer of SNL so now he can "write on" and thus, one can say "right on!"
>mg: Sofi Tukker For some reason I thought Sohie Tucker might still be alive - I was hoping. (I looked it up - she'd have been 130 years old next Thursday.)

Desus & Mero Vicki Sue Robinson's "We Found Each Other" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8ojfQAheXQ REASON: I originally chose Pet Shop Boys' "Being Boring" because I find Desus to be a bore but I went optimistic.
(on the Bodega Boys podcast, they go through a litany of aliases at the beginning of every episode. One Nero's aliases is The Plantain Supernova in the Sky, which he sings to the tune of this song. “One day you will find me, smoking weed on Tremont/in the Plantain Supernova in the sky”)

Timothee Chalamet Isley Brothers' "That Lady" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1Mvy3E8P2U REASON: For the Golden Globes adventure with Miss Clackamas Mall ice skater heself, Tonya H.
Why: He's in 'Call Me By My Name.' (still need to see this one; it's in the Top 5 critically reviewed films of 2017 by Rotten Tomatoes along with 'Lady Bird,' 'Get Out,' 'The Shape of Water,' and one other that I can't recall at the moment...)
--alternate suggestion, with all due credit to seandammit: Destiny Child's "Say My Name" for both. No one outside of Ireland can say Saoirse's same correctly. And Timothee stars in Call Me By Your Name.--

Sam Rockwell I was going to pick Bruce Springsteen's "I'm On Fire" but I remembered he's on the "no" list so... Blaze Foley' "Girl Scout Cookies" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kA3TU9brTaE REASON: He's in BLAZE, a biopic about country singer Blaze Foley. It sounds like something you'd hear on a children's record and perhaps it was meant to be that way. Anyway, the song is the first song on Foley's debut album.
Tig Notaro Rose Royce's "I'm Going Down" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6CuYdxN7r-E REASON: Notaro will appear in a future episode of FRESH OFF THE BOAT that will be called "The Car Wash" and out of the many songs on the Rose Royce soundtrack, many will remember it for its use in the film. Also, most would never associate Rose Royce with Notaro and while it would be far too easy to just play "Car Wash". I'm never that obvious. I always aim towards that one person in the audience who will hear it and go "OH! I GET IT!" https://i.imgur.com/PnpzJ78.jpg
Why: His character in '3 Billboards' is a bad cop...who kind of maybe becomes a better (if not good) cop? Sidenote: this movie fucking sucked, don't believe the hype.

Camila Cabello Art Of Noise's "Camilla (The Old Old Story)" https://youtu.be/riHKJFgP0uI?t=1m13s REASON: From Art Of Noise's second album, IN VISIBLE SILENCE, thought it would be fitting. Being able to hear James play the piano melody and Mark to do the bassline would be very cool. I'm sure you or James will say "that's not a piano but a glass melody" before someone says "no, that's A1752b" but... point is, this is the song I'd like for you to play for her.
