Rami Malek Queen's "Stone Cold Crazy" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0kTkxhyWNo REASON: He is Freddie Mercury in the biopic. Forget the big radio hits and choose the song that, for many older fans, is the first time they heard Queen on the radio.
"I've been tryin' to tell 'em that I didn't do no wrong Only gave you what you been deservin' all along And you put me here You put me here There ain't no use denyin' You done it with your lyin' As sure as your name's Kate you put me here"

Tyler Perry The Fantastic Four's "Don't Risk Your Happiness On Foolishness" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zF-ij93MgmQ REASON: He's in and directed NOBODY'S FOOL. Since I didn't get this used for Whoopi Goldberg, I'll suggest it here.
Abbi Jacobson Porter Wagoner's "Green Green Grass Of Home" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLnhghhwSm4 REASON: She loves weed. Chorus would work: "Down the road I look and there runs Mary hair of gold and lips like cherries. It's good to touch the green, green grass of home.
Yes, they'll all come to meet me arms reaching, smiling sweetly. It's good to touch the green, green, grass of home"
Change the lyric in the first line to "Down the road, I look and there runs Abbi/hair of hazel and lips like cherries" so she becomes the woman who ends up running into the green green grass of home. Extra bonus points if Hashtag and her can smoke a bong.
Sunny Suljic Suicidal Tendencies' "Possessed To Skate" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iUYnjuFoE6E REASON: Not sure if he's there for a movie of being a skateboarder but all skateboarders will know this song. Plus, the song refers to a young kid who had his start at 8 years old. I don't know Suljic's origins but regardless of their age, most skateboarders become "possessed to skate" at some point in their life.

Clarence and & 41 Small Stars Beastie Boys' "Cooky Pus" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uluk-fS6KHU REASON: 35 years ago, this was my introduction to the group. Bonus points for Hashtag to hand them a box of Cookie Pus.
ALTERNATIVE SELECTION Beastie Boys' "Beastie Boys" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nc9299vZrkU REASON: Their first song released on the POLLY WOG STEW EP, back when Kate Shellenbach was their drummer.

**hey, it's Show #954, and while I don't live there anymore, the 954 raised me and I still (and likely always will) keep a 954 number. So if you can, shout your boy out**
Benedict Cumberbatch "It's Not Easy Being Green" by Kermit the Frog
Minka Kelly "The Break Of Dawn" by De La Soul Note: I was going to suggest this, but I though since it was MJ we could not. LEsson is: suggest anyways.
25. "Would be doper to advocate for an OKP to be hired " In response to Reply # 0
Instead of doing this every week, maybe you could ask the Fallon staff to hire an OKP who has consistently made good music suggestions here? And point other producers to OKP as the source for folks with an ear for music placement? Might as well make this place the Harvard Lampoon of music supervisors.
