Charlize Theron
Kandi Burruss' "What I'm Gon Do To You"
https://youtu.be/XGCruUFfJ_U
REASON: She plays Imperator Furiosa in the new MAD MAX film, thus since I like Kandi, I went for this. aiming in the fourth line:
"Revenge is a must when my heart you crush
You know I'm goin' burn yo' house to dust
'cause a girl really gets so serious
**when you really make a girl so furious**
It's such a shame, what I'm gonna do to you"




Tom Brokaw
First off, with the 30th anniversary of Fishbone's debut EP in September, Fallon should somehow bring them on and if at all possible, the original guys. If not, then I will definitely make an early request for "Voyage To The Land Of The Freeze Dried Godzilla Farts". I only say this because handle's "Another Generation" suggestion is perfect. Anyway. my pick:
=========
Joboxers' "Just Got Lucky"
https://youtu.be/22UiyygG9QY
REASON: Brokaw's new book is called A LUCKY LIFE INTERRUPTED, so while the title suggests that Brokaw considers himself a lucky man, I didn't want to be typical and suggest Tom Petty's "You Got Lucky" so I went for a song I remember from the early days of MTV, as I do from time to time. The group were British but the singer was the only American and arguably is one of the reasons why the group had some sense of soul (figuratively and literally), thus why I like this song a lot. They were somewhat a cross between Madness, English Beat, and Dexy's Midnight Runners.
