Ok so ever since "Easy A" we liked Emma Stone, a lot. But her appearance on The Tonight Show put her right at the top for us. If you haven't seen her lip sync battle with Jimmy Fallon yet, then yes this is a must - all 7:26 minutes of it. If you don't want her as your new best friend after that, noone can help you.
See what we mean? Not only is she really, really good (and FAST!), we hadn't heard the song "Hook" by Blues Traveler before, the lyrics of which are actually genius (yes they're very fast, so here goes):
It doesn't matter what I say
So long as I sing with inflection
That makes you feel I'll convey
Some inner truth or vast reflection
But I've said nothing so far
And I can keep it up for as long as it takes
And it don't matter who you are
If I'm doing my job then it's your resolve that breaks
Because the Hook brings you back
I ain't tellin' you no lie
The Hook brings you back
On that you can rely
There is something amiss - I am being insincere
In fact I don't mean any of this, still my confession draws you near
To confuse the issue I refer to familiar heroes from long ago
No matter how much Peter loved her, what made the Pan refuse to grow
Was that the Hook brings you back - I ain't tellin' you no lie
The Hook brings you back. On that you can rely
Suck it in suck it in suck it in
If you're Rin Tin Tin or Anne Boleyn
Make a desperate move or else you'll win
And then begin to see
What you're doing to me this MTV is not for free
It's so PC it's killing me
So desperately I sing to thee of love
Sure but also of rage and hate and pain and fear of self
And I can't keep these feelings on the shelf
I've tried well no in fact I lied
Could be financial suicide but I've got too much pride inside
To hide or slide
I'll do as I'll decide and let it ride until I've died
And only then shall I abide this tide
Of catchy little tunes
Of hip three minute diddys
I wanna bust all your balloons
I wanna burn all your cities to the ground
I've found I will not mess around
Unless I play then hey
I will go on all day. Hear what I say
I have a prayer to pray
That's really all this was
And when I'm feeling stuck and need a buck
I don't rely on luck because The Hook brings you back
I ain't tellin' you no lie. The Hook... On that you can rely
Emma Stone, all you do is win, we love you! Our hands are in the air and stayin' up.
