Hayley Williams has revealed US talk show host Jimmy Fallon was an unlikely inspiration behind Paramore‘s music.It comes as Paramore released their remix album ‘Re: This Is Why’ today (October 6), which honours artists who have either influenced the members or who the band have gone on to inspire. In a new appearance on The Tonight Show discussing the album, host Jimmy Fallon asked the frontwoman about her early influences.Alongside Deftones, Failure, and The Cure, she unveiled one more surprising influence: Jimmy Fallon himself.Williams, who met future Paramore members Zac and Josh Farro – the latter of which has since left the band – at a homeschooling supplemental programme in Tennessee, said Fallon’s 2003 comedy song ‘Idiot Boyfriend’ “took over our homeschool”.“[It was a] huge hit with the Paramore crew!” she joked.Fallon then asked Williams if he was the influence for Paramore, and she confirmed: “Yes! 100 per cent!”Williams explained that she discovered Fallon’s deep cut on MTV, which would play every morning that the Paramore band members would meet up: “Your song played more than John Mayer at the same time”, she said.The rock musician went on to praise the ‘Idiot Boyfriend’ music video as “iconic”, which features a fresh-faced Zooey Deschanel.

who’s facing a multitude of sexual misconduct allegations, is in more hot water — after a resurfaced video shows Brand suggestively bouncing singer Katharine McPhee on his knee during a 2013 appearance on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.” Brand, 48, has been accused of rape, sexual assault and emotional abuse by four women stretching from 2006 to 2013. He has denied the claims.In the three-and-a-half-minute clip, Brand jokingly refused to move from his chair alongside Fallon, 48, when McPhee, 39, came over to chat with the host. He then grabbed McPhee’s hand and she sat on his lap, as Brand told Fallon, “She’s welcome to sit here.”“No, Russell, don’t even say for the Queen, you can’t,” Fallon said, referring to McPhee, who looked uncomfortable.
Brand then shouted “for the Queen!” as he bounced a shocked McPhee on his knee before she quickly stood up.“Russell, please stop,” Fallon implored Brand. “Look away.”“I’ll just be here, with my sexual charisma,” Brand creepily responded — and then proceeded to flirt with McPhee during her interview with Fallon. “As you know, I’ve announced it, I find Katharine very attractive and I think when she said ‘exchange numbers’ I thought of things that I’d like to exchange with her,” Brand said.
He then shouted, somewhat nonsensically, “Numbers. And genes. Genetic info.
Data.”“What is happening right now!” McPhee exclaimed.He finally stopped when the conversation turned to McPhee’s husband, Nick Cokas. The pair later split and she married David Foster in 2019.“You can drop that guy any day!” Brand said to a shocked McPhee. “Russell, no! Russell, no!” Fallon said, laughing.“I didn’t know you were married,” Brand said sheepishly.
