One year after performing “Jimmy Fallon Big!” on The Tonight Show, Japanese Breakfast’s Michelle Zauner actually got to sit down with Fallon to explain the meaning behind the song named for him (appearing on the band’s 2017 album Soft Sounds From Another Planet). “Before Japanese Breakfast, I used to be in a very unpopular punk band called Little Big League,” Zauner explained to Fallon. “And our bass player left to join another band that was more popular. He sat me down at the table and was like, ‘I love this band. I wish we could continue on together, but this other band has invited me to play, and we’re gonna be Jimmy Fallon big. And so, I have to pursue my dream.'”
