Bette Midler
Buddy Fo & His Group's "Malia My Tita"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fOqaSIJyLSk
REASON: An old hapa haole (i.e. half Hawaiian, half English) song that was popular when she was raised in Aiea, a part of Honolulu. Because she was a white girl, she had to make sure that she steered way from people who would hurt her and thus she became what Hawaiians call a "tita" ("tit-ah"), or a rough girl. She had to cop an attitude to get through and people accepted her because of it, she was not to be messed with. Thus, feel free to change the title to "Midler My Tita". I know you guys will not play this but anytime someone has roots from Hawai'i, I want to show respect that way through you guys.

OR... rather than a walk-out song, since she is a musical guest, if you're able to have her perform "Daytime Hustler" as a web exclusive song, I'll take that. This is the song that was one of the samples in Young MC's "Bust A Move", which means the emphasis of the break.

Jim Gaffigan
Rev. Horton Heat's "Let Me Teach You How To Eat"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H96XcNWKZVg
REASON: His new book is called FOOD: A LOVE STORY, thus an appropriate song that is, of course, a bit of double entendre.
