Hugh Jackman
The Dickies' "It's Huge"
https://youtu.be/1IZi-b_z-5k
REASON: The chorus is simple, because the title sounds like "Hugh", thus:
"it's huge
my love for you is huge
my love for you is huge"





Nick Offerman
Evelyn 'Champagne' King's "Shame"
https://youtu.be/OMbty5vEBGU
REASON: He recently shaved, although by the time he hits the show, he may have grown his mustache and beard back but I'll take a chance, so you guys can change the lyric to "shaved".

Hugh Jackman

Can "Bring Me Coffee or Tea"
https://youtu.be/Ac2KkpF1n3Q

Why: His new film is 'Dukale's Dream,' a documentary that examines the life of an Ethiopian coffee farmer.

Nick Offerman

Weird Al "Gump"
https://youtu.be/hQwWaWFjd0Y

Why: Offerman's new book is called 'Gumption.'

Hugh Jackman
The Batman Theme Song
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VSaDPc1Cs5U

Why? Jackman, jackman, JACKMAN, jackMAN!

Nick Offerman
#0: Mr Loverman- Shabba Ranks
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tcWif3u4A0A

Why? Mr. Offerman -Swanson! (Okay, I've suggested it at least 5 times, so I'll try another.)

#1:Nickelodeon Do-Wap jingle(s)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYAIX96v1mI

Why? I've suggested this in the past too, Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Offerman!

(Now that the website has been updated)
The full title of his books is:
Gumption: Relighting the Torch of Freedom with America's Gutsiest Troublemakers

So either:
Dan Hartman " Relight my fire "
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1i--HyjCsX8#t=50s

Why? Lyrics could be seen as to compliment the title of the book. (I didn't realize that Dan Hartman died in 1994.)

Hugh Jackman - "P-A-N" by 2 Live Crew
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-asv3ObTVDg

He's in PAN as Blackbeard. You could change "pussy ass n____" to "Hugh Jackman."

Nick Offerman - "Pusherman" by Curtis Mayfield
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hCDAfa-NI-M

"'Cause I'm Nick Offerman..."

Hugh Jackman:
"Sowing The Seeds Of Love" - Tears For Fears

(his new doc is called Seeds of Hope)

Nick Offerman:
"God Bless The U.S.A." - Lee Greenwood
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q65KZIqay4E

(new book is Gumption: Relighting the Torch of Freedom with America's Gutsiest Troublemakers)

Hugh Jackman
Jackman Fever - Buckner and Garcia (I've suggested this in the past --but not this time.)


Nick Offerman
Offerman Fever - Buckner and Garcia

mg: Jamie Foxx

Jamie Foxx
Beck's "Hollywood Freaks"
https://youtu.be/fYtF30ipZZ0
REASON: His new album is called HOLLYWOOD and while "Hollywood Swingin'" may be more apt, I rarely ever go "apt" so it's a chance for the horn section to rap this, I'll go for it.



Carla Gugino
The Allies' "Emma Peel"
https://youtu.be/iXvewKrgvUs
REASON: Cugino stars in SAN ANDREAS as "Emma", thus name recognition. Long before Nirvana became the "it" band for Seattle, a lot of people up here loved bands like The Allies, especially a song that was a huge hit in 1983 and 1984.

The fault in question will affect many of us up here in the Pacific Northwest, since the fault is also connected with the Cascadia subduction zone. In other words, if there is a "big one", the entire west coast may feel it so... if it's a way to make some Seattle connection to my suggestion, then there we go.

Jamie Foxx

Jamie Foxx "Wedding Song"
https://youtu.be/i399IqpCEFs

Why: Fun little call-back to a moment from his TV show (I've been seeing in some interviews lately he's kind of been looking back at his career and how he transitioned from actor to musician).

Carla Gugino

Leadbelly "Where Did You Sleep Last Night"
https://youtu.be/PsfcUZBMSSg

Why: She's starring in the series 'Wayward Pines' (change the lyrics to say that).

Jamie Foxx
#1:The Star Spangled Banner
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ACn3u5UnBw
Why? Not sure if it'll still be relevant in two weeks.

#2: Ylvis - The Fox
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jofNR_WkoCE

Why?Even less relevant in two weeks.

Carla Gugino
Karen Sisco Theme (It's your thing by The Isleys)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2141yvAwPo

Why? Underrated TV show.

Why? I like it

Carla Gugino
Kansas - Carry On Wayward Son
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2X_2IdybTV0

Why? Website says she's on "Wayward Pines." Same word.

alexander o'neal: fake(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LIs4a1Sjucg)
reason: anecdotal salute to his album title

ELO: evil woman (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ei5u7G8oMlg)
reason: she has a presence about her, welcoming and mysterial, that could cause a 'wayward pining' in a relationship
====================================

Jamie Foxx - "Fox on the Run" by Sweet
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2k1-kh6HbHQ

Name.

Carla Gugino - "Carry On My Wayward Son" by Kansas
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2X_2IdybTV0

She's there for double duty promoting I'd assume, SAN ANDREAS and WAYWARD PINES. It might be overkill on the lyric change but "San Andreas Wayward Pines" oddly fits syllablic-ly.

Jamie Foxx:
"Hollywood" - RUfus & Chaka Kahn
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IUkwOPmoEWA



Carla Gugino:
"Housequake" - Prince
(since she's in San Andreas, the big ol earthquake movie)

Jamie Foxx:

Tony Orlando and Dawn - Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round the Ole Oak Tree

- "Held Up" (2000) reference

Earth, Wind & Fire - Reasons (with harmonica)

- Same as above

Carla Gugino:

Traditional - Up In A Balloon (Boys)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yK8g8a2xewU (From 4:31)
- Here, she performs it with her castmates from 'The Buccaneers' (1995)
- Her character in "San Andreas" could probably use one

David Duchony
Sweet's "Funk It Up (David's Song)"
https://youtu.be/zXCLa7vBYi0
REASON: His name is David, thus it would be his song.



Jeff Foxworthy
Latimore's "There's A Red-Neck In The Soul Band"
https://youtu.be/pWL5GHfCQ_c
REASON: Perfect for Foxworthy, since he is a self-admitted redneck.

ALTERNATE CHOICE:
Jackson Browne's "Redneck Friend"
https://youtu.be/sgGcjnKPoyE
REASON: Because he is.

The Undertones - Smarter Than U

Why? Says he there for "Are you smarter than I fifth grader."

David Duchovny - "Rocket Man" by Elton John
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1GAKOLOnfV4

Song had a big part in CALIFORNICATION. It played in season three when Karen found out about his tryst with Mia (which turns out was one of his favorite episodes: http://www.tvguide.com/news/david-duchovny-californication-favorite-episodes-1083641/) and then played again in the series finale.

Jeff Foxworthy - "I Might Be a Redneck" by Bottleneck ft Jawga Boys

Jesus, I don't know... lol

This show should be interesting. I mean, how do you counter program against Dave's last show.

David Duchovny:
"Look At Your Game, Girl" - Charles Manson
Manson version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mpx4ODP35VQ

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson
Digital Underground's "The Humpty Dance"
https://youtu.be/cj9_yW8tZxs
REASON: For one of the best lyrics of 1990:
"Samoans, do the Humpty Hump, do the Humpty Hump"

Polynesians went absolutely nuts for that one.




Meghan Trainor
D'Angelo's "Untitled"
http://www.vevo.com/watch/dangelo/Untitled-%28How-Does-It-Feel%29/USVI30500120

ALTERNATE CHOICE
Whodini's "Funky Beat"

REASON: Reference to TITLE:
"So to all you emcees, that's lookin for a idol

GTA San Andreas Theme Song
https://youtu.be/W4VTq0sa9yg

Why: His new film is 'San Andreas.'

Meghan Trainor

Public Enemy "Bring the Noise"
https://youtu.be/XrtHrW9n_cw

Why: She's the "all about that bass" girl, so why not bring her out to "BASS! How low can you go?"

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson
Graham Central Station "Earthquake"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJ-ECqhSG-Q

Why? It's a great song - and The Rock's new film is about an earthquake.

I'd still like to hear Graham Central Station "Earthquake" but you played that for CG.

Rock:
The Temptations - Shakey Ground

Why? Funkier than Al Wilson.

Megan Trainer
Chris Brown - Bassline

Why? I thought the Beats International song was "too 90's."

The Rock - "Rock Me Like a Hurricane" by Scorpions
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6yP1tcy9a10

Change to "Rock me like an earthquake." Works two levels. Changing the natural disaster to fit SAN ANDREAS and also on his name.

Meghan Trainor - "C'Mon 'N Ride It (The Train)" by Quad City DJs

Sting
Ohio Players' "Honey"
https://youtu.be/Uo10yzdxbh4
REASON: Okay, if I am able to win another week for suggestions, I hope to suggest the Ohio Players for one week, so I want to start things early. The reference "Honey" is of course because Sting's name refers to a bee, how he used to dress in the early days of The Police. Extra points if you recreate the gesture from the inside of the HONEY cover. Not of Ester Cordet but...




Kevin Connolly
Ohio Player's "Ecstasy"
https://youtu.be/JPxg3G1pxQs
REASON: He plays Eric in ENTOURAGE, his nickname is "E", and "E" is the late 80's/early 90's for ecstasy. So while "Honey" represents the Mercury era, I figured I better suggest one from the Westbound era, partly because suggesting anything from the Arista or Boardwalk eras is pointless. Which of course means you might say "hey, why not I use "Take De Funk Off, Fly"? Anyway, "Ecstasy" it is from me.

It's on the website.

Sting - "Out From the Shadows" by Jim Johnson
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=My6ZW8W6fSo

Kinda sucks as an song to play, but it's his WWE entrance song, as you usually play those. If you're not married to playing that, but still wanna hit him with a (WWE owned) entrance song.... hit em with "Man Called Sting" (https://youtu.be/O9hw-NDnft8), which actually has lyrics.

Some other old Sting entrance options.

Since my Earthquake by Graham Central suggestion was played for Carla instead of The Rock.

I am not the final arbiter of this, so we'll await ?uest's ruling.

In the meantime I'd like to here:
Devo

If I have any say in the matter I'd say this: Skip the hits and play the b-sides and early material.

Stuff like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03_YG8HpFT4 is better than Devo.

Here's a few YouTube playlists with good songs,. but I'll take what I can get:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJcshY5ywro&list=PLpq2Wyuy-bySoFENzKjdf4Sppq8D2m0Pm

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Hlh85EgEp4&list=PLE485A98D94D73DD2

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1YRaqrywTyE&list=PL2VMVqzUlfGC3c-3h0q6G3mhPrFIr7TD6

how do we handle deaths?

we two weeks behind because of BB King and Louis Johnson


do we still honor the winner? or death overrides the winner?

i'll let y'all discuss.

who won the week after "The Monkees"?

i got Saddiq on lock but i wanna know do i do

previous week
then Saddiq
then Devo?

cause once 50 die in 5 years time the winner will be waiting months for me to catchup
y'all decide the rules

Not to make it too convoluted, but maybe cap the wait-list at three? In other words, if you have the next 3 artists lined up and then someone dies, the oldest one in the cue gets dropped? I mean, it's only like ten of us actively playing the game so if someone gets really upset that their winning pick got dropped, they can always resubmit it next time they win?

I just feel like an iconic musician's death trumps all.

It's respectful and timely. As for how to handle the winner selections, how about just calling that week a wash and moving on instead of stock piling? Just staying up to date. Because if you are already getting lost on what all was suggested for it with the backlog you got now, why make it harder on yourself to stack more one that? I mean, they're suggestions. In the end, don't make more work for yourself where it's not needed, y'know?

Though if you are backlogging, I had the Clash in there one week somewhere lol

Do we have a list of who was done already and when? Is that on the site, Tom?

ps - I post in a few Monkees groups on FB and when you guys did them, I got all of these messages from my fellow nerds like, "Dude... do you know why the Roots are playing the Monkees this week on Fallon!?" Cracked me up.

I see the music for a single show generally (excluding free-styling/intro music to bits/miscellaneous grab-ass-ery) like this:

Intro/show number (area code patrol)
Desk Walk
Into commercial 1
Out of commercial 1
Into commercial 2
Out of commercial 2
Into commercial 3
Out of commercial 3
Into commercial 4
Out of commercial 4
Outro

Desk walk has had several different functions.
1)Themed weekly artist (ie, what we're talking about here.)
2)Sit-in guests feature (Jimmy says "That was of course the incredible Darrel Abbot and Darrel has a new album out titled "Screw Vincent.")
3)Death tribute musics (B.B.King)
4)Topical and/or random (The "Hollywood" themed songs for L.A. week.)

For sit-ins we occasionally get music in/out of commercials that is related to them. Steven Tyler singing Aerosmith songs, etc.

So there is a possibility of having themed music (or music with associated publishing costs) played at times other than desk music.

For the "Death music" could it be more effective to load them up into a single day and play them for desk walk AND in/out of commercials? That way the twitter verse/social media has a concentrated event to talk about.

Or logistically do all members of The Roots get a list of songs to learn for the following week, and that's why moving to a week of desk walk music was chosen? (I'll bet it's getting asymptotically harder to create new sandwiches.)

In any event honoring the dead trumps making Tom or Sean or Jon or Nate or Augusto or Randy and/or The Rest giggle :)

rates do vary


the cheapest rate is guest walk out music that you guys suggest for.

actually no, the cheapest is "mid show spurts"

so if jimmy were to talk about how "eye of the tiger" scared him as a 10 year old and he goes into song. as long as the song is under 30 seconds, we have a cheap flat rate.



suggestion songs for guest are 2nd cheapest.


"walk over" songs are 3rd cheapest (the song after jimmys monologue and he says "ladies and gents THE ROOTS!"


-the best payoff songs are when musical guests perform their song in full and songs that go into and out of commercials.

totally different rates.

i have no clue why but it just is.

and therefore a cat like Prince is now cool with some of his music being used for guests, but wants WAAAAAY more if we go into "i wanna be your lover" going to commercial.

so thus NBC is like "only do prince for guest walk ons. NOT fir commercials.

so to answer your questions, these suggestions can ONLY be for "jimmy desk walk music"

Here's my best guess at who won, what was played, and what is
still outstanding.

I'm unclear sometimes what is being played because of deaths,
guests, or special occasions. Sometimes I jsut don't know what
was played.)

Please give me corrections here and I'll update the
spreadsheet:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1TBoHvByDv_exGg3qYJsXJQ60VS5C0DQ7L7NPUFt2Wfs/edit?usp=sharing

I think we have 3 queued up now:
The Clash - Captnish (from season 2 week 10)
Raphael Saadiq - Seandammit (from season2 week 11)
Devo- Tom Hayes (from season2 week 12)

im just afraid when we will be 17 weeks backed up.

imma still honor the winner.
