Robert Deniro

Kenny G "Tribeca"
https://youtu.be/2jpXACynycw

Why: He's likely on the show promoting his Tribeca Film Festival, which kicks off April 18.

Bridget Everett

The Persuasions "Gypsy Woman"
https://youtu.be/HYDdsADoNao

Why: I believe she's on the show to plug 'Camping,' and Wu-Tang's sample of this song on their track "Campfire" brought me here ("Out of nowhere, there came a caravan/This was around a campfire light/A lovely woman in motion/Her hair was as dark, as the night")

Robert Deniro
Bananarama's "Robert DeNiro's Waiting (Talking Italian)"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H87yGvoCNHU
REASON: He is DeNiro.



Bridget Everett
John Denver's "Going Camping"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7uC3NYUCH0
REASON: She's in CAMPING

Rupert's Theme - Bob James
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L45boyLSttQ
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCWNs3MnVH8 <=As heard in the film

Why? Rupert's song from The King of Comedy. (And while not as relevant as when he came on for The Comedian - still good.)

Bridget Everett
The Spiral Starecase - (Love you) More Today Than Yesterday
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HRNPppaIW6I

Why? Her pilot for Amazon show is “Love You More” - maybe she's promoting that? If not I'm sure she'll appreciate the shout out for it.


#2: Far out pick - but she could kill with it:
Bounce Your Boobies (A Patriotic Song) - Rusty Warren
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uOMQzNXb0zo

Why? I'm 100% certain she'd love to be played out by a Rusty Warren song.

Joel McHale

Common "Inhale"
https://youtu.be/nCeuzpaiZ7c

Why: Change the vocal hook/sample to "McHale" (or just play the Tribe song that this song likely takes its inspiration from).

Michael Che

Beastie Boys "The Update"
https://youtu.be/krZ7wFOR8ng

Why: Kind of a chaotic track but there's a good 4-bar loop in here that probably goes. Obviously, he is co-host of SNL's 'Weekend Update.'

Joel McHale
Mudhoney's "Touch Me I'm Sick"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_nGsT_qFMBs
REASON: As I've said in previous appearances from McHale, many of us in the Pacific Northwest remember McHale when he was in ALMOST LIVE, Seattle's version of SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE. The show introduced us to Bill Nye long before he became the science guy, thus I offer a song by the Seattle grunge band that should've made it further than Nirvana, Soundgarden, Alice In Chains and everyone else. You can either do the first verse:
"I've been bad
I've been worse
I'm a creep, yeah
and I'm a jerk
touch me I'm sick"

Or the chorus:
"Come on baby, now, come with me
If you don't come
If you don't come
If you don't come
You'll die alone"

It represents the sarcasm of Seattle very well, or "old Seattle", just as things represent "old Portland".

Michael Che
The Young Fresh Fellows' "Young Fresh Fellows Update (Theme)"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_sOrTGl0OHE
REASON: The Young Fresh Fellows were the Seattle band in the 1980's many were hoping would become the next big thing for the city but back then, no one paid attention to Seattle. Nonetheless, they made tons of records and this was one of them.


Thus, this show would be represented by the 206. I know Che has no connection with Seattle but I want to make the connection since McHale is from up the I-90.

Joel Mchale
#1: The Joel McHale Show End Credits Song (Multiple lyrics, but the tune stays the same.)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tWk8Qr5RuGk

Why? The end credits. You could make your own lyrics up.

#2: Josh Tractor Theme song (from India)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BSN1M0Xin1M

Why?He played it on his Netflix show. Catchy.

Michael Che
Dear Michael - Kim Fields
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5hKFinBytE

Why? If Facts of Life took place now I'm sure Tootie would sing this song about Michael Che instead of Michael Jackson.

Claire Danes
The Center For Disease Control Boys' "We're The Center For Disease Control Boys"
https://youtu.be/iY4iEEWb7c8?t=3m12s
REASON: She is in A KID LIKE JAKE and this is the song I thought of. The Center For Disease Control Boys were a Seattle country group and they released one record as part of the Reagan era. It is of note because Chris Cornell of Soundgarden was a special guest in the song, performing as "Jake", thus it would be his verse you'd be singing:

"Well, my names Jake (HOWDY, JAKE!)
I go to work, for crissakes
but while I'm workin, I hope Jesus ain't watchin'
'Cause I take monkeys from the zoo
They look a lot like me and you
and then I shoot 'em full of lethal toxins"

Also, the guy who is at 1:53 is the late Ben McMillan, singer for Skin Yard and Gruntruck. Skin Yard should have been the next "it" band of Seattle, partly because Jack Endino was also their guitarist and while they were popular in the underground, they never made it big. Daniel House of C/Z Records was a member of Skin Yard and C/Z was Chris Hanszek's label before giving it to House. At this point, discussion about Skin Yard becomes incestuous so I'll stop.





Letitia Wright
Reba McEntire's "My Sister"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9ljFRnTzpA
REASON: Wright is the sister of T'Challa but is here to represent her own. I realize suggesting a Reba song may be like "wait: Reba?" but I figure sisterly love is sisterly love, and Reba is hot. YEAH, I SAID IT!!! Thus, why not? Lyrics are lyrics, doesn't matter what the assigned genre is.

the Cast Of Mean Girls

Tina Fey
Julie Brown's "Girl Fight Tonight"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVie2K-mMtc
REASON: Julie Brown was *the* Julie Brown in the mid-80's for MTV before British "doodle doodle dee, wubba wubba wubba" Julie Brown took over and the network now had two Julie Brown's. Anyway, Julie Brown made her share of records, all on the humorous side. This is from her TRAPPED IN THE BODY OF A WHITE GIRL album.




Evan Rachel Wood
Boney M's "Going Back West"
https://youtu.be/1o-IlkdTph0?t=1m11s
REASON: We did Village People's "Go West" before, right? (Looking back: yes: September 30, 2016 for James Marsden.) Anyway, I chose something else and decided to go towards the Boney M path.

Evan Rachel Wood
Pet Shop Boys - West End Girls
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p3j2NYZ8FKs

Why? West West girl?



Totally unrelated but...
Note: An old friend started a band where they did a terrible version of this:
Prayers - West End Girls : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OeNtIcKJ-A0

BUT.. the Pet Shop Boys must have liked it because they had them all do the video for their song PSB Twenty Something: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0KCVmOQ1q6Y

Just thought that was crazy and needed to share.

Tina Fey

Jesse Boykins III "Mean Girls (feat. J*Davey)"
https://youtu.be/gmXk4lz5A_0

Why: 'Mean Girls' reference.

Evan Rachel Wood

Mr. Bungle "None of Them Knew They Were Robots"
https://youtu.be/CJBleJJZixs

Why: I'm throwing a weird one in here, but there's a lot of material to draw from this expectedly wildly all over the place track. The reference being, of course, that none of the characters in 'Westworld' knew they were robots.

REASON: Many roles known for but KARATE KID la la la. I realize he's 56 and he is far from a kid but many will known him forever as "the other kid" (Prince, of course, being "The Kid", nudge nudge.)
