Jason Schwartzman Bill Conti's "Reflections" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sToWVlvaSNE REASON: The B-side to "Gonna Fly Now", the theme to ROCKY. Schwartzman's mom is actress Talia Shire, a/k/a "Adrianna". The song is meant to honor his mom, and since ROCKY was of course based in Philly, you guys. A bit of full circle "reflection". Plus, the song has a slight nod to Kool & The Gang's "Summer Madness", so consider this a hint of the summer to come.
SELFISH NOTE: Somewhere in my box of tapes, I have a freestyle I did over "Reflections" when I did a bit of pirate radio years ago.

Michael Fassbender Blue Scholars' "The Ave" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bSNzxgcSbj0 REASON: Fassbender is in PROMETHEUS, and this duo out of Seattle has a member in the group named Prometheus Brown. Thus, I focus on the first verse: "I be a patient man waiting for the rain to come down My feet touch the ground but my head's in the clouds I be Prometheus Brown stealing the fire out of heaven The setting is several city blocks off the 71 stop I walk about the district, distracted by The decadent madness of all the undergraduate addicts Club rats, heads, space cadets and pragmatics One of the few places that they coexist on the planet"
Just remove the "Brown", and maybe change it to "I be Prometheus, and he steals the fire out of heaven".
======== Sean Parker & Shawn Fanning Peter Gabriel's "Big Time" REASON: Parker & Fanning are probably going to be there to promote their website Airtime, so it would fit to say: "Big time, my belly's getting bigger Big time, and my bank account Big time, look at my circumstance Big time... And the bulge in my big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big"
===== Callie Thorne Jay-Z's "Change Clothes" REASON: She is the star of NECESSARY ROUGHNESS, thus...
"Callie Thorne in the house... it's so necessary No bra with the blouse... it's so necessary No panties and jeans... that's so necessary Now why you frontin on me... is that necessary?"
I was originally going to pick N.W.A's "Express Yourself" because it would meant that her technique would be "necessary", but I'll go with this.

"And i keep hearing... Ho ho ho, guess who's here Your fat and jolly friend draws near Ho ho ho, surprise, surprise The bearded weirdy's just arrived"
Just change the lyric to: "Ho ho ho, guess who's here Your slim and jolly friend draws near Ho ho ho, surprise surprise The long haired Julianne's just arrived"
or something along those lines.
Colin Hanks Wings' "Hi Hi Hi" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LzNo8-3awcM (perform the part of the song that begins at 2:32, to get James Poyser going) REASON: Colin Hanks stars in HIGH SCHOOL, which is about getting high, which has to do with this McCartney song. If you use "Ho Ho Ho" for Miss Hough, then use "Hi Hi Hi" for Hanks.

Chris Rock Andre Williams' "Rib Tips (Part 1 & 2)" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rgjDgZe_TQo REASON: For Rock's character who is always looking for an economical way to get some ribs.
Cat Deeley The Jets' "You Better Dance" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rWuGsxurpVU REASON: Deeley is the host of SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE. Since you have the first Jets album on cassette, I figure I would honor my Polynesian brethren by suggesting this song.

Ben Stiller Solomon Linda & The Evening's "Mbube" ("Uyimbube") http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mrrQT4WkbNE REASON: Stiller plays Alex The Lion in MADAGASCAR 3, and "Mbube" ("Uyimbube") is the source of "The Lion Sleeps Tonight".
I could just say "The Lion Sleeps Tonight", and initially my choice was Van Morrison's "Listen To The Listen", as I first heard it covered by Olomana as "The Lion", which incorporated elements of "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" but... I went an easier route. Hula Hula sleeps tonight for this choice.
Anthony Bourdain New York Dolls' "Jet Boy" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mftC-Mdj2BU REASON: Bourdain is a deep fan of punk from the mid to late 70's, and has often incorporated it in his shows. Since he tours the world for his shows, I figured it would be appropriate for him to be called "Jet Boy", as it features one of his favorite guitarists, the late Johnny Thunders. It's basically saying he is a traveler, and now that he's leaving Travel Channel, he will be traveling once more. I focus on the part that begins at 3:02:
"When I first came around this dump I knew I couldn't stay Cus up above the world are Jet Boy That's why I gotta play
(Dontcha know that) Jet Boys fly Jet Boys gone Jet Boy stole my baby Flyin' around New York City so high Like he was my baby"

For Ben Stiller, how about Jlo's "Jenny from the block" flip it of course to Benny from the block. "Don't be fooled from the rocks that I got, I'm still I'm still Benny from the block." Me and a few friends refer to him as Benny from the block when we see him. I think that shit is funny.
