Joseph Gordon Levitt Chilliwack's "My Girl" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yahBtp_1jWE REASON: I had suggested this for someone else last week, I'll try it here. Levitt is in DON JON, and think using the vocal hook that opens the song would work.

From the rock movie that he did with Joan Jett. I wanted to suggest this first, but I know Bruce wrote the song, so I dunno if that counts as a no-no list member.
But you should just retire Mostly Tha Voice by Gangstarr
P.S>.This live performance sounds WAY more new wave: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCO-dzitHIE - that synth is so Gary Numan, and those guitars sound like the opening band on the Alarm's 1984 tour.

If it's Joshua Topolosky on Wednesday then I again suggest: Poisson by BBD, but with the lyrics "Windows is Poison. Josh Tops hates poison. "
Why? He famously said "Using Windows feels like Poison" on the "This is my next" podcast in 2011. You'll almost certainly be invited to On The Verge if you play this.
Her song from the CONFESSIONS OF A TEENAGE DRAMA QUEEN soundtrack. Lyrics are rather retrospective and play into her whole getting straight and trying to start a new life:
"That girl was a one time teenage drama queen A hot, tough everyday wannabee But she'll have changed her destiny Now she's a somebody That girl was a wild child dreamer but she'll find herself 'Cause she believes in nothin' else And you'll look back and you won't believe That girl was me"

Lindsay Lohan's "Rumors" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ODTRrT-ONxA (emphasis at 0:58) REASON: It's her own song touching on her life in the last 9 years, but 9 years ago. I focus on the chorus: "I'm tired of rumors starting, I'm sick of being followed I'm tired of people lying, saying what they want about me Why can't they back up off me? Why can't they let me live? I'm gonna do it my way, take this for just what it is"
Beyond the fame and popularity, I'd like to think there is a true person behind it who is trying to remain herself, remain sane. I chose it for that.

Julianna Margulies Bryan Adams' "Cuts Like A Knife" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQRB5h0YKKI REASON: She stars in THE GOOD LIFE, and one can say she cuts like a wife, because... well, it feels so right.
not sure about royalties from a Lomax field recording - might be cheap too!
Michael Sheen - the Hooters 'And We Danced' - his first stage role was in 'When She Danced.' Easy lyric change. Plus... it's the Hooters! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zB1Q-PfUvN0

Play "The 900 Number", or more specifically, Marva Whitney' "Unwind Yourself" pitched down a bit. Or blend it so that it starts in the original key of "Unwind Yourself" in four bars, then go down to "The 900 Number" pitch for the second half.
