Ben Affleck Nirvana's "Been A Son" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UD7qOakvqp8 REASON: The song title can be considered a different way to say his name (i.e. "been a son", Bena Fleck). Plus, since he plays the new Batman, we know his parents were killed so he doesn't only become without parent-less, he is no longer a son. So... double usage.
Why? The least "spoiler-y" song. (I can post spoilers songs too if needed.)
-- Kate Walsh Since I haven't seen the pilot I don't know the song, but the rumor is that her character plays bongos in a group called "Lady Cock" on the show. See if you can get some screeners.

Why: His new film 'Whiplash' is about a young drummer's hellacious experience in school. I was gonna suggest Ultramagnetic MC's version, but you already did that for Will Ferrell and Chad Smith.

Why: Her new film is 'Alexander and the Terrible Horrible No Good Very Bad Day' (change the hook to "terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day" days. That is, if you don't want to go with the obvious Daniel Powter choice.
Jennifer Garner The Flaming Lips' "Bad Days" http://youtu.be/4YQh_7LYg-g?t=1m16s REASON: For her new film, it's also the anti-Daniel Powter movement (see above two choices), easy lyrics here "And all your bad days will end and all your bad days will end you have to sleep late when you can and all your bad days will end"
John Mulaney MURS' "Me And This Jawn" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DWYn8atAHvo REASON: Because he's John and in his new show, he uses his name as the character. While the song is about MURS and his lady, you can simply interpret it as saying "me and my man, John/Jawn".

Derek Jeter Joe Jackson's "Be My Number Two" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iMWYZUG66Fo REASON: While I have no interest in baseball, I figure people are honoring him because he's retiring, so I suggest a song about someone who wants to forever embrace what Jeter represents to them. It's a way to say "hey, you can be my number two". The song doesn't have any references to making poop.
James Marsden Justin Bieber's "That Should Be Me" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p5Jw-T4dVss REASON: For his new film, one of the main songs on the soundtrack is by Lady Antebellum (who are also on this week). Their song is called "I Did With You" so I wanted to choose a song that could be a response of sorts. I looked for the lyric "you did with me" and came up with this: "Do you do what you did, when you did with me does he love you the way I can? did you forget all the plans that you made with me? 'cause baby, I didn't"
On top of that, the song also featured Rascal Flatts, so country continuity is intact.

I think she's there promoting the PBS Live From the Lincoln Center performance of SWEENEY TODD. You could possibly even do this for Affleck as they do a performance of it in JERSEY GIRL, creating a walk on bookend to the week if you'd like.
Why: She's the narrator for the upcoming film 'Men, Women & Children' (this song features the phrase "women and children first" frequently, you can add the "men" on there).
Why? He's the voice of the main character in Disney's "Planes" series of films, which is a spin-off of "Cars" and probably has a train in it somewhere.
Emma Thompson Chuck Brown & The Soul Searchers's "We Need Some Money" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HssTYrncSTY REASON: I once suggested a song for Hugh Laurie that had to do with him starring in the 80's show, THE YOUNG ONES (still one of my all time favorite comedies). Laurie and Thompson appeared in the same BAMBI episode, and Thompson played Laurie's rich friend, Miss Money-Sterling. Thus, I choose a song that has to with her being about the "money", in reference to that character: http://youtu.be/z3HvchF49AM?t=2m18s
If you guys can sing it in the Money-Sterling accent, that would be extra cool (and dorky). If not, regular Chuck Brown style is great.
Dane Cook Nia Peeples' "Trouble" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4nq9WIYPiQ REASON: I've suggested this before to someone during LATE NIGHT, and I'll revive it again here. Cook has a new comedy special called TROUBLEMAKER, thus the song would be appropriate. Plus, I'm also representing my Filipino-ness with this song.
The song was written and produced by Steve Harvey, not the comedian but a Scottish guy. I had intended of suggesting this for comedian Steve Harvey, but I thought it would be extra meta and no one would get it, which is sometimes my point.
(in Love Actually, her philandering husband gives her the orchestral Joni Mitchell CD fro xmas and Both Sides Now plays whle she goes to the other room and composes her self a she realizes that he is cheating on her.)
