Jim Parsons Earth, Wind & Fire's "Shining Star" https://youtu.be/vwc0AW67CmA REASONS: Get it, reasons? Anyway, as I write this, it's the 40th anniversary of the THAT'S THE WAY OF THE WORLD album (thus emphasis on "Reasons") and since Parsons got a star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame and his Sheldon character on THE BIG BANG THEORY is all about space, I figured it would be the perfect song.
Miles Teller Metallica's "Whiplash" https://youtu.be/PJv8sY2CxZA REASON: FANTASTIC FOUR is not another five months in the distance, so I'll try this.
ALTERNATE CHOICE Chicago's "No Tell Lover" https://youtu.be/ris-lqXLIl4 REASON: Change the lyric to "No Teller Lover" in reference to his last name.
Jennifer Garner Donald D's "A Letter I'll Never Send" https://youtu.be/8DSBMLIg7Ng REASON: If her new movie is "based on a story about letter written to (but never sent) to folk artist Steve Tilson by John Lennon in 1971, which Tilson discovers in 2010", then I'll pick this song. You'll need a slightly new arrangement, as the sample is Led Zeppelin's "Ramble On".

Why? Her movie Danny Collin is based on a story about letter written to (but never sent) to folk artist Steve Tilson by John Lennon in 1971, which Tilson discovers in 2010.
This is the song the most "on the nose" that I call think of about unsent letters. (But it did not appear on REM's Dead Letter Office compilation.)
He's there for his new show Schitt's Creek. Though if you can't get away with that, maybe "Up On Cripple Creek" by the Band (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EisXJSsULGM) changed to maybe "Up on poopy creek" or something more tame would work lol

Will Ferrell De La Soul's "Fanatic Of The B-Word" https://youtu.be/BKpqyZCH0BI REASON: He did a baseball thing where he suited up and played different positions with different teams, I'm sure he'll talk about that so I figured I'd focus on that.

Ben Stiller Village People's "Y.M.C.A." https://youtu.be/CS9OO0S5w2k REASON: Since he's in WHILE WE'RE YOUNG, I immediately went to this song because of the first verse: "Young man, there's no need to feel down. I said, young man, pick yourself off the ground I said, young man, 'cause you're in a new town There's no need to be unhappy
Young man, there's a place you can go I said, young man, when you're short on your dough You can stay there, and I'm sure you will fin Many ways to have a good time"

#1: The one that you can't do, but would blow some nerds minds. Can He Sing, Jeremy Piven? - Scot Acerkman , Zach Galifianakis, Paul F Tompkins as Andrew llyod Webber http://www.earwolf.com/episode/can-he-sing-jeremy-piven/
Go into 1hour 8 minutes 29 second in. Very very silly. the writers would give you props.
Why? Ariana grande is on the "Honeymoon Tour" and this is the theme song to The Honeymoooners. It's slow, but maybe a hippity-hoppy arrangement could make it work. (Think a "Jive Bunny" remix.)
Why? The dumbest rhyme I could fine. (There's no song called Dwarf Banana) "Vox Humana" lyric starts around 3:35.
It's an awful song, and shouldn't be played. But the Ruth and June Pointer co-wrote it, Sheile E is on percussion, Kenny's clearly trying to do the Trevor Horn/Yes feel, and the video is just ridiculous.
Jeremy Piven Elvis Costello & The Attraction's "Peace Love & Understanding" https://youtu.be/8WWp67DsTk4?t=2m50s REASON: For his famous scene in singles where he works at Pay-N-Save and wants his friend to be a DJ and mix up Elvis Costello & Public Enemy. https://youtu.be/0PP5ENgXLiI?t=41s
Ariana Grande School Gyrls' "I'm Not Just A Girl" REASON: I don't know much (if any) of her songs but I don't like how the media is always making her out to be either a Mariah Carey wanna-be or just "a little girl" with a decent voice. I do understand when you are promoted to younger audiences, they will usually limit her to just being young so I was looking for a song which basically said "I'm not just a girl, I'm much more than that", to give her a bit of a boost to say "I'm much more than the little girl you think I am": "I'm not just a girl I'm much more than that I'm a leader and a fighter I'm not just a girl I'm bigger than that I'm stronger and I'm wiser
I'm not just a girl I'm no longer carrying it out The world will hear me out I'll strive and fight Until they discover I'm not just a girl"
ALTERNATE CHOICE: Ryan Higa's "Coffee Shop Love" https://youtu.be/5QzofwqELao?t=2m28s REASON: The song has her name in the lyric and it's a "coffee shop". Some people like to joke that her name sounds like a type of coffee, thus: I'm all ears when you need to venti I'm all the way, right there, Ariana Grande
And I never thought I'd ever wanna leave the cold Even though my heart's been frozen, time to let it go And let you know That you are the missing piece I needed to feel whole"
I would prefer to hear a song that gives her support as a person such as "I'm Not Just A Girl", but I understand accessibility so I'll offer these two.
Why? About *a year* EDIT:five years, ago on the "ThisIsMyNext" podcast he famously said "Using windows feels like poison" - which has brought a lot of ridicule and taunting.
And say "Josh Tops hates poisons. Windows is poison." (And then do a lot of "poison!" ad libs.)
BIG GEEK CRED. IT'll stick on Reddit for at least 6 hours.
(If he doesn't get to walk out and the segment starts at a table then play this into commercial.)
