Russell Westbrook (Celia) Yancey's "Honey Bee (Huh, Huh, Huh, Huh, Huh)" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mk2P0wjt_v0 REASON: For the "huh?" meme that has been created, due to his stunned face in the interview.

Jude Law Digital Underground's "Your Life's A Cartoon" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yX4F3pTw6NA REASON: His new film is a anime parody called NEO YAKIO, thus I chose the B-side to "Underwater Rimes".
Channing Tatum Ramsey Lewis' "Tequila Mockingbird" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vLV_X8xDNsY REASON: Tatum plays the character of Tequila in his new film, KINGSMAN: THE GOLDEN CIRCLE, so the obvious choice would be The Champs' "Tequila" but I went to funky, as the song was also written by Larry Dunn of EWF, which gives James or Kamal a chance to lay down some nice riffs and synthy strings as well.
Pedro Pascal Wu-Tang Clan's "Protect Ya Neck" https://youtu.be/R0IUR4gkPIE?t=2m33s REASON: He's in NARCOS, thus I focis on Ghostface's line "'cause who I are is dim in the light of Pablo Escobar". I know Pascal doesn't play Pablo but it's the reference that matters.

Julianne Moore Bonnie Raitt's "Nick Of Time" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dy8gHfGIS_A REASON: A recent interview had her talking about how she values aging in an industry where getting old is often frowned upon, thus I realized this would be the perfect song, as Raitt sings about seeing everyone around her and herself get old and that it's best to value the time we exist in. I know I could've chosen a joke-y song but I think this fits nicely.
Shawn Mendes "Electric Company" theme https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1kc5WZngss4 REASON: Mendes is the first guest on the brand new MTV UNPLUGGED, thus "he's gonna turn it off" (i.e. an acoustic performance, not an "electric" one.) Plus, that season of THE ELECTRIC COMPANY remains my favorite, not only due to the theme but what Rita Moreno wore. Granted, I was what, 6? So she must've been around 45, 46? Excellent. Bonus points if she can be there before Mendes walks out and yell "HEY YOU GUYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYS" in an equally sexy outfit.

Why? It's a song where he keeps getting postcards with chimpanzees on them. Another postcard with chimpanzees And every one is addressed to me. Another postcard with chimpanzees And every one is addressed to me.
Some chimps in swimsuits, Some chimps are swinging from a vine Some chimps in jackboots Some chimps that wish they could be mine. Starsky and Hutch chimps A chimp who's sitting on the can. A pair of Dutch chimps who send their love from Amsterdam. Some chimps in hard hats Chimps a-working on a chain gang Some chimps who love cats Burning rubber in a Mustang A birthday-wishing chimp, A chimp in black like a goth A goin' fishin' chimp A British chimp in the bath. Some chimps in swimsuits Some chimps in Jackboots Some chimps in hard hats Some chimps who love cats I've got some shaved chimps; that's chimps devoid of any hair I've got depraved chimps dressed up in the women's underwear.

Benedict Cumberbatch War's "Gypsy Man" https://youtu.be/AF3HukbmLlk?t=5m4s REASON: My favorite War song and perhaps the start of me enjoying a "long song", Cumberbatch will be in a film called GYPSY BOY.
Savannah Guthrie Funkadelic's "(Not Just) Knee Deep" https://youtu.be/av2vgiYAlXY?t=2m53s REASON: The last time she was on the show, you played my suggestion of Funkadelic's "Red Hot Momma". I want to continue suggesting anything related to George Clinton for her. In this case, I am suggesting this line in reference to her new book, if it's not considered too suggestive: "Something about the music, it got into my dance something about the music, it got into my pants"
I was going to suggest Bobby Byrd's "Hot Pants - I'm Coming, I'm Coming, I'm Coming" but when I thought of Big Daddy Kane's "Raw", which lead me to the P-Funk continuity I have with Miss Guthrie.
