Salma Hayek Pinault
LSG's "My Body"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AMroejldwt8
REASON: It's Salma. Plain and simple.


Andrew Lincoln
Faith No More's "Zombie Eaters"
REASON: Lincoln stars in THE WALKING DEAD, a show about zombies. I go to one of my favorite Faith No More songs, which has zombie in the title but has nothing to do with zombies, I'm using it for title/word association. Thus:

"Hey look at me lady
I'm just a little baby
You're lucky to have me
I'm cute and sweet as candy

As charming as a fable
I'm innocent and disabled
So hug me and kiss me
Then wipe my butt and piss me"


Peter Gabriel
Genesis' "The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pteh5hdZlg (go to the 2:07 mark)
REASON: Among some Gabriel fans, this remains the ultimate Genesis album. They made what is considered to be one of the best concept albums ever made, The Roots also made one. Thus I focus on this part of the song:
"And out on the subway,
Rael Imperial Aerosol Kid
Exits into daylight, spray gun hid,
And the lamb lies down on Broadway."

The main character of the BROADWAY album is about a kid who comes to New York and discovers the new and weird world of the underground world of the early 1970's. Rael is the "Aerosol Kid", the graffiti artist. The album is about Rael looking for for his brother. By the end of the album, it is explained (through metaphor) that Rael and John are one and the same person, and he basically spent the entire album looking for himself. The character of Rael is the 'riel in Gabriel, thus the use of the song shows Rael the Aerosol Kid stopping at 30 Rock, metaphorically heading back to Broadway (in spirit).

That's hip-hop right there.
