Christina Aguilera
The Carpenters' "Sing"
REASON: Had originally come up with Cheap Trick's "Voices" or Hall & Oates' "You Make My Dreams" (because it comes from their VOICES album) but I went simple. I'm a sucker for this song (childhood memories) and the idea of someone not worrying if it's not good enough for anyone else to hear... see, that's the emotional lyric right there. I'm 3 all over again.


Naomie Harris
Lene Lovich's "New Toy"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jztgaereXyI
Instead of saying "new Toy", say "New Eve", since Harris plays the new Eve in the new Bond movie. Thus the chorus:

"I want a new toy, to keep my head expanding.
I want a new toy, nothing too demanding.
Then when everything is in roses, everything is static
Yeah my new toy, you'll find us in the attic"

Or the part at the end with the funky drums at 2:34, where the lyrics are just:
"new toy, oh weh oh"

I suggested this for someone people, so I'll try it again. One of my favorite Thomas Dolby moments.
