#1:Old school
Redhead Kingpin & The F.B.I. - All About Red
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qPoZxdjxcjE#t=2m

Why? He plays Red Reddington on the Blacklist and he's also down with the FBI.

Incubus "A Certain Shade of Green" (Acoustic Version)
http://youtu.be/d-yLZrNyj-g

Why:
How often do you get a green guest? Plus, the lounge-ish version I think is better suited for the band than the loud rock version.

James Spader
Diana Ross & Lionel Richie's "Dreaming Of You"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lLdjaFHXGB8
REASON: One of Spader's first roles was in ENDLESS LOVE. I believe I suggested this before, so I'll try again.


Kermit The Frog
Sesame Street's "Newsflash" intro
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xye5rDThe0M
REASON: As a kid, there were many things I looked forward to when watching SESAME STREET, and one of them was the cool keyboard/melody that was in Kermit's "Newsflash" intro/outro music.

Lena Dunham
Blueprint's "Big Girls Need Love Too"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-lepf-ark8
REASON: Dunham is "big", she's on GIRLS, and I think she can laugh at it and being called "boo", as the lyrics imply.



Hugh Dancy
Judas Priest's "Eat Me Alive"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SFCZDNwomRA
REASON: Double entendre here. The song is originally a love/ravaging song. In this case, it refers to the show HANNIBAL and Dancy's interaction with Hannibal Lecter. In turn, with all the criminals Agent Graham (Dancy) has to interact with, the mental anguish is thus "eating him alive".

The Cure "Why Can't I Be You?"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MI0a9hTh5AU&feature=kp

Why? From Wikipedia: Hugh Dancy as Special Agent Will Graham, a gifted criminal profiler and hunter of serial killers. He visualizes himself committing the murders he investigates to understand the killers' behaviors; throughout the series, Graham's involvement with the investigations takes a toll on his psyche.

Greg Kinnear
Rihanna's "Cockiness (Love It)"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mbJRVufEX00
REASON: Bangla Desh sampled Greg Kinnear's cover of "Summertime" for this song.


Emilia Clarke
CeCe Winans' "Throne Room"
http://youtu.be/NVpw08eppvs?t=3m6s
REASON: She's in GAME OF THRONES. I realize this is a spiritual/religious song but is used in a non-insulting way so I hope this can make it through. Use the lines:
"Welcome to the Throne Room
Welcome to the place where it all got started
Bow down (bow down)"


It makes a perfect contradiction: begin with a Rihanna song, then second guest gets a CeCe Winans song.

Nas - The World is Yours

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_srvHOu75vM

Reason: Emilia Clarke is on Game of Thrones and her character believes the throne belongs to her. Change the lyrics, instead of saying "The World is Yours" say "The Throne is Yours".


Whose Throne is this
The Throne is yours, the Throne is yours
It's mine, it's mine, it's mine; whose Throne is this
It's yours
It's mine, it's mine, it's mine; whose Throne is this
The Throne is yours, the Throne is yours

Posted by johnbook, Sun Mar-16-14 07:21 PM
my picks:

Kevin Bacon
Roger Daltrey's "Quicksilver Lightning"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ywoKIB3IxQ
REASON: In honor of the great film QUICKSILVER, where Bacon played a bike messenger. I saw this movie at the theater and still think it's great for what it is. No one ever refers to this song or any of Daltrey's solo work, plus it was co-written by


Jeff Musial
He'll get his usual song, right? I'll leave this as blank.


EXTRA:
For Ann Wilson, while I know she is just sitting in, you must somehow have her sing her first single from 45 years ago, a song called "Standin' Watchin' You", by Ann Wilson & The Daybreaks:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CyytEBiFwlY

This is very true to what Washington State represented circa 1969, very poppy, very close to what Anne Murray had done with "Snowbird".
http://www.discogs.com/viewimages?release=5242469

If you guys can end with "Even It Up", especially now that you have a horn section, that would be awesome.

Bacon is Good for Me Remix - The Internets
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PRGz9xSP_SA#t=35s

Why? “Bacon is good for me” (Also known as King Curtis) is a video remix meme that originates from a clip from Wifeswap USA, Season 5, Episode 18, starring the Brown and Holland families, originally airing on ABC on March 27th, 2009.
In the clip a boy known as Curtis is unhappy that his replacement-mum-for-the-week wants to get rid of his bacon. During the clip he uses quotes like ‘Bacon is good for me!’ and ‘She thinks shes the queen and were the sorry people’.
The original clip was uploaded on 25th August 2009 by Flylo123. In addition to reaching millions in their homes via ABC television broadcast, the video clip has over 1.7 million views. (http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/bacon-is-good-for-me)

this is my 3rd 11th hour change in like 25 episodes


we were set to do "Never" and mere seconds before the countdown the writer stopped the set and asked for us to do "something else" --like magic grows on friggin trees in my backyard.


so in 8 secs i yelled at Ann, sing "i can bring home the bacon...fry it up in a pan" and do a blues guys! "1..2...3. da da da da "i can bring home the bacon...."


---i was annoyed and impressed on how fast we did that


but we had all intentions to do Never.
