mg: Death Cab For Cutie

Charlize Theron
We Don't Need Another Hero (Thunderdome) - Tina Turner
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gcm-tOGiva0

Why? She's in the new Mad Max movie.

---
Tom Brokaw
Fishbone - Another Generation
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ehfuh3ej18E

Why? He wrote a very successful book in the 1990s's called The Greatest Generation, and he's on now plugging a new book which he hopes will be another "Generation."

Referencing that eerie love scene in Monster

https://youtu.be/GpGEeneO-t0

Charlize Theron
Kandi Burruss' "What I'm Gon Do To You"
https://youtu.be/XGCruUFfJ_U
REASON: She plays Imperator Furiosa in the new MAD MAX film, thus since I like Kandi, I went for this. aiming in the fourth line:
"Revenge is a must when my heart you crush
You know I'm goin' burn yo' house to dust
'cause a girl really gets so serious
**when you really make a girl so furious**
It's such a shame, what I'm gonna do to you"




Tom Brokaw
First off, with the 30th anniversary of Fishbone's debut EP in September, Fallon should somehow bring them on and if at all possible, the original guys. If not, then I will definitely make an early request for "Voyage To The Land Of The Freeze Dried Godzilla Farts". I only say this because handle's "Another Generation" suggestion is perfect. Anyway. my pick:
=========
Joboxers' "Just Got Lucky"
https://youtu.be/22UiyygG9QY
REASON: Brokaw's new book is called A LUCKY LIFE INTERRUPTED, so while the title suggests that Brokaw considers himself a lucky man, I didn't want to be typical and suggest Tom Petty's "You Got Lucky" so I went for a song I remember from the early days of MTV, as I do from time to time. The group were British but the singer was the only American and arguably is one of the reasons why the group had some sense of soul (figuratively and literally), thus why I like this song a lot. They were somewhat a cross between Madness, English Beat, and Dexy's Midnight Runners.

Her ride in FURY ROAD is the War Rig.

mg: Nate Ruess & The Roots

Anna Kendrick
Elizabeth Banks
Chill Rob G- Wild Pitch
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zXi74S_qgvY#t=1m50s

Why? She's in Perfect Pitch 2

#2: Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo by Ollie & Jerry
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeJVrfUof_c

Why? Any time a sequel ends with 2, I want the next two words to be "Electric Boogalo."

--
Terry Crews

Two from Idiocracy:

#1: "Toda Mi Vida" - Pueblo Cafe
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQwZs-Qmk_E

Why? Song used for the motorcycle ride in Idiocracy.


#2: Hail to the chief/ House of representin" by Theodore Shapiro
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=janc4nkNknU

Why? Camacho's entrance music.

Anna Kendrick
The Grouch's "Paint A Perfect Picture"
https://youtu.be/DaGajnf5W70
REASON: She is in PITCH PERFECT 2, thus I focus on the chorus:
"I wanna paint the perfect picture
I wanna paint the perfect picture
I wanna paint the perfect picture
Paint the perfect picture"

The Grouch is a respected MC out of Seattle and no, I've never met him but I always liked the song so it's a way to show some Pacific Northwest love as well.




Terry Crews
Fleetwood Mac's "Over My Head"
https://youtu.be/c_fdX9-MmPI
REASON: For his bald head.
"You can take me to paradise, and then again you can be cold as ice
I'm over my head, but it sure feels nice."

Smashing Pumpkins "Perfect"
https://youtu.be/VKYY8DxVZHE

Why: She's in 'Pitch Perfect 2.'

Terry Crews

D'Angelo "Cruisin'"
https://youtu.be/_uxeft-dnQs

Why: Nameplay.

Anna Kendrick - "2 Cups" by Lil Debbie ft. Dollabillgates
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ck86X4z7b4

"Cups" was her big song from the first PITCH PERFECT. Since she's there promoting the sequel.... "2 Cups."

Terry Crews - "Terry" by Action Bronson

Anna Kendrick :
"Acapella" - Karmin
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJWJfRAGnHc

mg: Faith No More

Rebel Wilson
Public Enemy-Rebel Without A Pause
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q0b0jIaCEHU

Why? Her name is rebel.

--
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley
Pharrell - Number One ft. Kanye West
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mCAYStI0_EY
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Toz2PJtCueQ

Why? She's in the video (according to Wikipedia I didn't see her, but then again all these jawns look the same to me.)

Rebel Wilson
Mr. Bungle's "My Ass Is On Fire"
https://youtu.be/18wHoMOBPh4?t=1m42s
REASON: Since Faith No More is on, and since handle and I have often requested Mr. Bungle songs every now and then, I think it would be perfect. Wilson is known to dance and not hesitate how she likes to groove so it would be a way for her to hopefully dance and honor the legend of Vlad Drac (Mike Patton's Mr. Bungle persona).

For something more sane:
Stop The Violence Movement's "Self Destruction"
https://youtu.be/jxyYP_bS_6s?t=3m17s
REASON: "I'm Ms. Melodie and I'm a born again rebel"



Rosie Huntington-Whiteley
Infant Sorrow's "Furry Walls"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1X2bf76wn54
REASON: She's in Mad Max: Fury Road, so...
"Furry walls, don't bring me down
Furry walls, please stay around
Furry walls
Furry walls"

Bill O'Reilly
Heavy D & The Boyz' "We Got Our Own Thang"
https://youtu.be/Bt2Ci3nHDM4?t=1m49s
REASON: O'Reilly's new book is called LEGENDS & LIES and while I could've chosen Fleetwood Mac's "Tell Me Lies", I didn't want you guys to face another wrath so I go for this song, but change the lyric slightly for Tariq to say:
"Bill is a LEGEND, The Roots are legendary at it
Living on the mic makes me a rapping acrobat
Don't try to swing, because you couldn't even hang
We've got our own thang"


Snoop Dogg
Musique's "In The Bush"
https://youtu.be/1PmX1xcCjfM
REASON: His new album is called BUSH.

Obvious reasons. Maybe not the most creative rationale, but hits the spot and would be fun to throwback to

But really,

If y'all haven't done the knee deep or what's my name beat yet, y'all should really be doing that:

Who Am I
https://youtu.be/xyZZuvsdMOs

Knee Deep
https://youtu.be/bN1xFZ2vfwY

normally i dont pander to the obvious stuff with guests.

i pander to the project that they are promoting ("Bush")

or if its someone with a silly career reference i might throw it in there (think like michael j fox getting "johnny b good" for a back to the future reference)

if the project they are pushing doesn't yield a clever song i just might play on their name (i'd do "Linus and Lucy" from Peanuts for the Snoop reference)

only if none of those work out will i reference someone's actual work (if its an actor that was once on a sitcom like Clooney i might do "the facts of life" as a reminder he did this 30 years ago) or jack black's student film project from last week

---just wanted to share with you (and other newbies) the effective way for me to pick the winners


of course i go for the silly angle too.

>if the project they are pushing doesn't yield a clever song i
>just might play on their name (i'd do "Linus and Lucy" from
>Peanuts for the Snoop reference)

Bill O'Reilly

KRS-One + Buckshot feat. Talib Kweli "Oh Really"
https://youtu.be/1JmmavDNuLo

Why: Change it to "O'Reilly."

Snoop Dogg

Red Hot Chili Peppers "Stone Cold Bush"
https://youtu.be/3bmintQLfv0

Why: Snoop's a RHCP fan, and you can change the hook to say "Snoop's Stoned Cold Bush." (he's probably going to be stoned on the show and his new album is called 'Bush.')

Bill O'Reilly

#1: O'Reilly Auto Parts Jingle
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JkSDGk67IWI

Why? Neither bestows nor withholds respect.

#2:Dead Or Alive - You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGNiXGX2nLU

Why? He has a segment entitled "The No-Spin Zone" where he wildly spins shit. It's as dishonest as Unleashed with Byron Allen. <-ZING!!

---
Snoop Dogg

#2: Something from
213 - Demo Tape
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3mrrGpVDyA

Remember Loc's down and dogs up.

-or-
It Ain't No Fun (OG Cassette Tape Demo: 1992)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c5IOllkCdao

In the tradition of you playing early songs for hip hop guests.


And for the love of FUCK, get a line producer to have Snoop and Bill in a game segment!

Bill O'Reilly - "Billy Don't Be a Hero" by Paper Lace
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6cdFuMgMkBM

Name.

Snoop Dogg - "Snoopy Come Home" from SNOOPY COME HOME (words start about :19 secs in)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=twLu0AuP92Y

Just a play on the name.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2cQSPRTdhg

Flipping the chorus into "No. Spin. Zone...WE KNOWWWW BETTER!" would be hilarious IMO.

Bill O'Reilly:
"Wild Wild West" - Kool Moe Dee
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_AMPcFym0Q

(since his new book is all about the truth about life in the wild west.)


Snoop Dogg:
"Smoke Two Joints" - The Toyes
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZfduFy26EE0

(famosly covered by sublime: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h0i62GnQoo0)

Bill O'reilly
Rae Sremmurd - No Flex Zone
Suggested by: connectpoliticditto


Snoop Dogg
De La Soul – Stickabush

play: Something Rotten

Queen Latifah
Brothers Johnson's "Ain't We Funkin' Now"
https://youtu.be/4MFQ7JL318o?t=2m40s
REASON: One of my favorite samples in "Come Into My House", so by the time she's walking to the chair, have the horn section play the part, Kirk get into the guitar riff and BOOM, give me body indeed.


Sam Rockwell
Beastie Boys' "Shake Your Rump"
https://youtu.be/BptQHAW2T5M?t=1m17s
REASON: We both know many songs that have the phrase "I rock well" but I went to this one because:
"A puppet on a string I'm paid to sing or rhyme
Or do my thing I'm
In a lava lamp inside my brain hotel
I might be peakin' or freakin' *but I rock well*
The Patty Duke the wrench and then I bust the tango
Got more rhymes than Jamaica got mangoes
I got a peg leg at the end of my stump
Shake your rump"

You have to do this one

https://youtu.be/FgVjTZZTcDE

Should be self explanatory, but this was the song playing in the first ninja turtles movie when the audience is introduced to the underground club of rebellious kids and Sam Rockwell is their leader, showing them around, offering them cigarettes etc.

Queen Latifah

Blue "Best in Me"
https://youtu.be/zYMVEUj9rFI

Why: Change it to "Bessie."

Sam Rockwell

Rockwell "Somebody's Watching Me"
https://youtu.be/7YvAYIJSSZY

Why: The name, and also because he's starring in Poltergeist and the characters definitely sense that someone is watching them.

Jumping At The Woodside - Count Basie
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KCLE3VXNswE

Why? He played Chuck Barris in Confessions of A Dangerous Mind, and this is the song that Gene Gene The Dancing Machine (R.I.P) would come out to and everyone would dance. It's a good song for him to dance to.

Gene Gene dance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xuJHKVQ2kLA

Queen Latifah - "O, Dana" by Big Star
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wg72cFC7fZw

A nod to her real first name. (also, dammit. If I win another week down the line, I gotta remember to do Big Star)

Sam Rockwell - "Down to Earth" by Flight Faculties
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IH5L4qTVsTk

Sam pulls a Christopher Walken and dances solo in the video.

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

Please make this happen, I'm laughing my ass off just thinking about it.

Queen Latifah
'Q.U.E.E.N" - Janelle Monae

but he always wants a james feel to dance out to

Why did I let Sean cut my hair back in February?

Ha! It wasn't the haircut, it was the actual blood and urine samples.

Alright, so my desk music pick is gonna be Raphael Saadiq. Would be cool to hear a progression each day through the different eras of his catalog.

i'm kind of surprised at the results, considering I've been feeling like I'm on a losing streak lately.
