mg: Blake Shelton

Are you sure this isn't a repeat? Is Blake Shelton on the Bon Jovi NBC contract plan?? I don't watch Ellen or Today or ET or E! News and I"m sick of seeing his face. Imagine being "America."


Blake Shelton
Love Will Turn You Around · Kenny Rogers
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSYoVZioNz0

Why? He's gotta turn that chair around on the voice. And face it before Gwen people hated this dudes stupid guts!! (I personally have no opinion on the man.)

Scott Eastwood
Digable Planets - Pacifics
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4rbP_wfWszc

why? He's in Pacifics Rim (Reaching for Pacific Rims Sunday is my rope, dig it)

Blake Shelton
Merle Haggard's "Every Fool Has A Rainbow"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJDhCCAfRwk
REASON: Everyone likes an old school country song so since Blake Shelton can be foolish on the show, I give him this. One of the genuine country songs on Capitol Records, which seems to fill my thrift stores around here.



Scott Eastwood
808 State's "Pacific (0101)"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8iTpR66RITQ
REASON: He's in PACIFICS RIM. Since I'm from the Pacific Rim, I could pick countless songs but I chose this. I chose the 0101 mix although I would prefer for you to play the (Break) mix:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-KIL2BR3BRE

but I'll take what I can get. Nice smooth jazz-ish soprano saxophone solo too.

Blake Shelton

The Roots "Singing Man"
https://youtu.be/V2wP6edFEzM

Why: He's on 'The Voice,' he's a singing man, I'm late in this post, and I think we're all running out of ideas for 'voice'-related songs.

Scott Eastwood

Mobb Deep "Temperature's Rising"
https://youtu.be/KdF8wEfP6MQ

Why: He's starring in 'Pacific Rim Uprising,' change the hook to say that.

Blake Shelton
Hollaback Girl - Gwen Stefani

Scott Eastwood
"Risin To The Top" by Keni Burke

mg: Prhyme ft 2 Chainz

John Boyega

#1: Pacifics by Digable Planets agin.

-or-
#MightbeTooOldandBritish(Elton John)
Attack The Block- Get That Snitch
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TclHBIzshHg

Why? Still pitching the end credit song from "Attack the block" - the first file I saw him in.


--
Bob Saget
Housequake - Prince
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hy4UsVQMI80

Why? Since thy fired Fuller House's creates I can only hope the creator takes vengeance and destroys the house with a housequake.

John Boyega
If not used for Scott Eastwood, then...
808 State's "Pacific (0101)"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8iTpR66RITQ
REASON: He's in PACIFICS RIM.


ALTERNATE CHOICE:
If used:
Dennis Wilson's "Pacific Ocean Blues"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=er1LsKPXLj8
REASON: Do a song by the only Beach Boy that surfed and died from drowning.




Bob Saget
The Philadelphia Experimenet's "The Philadelphia Experiment"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ke75gm40njk
REASON: This album will forever remain in my collection. He's from Philadelphia and while he has done his share of traveling (like you), he remains an ongoing experiment, or "a spaniard in the works".

John Boyega

Busta Rhymes "Don't Touch Me (Throw Da Water On 'Em)"
https://youtu.be/y2tSbNaeLZ0

Why: Pacific Rim Uprising is a water-driven battlefield.


Bob Saget

Wes Montgomery "Full House"
https://youtu.be/AFkQ0By8N1g

Why: 'Full/Fuller House' reference.

John Boyega
"Keep It On" by Slum Village


Bob Saget
"Full House" by Wes Montgomery
Suggested by:seandammit

James McAvoy
Intro - Chromeo
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJjhC0utjYI

Why? I think he's there the sequel to Gnomeo and Juilet called Sherlock Gnomes
. His character is named Gnomeo. (The Tonight Show page is not up yet so I can't be sure he's promoting that.)

--
Zoey Deutch
Stevie Wonder - Power Flower
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dm0ZA0gDkqQ

Why? She's in the movie "Flower."

And honestly if the Stevie/The Roots concert takes place let me be the first to say "I need on that guest list!"

James McAvoy
Pink Floyd's "The Gnome"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZrOe4TKouPE
REASON: He plays a blue gnome named Gnomeo in SHERLOCK GNOMES



Zoey Deutch
Soundgarden's "Flower"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=brOPaxbz1CU
REASON: She's in a new film called FLOWER. For many of us in the Pacific Northwest, we still love Hiro Yamamoto-era Soundgarden and that would mean their debut album on SST, after the group stopped being "arty", a/k/a "we need to make money, we can't sound like The Cure anymore."

James McAvoy

Strutt "Front Row Romeo"
https://youtu.be/1vuybEbrXAU

Why: He plays Gnomeo in the Sherlock Gnomes film. Flip that hook.

Zoey Deutch

Bobby Hebb "Flower"
https://youtu.be/onm-PoHNv3I

Why: 'Flower' reference.

James McAvoy
Eric Burdon & War - Spill The Wine (Get that Gnome)


Zoey Deutch
"Flowers" by Armand Van Helden

mg: Billie Elish

Will Smith
The Cure's "Pictures Of You"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8UR2TFUp8w
REASON: Recently joining Instagram, he has become one of the new "it" people of IG and thus the song represents the pictures of him.



Fran Lebowitz
Heavy D. & The Boyz featuring Crystal Johnson's "Got Me Waiting:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cRKfrtyz3sg
REASON: One of her famous quotes is "The opposite of talking isn't listening. The opposite of talking is waiting", thus I chose Heavy D. She will most likely not walk out and dance to this but in the minuscule chance she does: bonus points.

Why? I have NO IDEA what he's promoting?

Fran Lebowitz
Men In Shorts Are Disgusting - Jonathan Mann
https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=12&v=Xk7qAdcgq2g


Why? Song made of snarky quotes from her.

AND also why? Jonathan Mann made , what I consider to be, the best ending theme song for a podcast ever: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCXItGrjqrw

Will Smith

A Tribe Called Quest "Motivators"
https://youtu.be/lGRWmbGOe-I

Why: Also not sure what he is promoting this week, but since joining IG/social media, he has been posting nothing but "motivators."

Fran Lebowitz

Beastie Boys "Boomin' Granny"
https://youtu.be/_P2gW7uRpGA

Why: Change the "granny" to "Franny." I'm sure she's somebody out there's boomin' granny.

Big Blue Marble Theme – Skip Redwine
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IlIx0pdjp-Q#t=30s

Why? Theme to the children's TV show on PBS. The lyrics are spot on for this.

OR
Blackrock "Yeah Yeah"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kw0D4CIwNHQ

If you must make it racial.

Leslie Mann
Operation CB - Kool G. Rap & DJ Polo
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XPExuEgxGp0

Why? In the new film "Blockers" she finds out her daughter and her daughter' s friends are all planning to lose their virginity on the same night, and she (and John Cena) are on a mission to cock block.

And if this gets on it'll be so great and silly.

Leslie Mann
Spencer Davis Group's "I'm A Man"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=POCUgBSVENQ
REASON: Because Leslie is a Mann.



Jim Jefferies
Marilyn McCoo & Billy Davis Jr.'s "You Don't Have To Be A Star (To Be In My Show)"

Can you track down the version they play on The Price Is Right and do that arrangement?

(The Solid Gold cover was so good a few weeks ago, you nailed the sound.)

I initially thought of the Chicago Transit Authority because it lacked horns and I love Danny Seraphine's drumming, which did make me think of how it's used in THE PRICE IS RIGHT but I thought "nah". It would be clever if it was used though.

Me'Shell NdegeOcello's "Bitter"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X7BCwekvNbs
REASON: His new film is ACRIMONY, thus a fitting song. Feel free to spruce up the vibe of the song to make it sound un-bitter.

#1: More than a Woman - The Bee gees

And since some people in The Roots value working more than snarking...

#2 Rob Base & DJ EZ Rock - "Joy & Pain"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hBaOlNVl9o

Why? His new show is "The Paynes"

Serious question: Is Major Payne a character on the show??
