Susan Sarandon Jerry Butler's "You Can Fly" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-E4XhdDwZpk REASON: This is from one of her first films, JOE, the soundtrack of which has a nice break. I was originally going to suggest Bobby Scott's "Compton's Hangout", since she played Melissa Compton in the movie.
ALTERNATE CHOICE: N.W.A's "Compton's In The House" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YGLJhek2CFU REASON: See above.
============
Adriana Lima Jorge Ben's "Ponta de Lança Africano (Umbabaruma)" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAh4Vb1ghCo REASON: She's from Brazil, and while this song is meant to sound like that about a soccer player who gets the ball in a goal, it's about an "Africano" who makes sure his "ball" gets into the intended "goal". It would be incredible to hear this as she walks out:
"Joga bola jogador joga bola corocondô Joga bola jogador joga bola corocondô
Here, here, here jogador here, here, here corocondô here, here, here jogador here, here, here corocondô
Tererê, tererê, tererê, tererê Tererê homem gol Tererê, tererê, tererê, tererê Tererê homem gol"
ALTERNATE CHOICE: Almir Guineto's "Caxambu" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYxLX-Fb51s
"Olha vamos na dança do Caxambu Saravá, jongo, saravá Engoma, meu filho que eu quero ver Você rodar até o amanhecer Engoma, meu filho que eu quero ver Você rodar até o amanhecer
O tambor tá batendo é pra valer É na palma da mão que eu quero ver O tambor tá batendo é pra valer E na palma da mão que eu quero ver
Dona Celestina me da água pra beber Se você não me der água vou falar mal de você Deu meia noite. o galo já cantou Na igreja bate o sino é na dança do jogo que eu vou Deu meia noite. o galo já cantou Na igreja bate o sino é na dança do jogo que eu vou"
In English:
"Let's dance Caxambu Press my suit Because I want to see you turn until dawn THe drum is beating, for real It's in the palm of the hand The proof I want to see
Mrs. Celestina Give me water to drink If you don't give me water I'll speak badly of you
It's already midnight The cock has crowed The church bell's rung Fall into the dance of the early morning"
As you can see, it plays with the time that the show airs ("after midnight", "early morning", and instead of saying "Dona Celestina", say Dona Adriana.
Again, the song is playful and is meant to be that way to introduce someone with a song that not only welcomes her into your "NBC home" with the music of her home, but it's purposely flirtatious.
SHORT VERSION: Macking points.
