Joseph Gordon Levitt De La Soul's "Skip To My Loop" REASON: He is in a movie called LOOPER, so why referring to Mr. Hooper in SESAME STREET would work as well, I'm going to go with De la.
Lorraine Bracco Eric Burdon & War's "Spill The Wine" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3i0DMbCKnAg REASON: She has (or had) her own line of wines called Bracco Wines, so the song is meant to be celebratory.

NO! LIST Tom Petty M J Zeppelin Springsteen Neil Young Eagles Ray Charles Madonna Chuck Berry South Park TV Songs Justin Timberlake "Food Glorious Food" "Twilight Zone" theme "A Boy Named Sue" "Night Moves" "The Situation" "Superbowl Shuffle"
Heidi Klum David Bowie's "Fashion" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GA27aQZCQMk REASON: She's most likely there to promote her new book, "Project Runway: The Show That Changed Fashion".
Chris Coffer Yes' "Wonderous Stories" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z98xcWa_NAw REASON: Coffer has a new book called THE LAND OF STORIES, so perhaps you can begin at the 0:25 mark with these lines: "Sound did silence me leaving no trace I beg to leave, to hear your wonderous stories Beg To hear your wonderous stories"
ALTERNATE CHOICE: Terence Trent-Darby's "Wishing Well" REASON: His book is subtitled "The Wishing Spell", so perhaps the lyric can be changed from well to spell.
When he was in high school, he wanted to sing this, but his teacher wouldn't let him because the song is a girl's song. The ended up turning that experience into A GLEE episode.
I don't give a crap if you don't like my hat Because I know it's amazing And I don't give a poops if you don't like my hoops Because I know they're amazing I don't care if you're in my underwear Because it all feels amazing And I don't give a fuck if you think I suck Because I know I'm amazing

Jeff Daniels Don Henley's "Dirty Laundry" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46bBWBG9r2o REASON: He stars in THE NEWSROOM, and "Dirty Laundry" is about the crap within the news industry.
Jenna Bush Hager Janet Jackson's "Control" REASON: While everyone knows who her father and grandfather is, she said she is her own person, so I focus on the lines: "I got my own mind I want to make my own decisions When it has to do with my life, my life I want to be the one in control"
Politics aside, I'd like to think she's trying to be her own person and not be absolute in following in the footsteps of her relatives, so I'll try with this one.
ALTERNATE CHOICE Giorgio Moroder's "Chase (theme from MIDNIGHT EXPRESS)" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Akyx5iu_z8Y REASON: Jenna Bush's husband is Henry "Chase" Hager.

14. "updated pick (for Jeff Daniels)" In response to Reply # 8
Kid 'N Play's "Gittin' Funky (Album Version)" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k3r6LjGVXos REASON: I know he has been in many movies, but he will always be known for his role in DUMB & DUMBER, so when I read that my original choice for Daniels was a no-go (i.e. Don Henley), I immedaitely thought of this song, specifically the album version with the verse not in the single version. I focus on the last few lines in the last verse (go to 4:02 mark) "Your brain must be numb if you think you got my number Boy, you're just dumb and I think you're gettin dumber To think that you could handle the Kid, ha-ha, just to dis Yo, I'm the best at this I'm gittin funky"
NOTE: Lyric websites state the line says "to think that you could handle the Kid, ha-ha, just to dis", but that doesn't sound right. I asked Kid on Twitter for confirmation. If I find out, I'll post the actual lyric here.
(if the actual chorus won't fly, maybe just an instrumental break or the building up "are you ready? are you ready for this? do you like it? do you like it like this?")

9. "my pick (Mike Tyson)" In response to Reply # 4
Mike Tyson The Drifters' "On Broadway" (but done in the George Benson arrangement) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGHGTH5lWEY REASON: Tyson will have a one-man show on Broadway, so I'll choose that.
Why? Great song, and it builds on the tradition of playing songs with Today in the title (and PLAY for Today kind of brings in a office politics angle.) And go with the instrumental portions of the song. (Graham Central's Station's play was a little slow for a walk on.)

Kyra Sedgwick Paul Westerberg's "Dyslextic Heart" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JcMIWKu0ZYE REASON: She starred in singles, which will celebrate its 20th anniversary in September. While she is known for many roles, many of us in the Pacific Northwest will remember this movie for a number of reasons. I was able to get a "singles" track for Jeremy Piven, so I want to give one to Miss Sedgwick.
Bob Odenkirk Ollie & Jerry's "Breakin' (There's No Stoppin' Us)" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GSonuVwSKHE REASON: Odenkirk is in BREAKING BAD, and while I could've chosen songs about lawyers or meth (as the storyline is apparently touching on that), I wanted to go here. Plus, I feel Kirk could do the falsetto voice in the song justice.
EXTRA BONUS POINTS if you can get Lucinda Dickey out of retirement and recreate her role as Special K in a leotard.
