I figure with an Axton song, I go for a complimentary country song for Lakshmi. ____ ALTERNATE CHOICE (Lakshmi): Cheryl "Pepsi" Riley's "Thanks For My Child" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICxk7dYYrOs REASON: same as above.

Russell Brand Rose Tattoo's "Branded" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aKrrKX5Azgo REASON: His show is called BRAND-X, he is Russell Brand, he's a rocker, so I go to a song that was on MTV in the mid to late 80's by a great Australian hard rock band. I think they didn't make it in the US because they didn't have the stereotypical metal look for the era (i.e. bald singer, drummer with a mullet).

Sarah Silverman The Legendary Pink Dots' "Flowers For The Silver Man" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0M6AiM2mpFk REASON: Her last name. The song is very 80's, uptempo new-wavy vibe. The chorus has the title in the lyric:
"That's the way the world goes round It spins so fast, it made him giddy Sucking all the power from the Silver Man Sucking all the power from the Silver Man"
Bobby Cannavale Melissa Etheridge's "Lucky" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQgbfDly7Bg REASON: Cannavale plays the character of Lucky, and the opening lyric is "I want to see how lucky Lucky can be"
Or the chorus: "I want to see how lucky Lucky can be I want to ride with my Angel and live shockingly I want to drive to the edge and into the sea I want to see how lucky Lucky can be"
ALTERNATE PICK (Cannavale) Kylie Minogue's "I Should Be So Lucky"
25. "Okay, I don't know what the hell I was looking at. my pick for Booby:" In response to Reply # 19
Bobby Cannavale Fleetwood Mac's "Gypsy" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HKTTlVGIeFk REASON: He portrays Gyp. My original entry was wrong because I thought he portrayed someone else.
This is a bit of a subliminal, though not a diss at all. On BOARDWALK EMPIRE this season, Booby's character Gyp is shown having sex with a belt around his neck, which is how INXS frontman Michael Hutchence passed away. Bobby is also new to the show, and has become quite a sensation.

Why? About a year ago on the "ThisIsMyNext" podcast he famously said "Using windows feels like poison" - which has brought a lot of ridicule and taunting.
And say "Josh Tops hates poisons. Windows is poison." (And then do a lot of "poison" ad libs.)
BIG GEEK CRED. IT'll stick on Reddit for at least 6 hours.
He'll fall out laughing, he'll mention on his site, on his podcast - and I'd bet he'd invite you to be on The Verge Show.
(If he doesn't get to walk out and the segment starts at a table then play this into commercial.)
Javier Bardem Adele's "Skyfall" REASON: Bardem is in SKYFALL, so obvious choice. However, since Bardem is from Spain, perform the song Spanish style. If too obvious, then I'll go for an alternate pick that I had suggested for someone else:
Roni Size/Reprasent's "Share The Fall" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vhlkFEA0azk REASON: He's in SKY*FALL*. Perform this with a Spanish arrangement, kind of a Gipsy Kings vibe.
The RZA Prince Rakeem's "Ooh, I Love You Rakeem" REASON: His first single on Tommy Boy from 1991, it must be done. Old school U-WU members will be proud.
Joshua Topolsky Bobby McFerrin's "Windows" REASON: Maybe he'll talk about the new Windows 8, maybe not. I was going to go for N*E*R*D's "Windows" or Melissa Etheridge's "Come To My Window" and thought eh.

Christina Aguilera The Carpenters' "Sing" REASON: Had originally come up with Cheap Trick's "Voices" or Hall & Oates' "You Make My Dreams" (because it comes from their VOICES album) but I went simple. I'm a sucker for this song (childhood memories) and the idea of someone not worrying if it's not good enough for anyone else to hear... see, that's the emotional lyric right there. I'm 3 all over again.
Naomie Harris Lene Lovich's "New Toy" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jztgaereXyI Instead of saying "new Toy", say "New Eve", since Harris plays the new Eve in the new Bond movie. Thus the chorus:
"I want a new toy, to keep my head expanding. I want a new toy, nothing too demanding. Then when everything is in roses, everything is static Yeah my new toy, you'll find us in the attic"
Or the part at the end with the funky drums at 2:34, where the lyrics are just: "new toy, oh weh oh"
I suggested this for someone people, so I'll try it again. One of my favorite Thomas Dolby moments.
