Zooey Deschanel Lene Lovich's "New Toy" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jztgaereXyI REASON: Title association. She's in NEW GIRL, so switch the title up a bit. I've suggested this song before, I'll try it again.
Tony Bennett Tony Bennett's "I will Live My Life For You" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FYh2gMLNFr0 REASON: He's most likely there to promote his new autobiography, called Life Is a Gift, thus I went with this because "life" is in the title. The last verse in the song goes...
"So until I'm old and gray I will pray that I may Live my life for you"
It's a thankful song to the woman in question, but can be used as a way to be thankful for the life he has lived and career he has had all these years.
The song was written by Marcel Stellman, Henri Salvador, and Kurt Feltz.

Bob Costas LRB (Little River Band)'s "Playing To Win" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_ad9TqnVEo REASON: He's a sports anchor, always supporting the winner. I requested this before, don't remember who it was for, but I'll suggest it again.
Pitbull Pete Rock & CL Smooth's "Worldwide" REASON: Pitbull is "worldwide", so why not offer him an appropriate song? Not a fan of his music, but used to like him years ago when it seemed he had the potential to be a new version of Fat Joe. That never happened, so it's my way of saying "hey Pitbull, this is what it means to be worldwide".
(I suggested it last time for him-- one of my fave highlights from his Later show was when he and Richard LEwis were just riffing on old TV shows and broke out into singinging this song-- particularlly paying keen interest to the "a hot dog makes her losing control" line)

Amy Poehler Mya's "My Love Is Like...Wo" REASON: I always go out of my way to see if she'll dance to specific songs, becaue I am all about the Amy Poehler. For this one, instead of saying "wo", say "Knope" in relation to her PARKS & RECREATION character, and if she gets down when the lyrics says "my ass is like...Knope", BOOM! Cue the dancehall siren.
Alicia Keys Alicia Keys' "Little Drummer Girl" REASON: Despite the changes she has done to her music, I remember this song for being the first time I had seen here, when she was part of the So So Def Christmas special on BET. Maybe it can be a sly way of saying "don't forget when you were rocking Al Green breaks and corn rolls".

(The Parks & Rec theme song, with "Jabba The Hut" as the only lyric. Watch the above video and then watch this second one for a side by side comparison. Amazing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhfb0LlmwEk)

Rashida Jones Quincy Jones' "I Heard That" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-WBh6knVLJI REASON: I suggested this for her, so I'll try again. I hope it's not considered incestuous. If so, then I revive the alternate choice I had for her the last time:
"I'm down to chop it up with your dad in town or is he out of town I know he from the town What was it like when pop was around Or Michael Jackson came around Was he still brown? You want to talk about something else now?"
Hopefully by then, she will have positioned herseof to sit with Fallon and "talk about something else now".
Artie Lange & Nick DiPaolo Genesis' "It's Gonna Get Better" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XbhrIBMsK48 REASON: As a fan of Mr. Lange, I know he continues to deal with whatever bad elements he may be going through at any time. I try to offer a song of encouragement so that he can fight the good fight, this I focus on the first verse:
"Reach out, hands in the air, Don't care just what they're saying Hold out, just keep on hoping against hope That it's gonna get better Don't worry, there's no hurry for you, for me, Everything's gonna come around Shout out, someone will listen to you, to me, Someone's gonna see"
I have seen a few episode of The Artie & Nick Show, love the direction and I hope he continues doing it for as long as possible.
