Uma Thurman Judas Priest's arrangement of "Johnny B. Goode" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29kLB4x6FyU REASON: She starred in the 1988 film JOHNNY BE GOOD, thus is meant to refer to that.

Emmy Rossum Serge Gainsbourg & Jean-Pierre Sabar's "Goodbye Emmanuelle" http://open.spotify.com/track/1ZC12aetPGv0UjBX3FXsc2 REASON: Her first name is Emmanuelle, but instead of saying "goodbye" as the lyrics state, replace it with "Hello".
Grace Coddington Beat Happening's "Red Head Walking" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8bGZl8k2PQ REASON: A lady like her deserves a great song, and thus I choose the great "Red Head Walking".
(from her wikipedia: "Upon singing "Happy Birthday" in all 12 keys, Rossum was welcomed to join the Metropolitan Opera Children's Chorus by chorus director Elena Doria at the age of 7. Over the course of five years, she sang onstage with the chorus and had the chance to perform with other opera greats, such as Plácido Domingo and Luciano Pavarotti. For anywhere from $5 to $10 a night, Rossum sang in six different languages in 20 different operas, including La bohème, Turandot, a Carnegie Hall presentation of La damnation de Faust, and A Midsummer Night's Dream. She also worked under the direction of Franco Zeffirelli in Carmen. Rossum joked in interviews that her vocal talent and affinity for music developed because her mother always listened to classical music and operas while she was pregnant with her.")
Why? The documentary "The September Issue." The film revolves around the making of the Vogue September 2007 issue. It depicts the effort that goes into making the magazine, and the passion that Grace Coddington, a former model turned creative director and the only person who dares to stand up to Anna Wintour, has for the highly-regarded fashion magazine. In the film, Coddington is often portrayed as the leading victim to Wintour's aggressive personality. However, the relationship between Wintour and Coddington reveals itself to be symbiotic as Wintour recognizes Coddington's expertise and keen eye for design. In the end, Wintour approves most of Coddington's ideas and they appear in the final version of the September issue.

Crap, pick for Donovan's 'Season Of The Witch" was taken by CapnNish. Will come up with new one.
Hoda Kotb Jermaine Stewart's "We Don't Have To Take Our Clothes Off" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TmAYwGw_eDI REASON: "We can dance and party all night and drink some cherry wine, Hoda", in reference to her drinking wine on a regular basis with Kathie Lee.

Stargard's "Which Way Is Up" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYS24j4qc9Q REASON: One of my all time favorite songs, and since he stars in a movie subtitled WITCH HUNTERS, I go for this as a means of name recognition (and an excuse to get a chance for you guys to play this.)

Arnold Schwarzenegger John Balamos' "Hercules In New York" theme http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KP3wE7bkDkk REASON: This was the first movie he starred in, as Arnold Strong, and he hates it. But he will be in NYC for Fallon, thus it's time to revive it.
Here's the trailer for the movie, complete with Schwarzenegger's dubbed voice. The video can be downloaded as an HD file, in case it can be used for the show: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PAReTzVG-yw
Maggie Q Ween's "Touch My Tooter" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OIWtqWbep3k REASON: She's not a big fan of pop music, so I figured as a local girl (well, "local" to me), I give her a Ween song, due to these lyrics: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OIWtqWbep3k Buddy, why's my brain so muddy Why do I feel like putty when she walks into the room? Sonny, it ain't all milk and honey And I don't think it's funny when she starts to groove"
Also, I feel Miss Quigley is pure guava, which is the name of the Ween album this song is from.

Jessica Chastain Beat Happening's "Red Head Walking" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8bGZl8k2PQ REASON: She is a red head, and if the song is not used earlier in the week, I'd like to suggest it here.
ALTERNATE PICK: The Roots' "Dear God 2.0" REASON: His last name can be used to replace the word God in the chorus, or Black Thought can refer to the section of the song about sending "my daddy to you in a barage of bullets".
Alan Zweibel Fun Boy Three's "The Lunatics Have Taken Over The Asylum" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=POzSXzwbwIc REASON: He wrote a book with Dave Barry called LUNATICS, so it refers to that and the tone of the book itself.
