Barry Gibb Bee Gees' "Take Hold Of That Star" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9kj3MH5rTY REASON: One of their first records, from 1963. It's a way to celebrate Barry Gibb and his brothers, who definitely took ahold of that star and made it theirs.
Why? I love the Gibbs, but snark is gold! And what’s better than novelty records? (This is sub-Rutles - but still good for a laugh. Though their Michael Jackson single cover features a man blackface.)

Seth Myers Imagine Dragons' "Look How Far We've Come" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0qa7yNMVwkM REASON: for the chorus: "Time to take it over Look how far we've come Some were never meant to come around Some were never meant to leave the ground"
It's a way to say Seth Myers is taking over your show, but it doubles as the fact that you and Fallon will now be taking over THE TONIGHT SHOW.

Jennifer Connelly The Rolling Stones' "Sweet Virginia" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CvpMeq_4BPM REASON: She plays Virginia Gamely. Chorus would be perfect, but change the reference of shit to "crap" "But come on come on down sweet Virginia Come on honey child I beg of you Come on come on down you got it in you Got to scrape that shit (crap) right off your shoes"
Miles Teller Art Of Noise's "Moments In Love" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RIcmIhOesaI REASON: In honor of Teller appearing in THAT AWKWARD MOMENT, and the theme of the movie, according to Wikipedia, is: "After their friend Mikey's break-up, Jason and Daniel promise to stay single with him. However, they both end up falling in love and have to avoid facing their promise."
Thus the "love" aspect of the song would be perfect, as the movie describes significant "moments" towards what happens.

Melissa McCarthy Blueprint's "Big Girls Need Love Too" http://youtu.be/5-lepf-ark8?t=40s REASON: I suggested this before, I'll try again. The chorus" "I know this is true big girls need love too I'm not lyin' when i'm talking to you skinny girls need somebody to call them boo"
David Steinberg Slick Rick's "Lick The Balls" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O44Dvm6GZEk REASON: The documentary about him is called QUALITY BALLS, so... "So be my friend and don't pretend you will not be forgiven You're cleaning house up to the master, that's how we both are livin' So who will stands, who falls, who crowds the halls This one The Roots calls... QUALITY BALLS"
Melissa McCarthy Shttp://dailypicksandflicks.com/2013/04/07/snl-honey-baked-ham-bake-off-contest-video/ NL‘s Honey Baked Ham Bake Off skit features Melissa McCarthy as Jean Carrera, who is determined not to lose another bake-off contest because of bad ham presentation. So she performs a choreographed routine with two pigs dancing to ‘Push It’, ‘Can’t Touch This’ and ‘Get Ready for This’. Ham-tastic! Watch the sketch in the video below:
45. "My pick (David Crosby)" In response to Reply # 4
David Crosby's "Laughing" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pzvylMnCe3k REASON: Easily the best song from his incredible IF I COULD ONLY REMEMBER MY NAME album, you guys must do the last part of the past verse (at the 2:55 mark) "I was mistaken only a child laughing in the sun"
For me, the entire album is based on those lines, just the idea that we often go through life with other concerns but all it takes is a kid to laugh to ground us back to where we came from.
ALTERNATE PICK David Crosby's "What Are Their Names" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lcTuzOBdV08 REASON: Also from IF I COULD ONLY REMEMBER MY NAME, the passage that begins at 1:37 would be brilliant. You guys don't have to touch on the lyrics, deep Crosby/CSN (and sometimes Y) fans will know.
ALTERNATE PICK #2: Crosby, Stills, & Nash's "The Lee Shore" (emphasis beginning at 0:34) REASON: One of Crosby's pleasures is to ride and sail boats, and this is one of those songs that touches on that. I also sampled this in a track I did for SMI/Smilo, and it has that California/ocean feel that I can relate to: "All along the Lee shore Shells lie scattered in the sand Winking up like shining eyes, at me From the sea"

Fishbone's "Knock It" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AyFnbh5Ggko REASON: He has a new line of underwear, so he will be talking about a product/item that one wears "down there". "You all feel large... down there" You all feel large but you're looking small down there You all feel large but you're looking small down there It's hot, so take your clothes off and get in your drawers"

Chris Pratt Cheryl Lynn's "Star Love" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8DpIBzsIGmI REASON: I've been holding back on this suggestion for Star Jones in the hopes she would appear on the show but realized this would work for Pratt too. He stars as Star Lord in GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY, so the chorus would work. Change the lyric to: "I'm makin' love Star Lord in the night I'm makin' love Star Lord in the night"
Yeah, it might not make sense so if it doesn't, then: ALTERNATE PICK: Lords Of The Underground's "Here Come The Lords" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1bRoJGlNxk Same reason, just say "Here come Star Lord, here come Star Lord"
Why? I'm having intercourse while listening to Winter Warz.
Note: I realize the name of the song is not reflected in the lyrics. So if you want a song that uses the word Winter, and you want to make Kirk hit some stupid high notes there's always:

Wu-Tang Clan's "Shame On A Nuh" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vK2tOCSWf6M REASON: I was going to suggest Sly & The Family Stone's "Don't Call Me N****r Whitey" but thought I'd play it nice. It's in reference to her Instagram hashtag, and basically directs the shame on her for making the comment, so I use the clean version of the Wu-Tang song.
47. "my pick (Andy Samberg)" In response to Reply # 7
Edward Bear's "Last Song" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1EP0xhKUbHM REASON: The last walk-on song for a guest on LATE NIGHT WITH JIMMY FALLON. End chorus is basic: "It's the last song I'll ever write for you It's the last song I'll ever write for you It's the last song I'll ever write for you It's the last song I'll ever write for you"
(this will be funny to the 5 people including myself who remember the PE/Madonna beef over the Security of the First World/Justify My Love beat and YBT's jumping in with their two cents.)
OR
if you can get Madge herself to allow it, since she is on the NO List:
Reason: Her being white and thinking it's ok to use the N-word. Also her hubris in thinking it's ok for her to use the N-word tie in with BT great hubristic lyrics.

67. "Anyone want a copy of almost the shows?" In response to Reply # 0
I've got almost all of the show in pure HD rips from my Tivo. (With Commercials, and a 1 minute padding on either side.)
(The first 45 days I didn't have the Tivo so I have the copies that were floating around the net, but I do have most of the musical performances in HD thanks to David Hernsol.)
Of course the Amy Poeher show from the first year is no where to be found - no one ripped it, and it never repeated.
But if anyone is interested in sending me enough HD space I'll make backups of the shows on them and send them back to you. No charge, no trades, just an offer.
Here's the problem - it totals about 5.5TBS. That's about $200 in HDs to back it up.

BTW: since the show did a hashtag for them, here are my favorite #LateNightMemories, with one of them being censored (Rolling Stones/SOME GIRLS style) for "obvious" reasons. http://oi57.tinypic.com/34gue6d.jpg
Only after creating this did I forget the infamous Kirk head nod (which fortunately is honored with an OKP profile pic) and many of James' expressions, but I very much had to put in Maya Rudolph's edition of "Let Us Play With Your Look", which I felt was one of the show's finest moments, partly due to the vocal harmonies she did in the segment.

Like, I feel proud of us. We had some great moments and we all played a part. I can't believe it. And now 15 an' the boys are about to be the goddamn Tonight Show Band! Like, this all still blows my mind.
I just wanted to give a toast to all of us. I know it ain't a big deal in the long run, but contributing in any aspect to it all has been fucking fun. Here's to the Tonight Show!!
