What songs do you want to hear for today's coffee break?

Another great idea came via the emails yesterday. Listener, Amy, from Excelsior wrote "my idea comes from Courtney Barnett's new song. She makes reference to Christopher Walken. How about songs that reference actors in the lyrics?"

Amy, we like the first part of your suggestion so much that we're going to make this a very specific Coffee Break. So, we're thinking songs that have anything and everything to do with Christopher Walken.

Believe us, there are more Walken ties in the music world than you would generally think. Songs that mention him, songs that are about him, music videos that feature him, etc. What Christopher Walken related songs should we play for today's 9:30 Coffee Break?
