Post a song by a TV or movie star...
There have always been those TV or movie stars who have yearned for musical stardom as well, so post a song by one of these wanna be singers.

12. Patrick Swayze -- "She's Like the Wind"
I think this was a big hit for him. It might have been from the 'Dirty Dancing' soundtrack (never saw the movie, don't know)

13. Another one
Vanessa Williams - "Save the Best for Last"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5EdmHSTwmWY

She actually did have a music career, so I don't know if this counts. I think this was probably her biggest hit in terms of sales and chart position. Hard to believe that this song is about 20 years old now.

44. Two words for Ian....
Code Name: Diamond Head

:yoiks:

Despite that early effort, he's a super cool actor. He's really good in Sexy Beast and 44 Inch Chest.

32. How about an E.R. medley?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_g7byKNH05g (Words and music by Paul McCrane (Rockin' Rocket Romano)) (Turn the volume up...)

and, well, this doesn't really count but I can't resist (for reasons that have nothing to do with music...):

I was 18 when that song came out. I waited patiently for the local radio station to play it.

36. Will Ferrell - "Pimps Don't Cry"
It's from the Other Guys and it's actually performed by the great Cee-Lo Green, but the writing credits are attributed to him:
