Celebrity Tunes presents Kristin Davis’ music playlist and her personal comments about each song.

"Golden" (Track 1): "This is a wonderful song about living your life with a sense of freedom.

She has an amazing voice and sings songs very much in sync with the spirit of Sex and the City."
"Stronger" (Track 2): "What could be better than Kanye rapping to Nietzsche, with a line from the show thrown in as well. 'Me likey!!!!!!!'"
"Connected" (Track 3): "One season of the show we shot so many all-nighters in Times Square, that we basically took up residence in the W Hotel there. They have great mixed CDs in the rooms, and this song was on it that season. So I danced around the room to this many nights."
"Can't Hide Love" (Track 4): "I love any song by E, W, + F. This one is a good anthem for the show in general."
"Use Me" (Track 5): "Another good song for the show, a sensual song about the power of lust."
"Got 2 Be Down" (Track 6): "He has such a beautiful voice, sexy and emotional. And the way their voices blend it so perfect. The lyrics are about trying to make a relationship work."
"4 In the Morning" (Track 7): "A beautiful song about love, that also reminds me of how many times we were all together shooting Sex and the City into the wee hours."
"Never Can Say Goodbye" (Track 8): "This seem to be the perfect song for how we all feel about our fans and the entire Sex experience."
"One" (Track 9): "Another song about togetherness, in the global sense. The feeling of connectedness that comes with being a part of something that so many people love, and the complicated dynamics that come with being part of a group."

Celebrity Tunes presents Rainn Wilson’s music playlist and his personal comments about each song.

"To the Dogs or Whoever" (Track 1): “Ok, seriously. How is this guy not a national treasure?. The best post-Dylan-esque, poet, folky rocker EVER! Impossible to pick just one song. My son and I sing the first line together, ‘deep in the belly of the whale I found her / down with the deep blue jail around her/ running her hands through the ribs of the dark, Florence and Calamity and Joan of Arc/ I love the way she looks in her underwear.’ Poetry, dude.”
"Let the Distance Keep Us Together" (Track 2): “I know nothing about this song other than it’s by two of my favorite artists and I have listened to it about 400 times and just love the syncopation of the piano and guitar.”
"Start a War" (Track 3): “You can’t pick just one song by the National. They create beautiful, throbbing, operas that are somewhere between Joy Division and Leonard Cohen. His voice haunts me. Listen to this song while on a road trip and you will merge with the landscape.”
"Kids" (Track 4): “These guys can write a melody that seeps into your bones. Is that a Casio keyboard?”
"You Ain't Goin' Nowhere" (Track 5): “My 3 and a half year old son’s favorite song. He calls it the ‘down into the easy chair’ song. That misfit duo from
"Love Comes to Me" (Track 6): “Will Oldham. This is guy is weird and an actor (
"Soldier's Grin" (Track 7): “They’re drunk and from Montreal and friends with Arcade Fire. There were no actual wolves or parades involved in the making of this album.”
"Crosses" (Track 8): “I heard this song on a compilation they had at the Soho Hotel in London and fell in love with it. ‘Cause that’s how I roll. Anyone know who this guy is?”
"In the Aeroplane Over the Sea" (Track 9): “Ok, this is the only defunct band on here. And this song is like 8 or 10 years old but I just had to include this surreal Southern collective that made two perfect albums and disappeared back into the kudzu.”
"Freeway" (Track 10): “Digging her new album. Very literate and sexy. ‘You’ve got a lot of money but you can’t afford the freeway.’ I don’t know what that means exactly. Can someone explain?”
"Sultan" (Track 11): “I met these guys at the Sasquatch music festival. They’re hipsters from Austin and yet aren’t afraid to do Billy Joel covers. Catchy fun. Love his voice.”
"My Love for You Is Real" (Track 12): “I struggle to play this one on my guitar. Ryan writes great love songs which he plays to the likes of Parker Posey and Mandy Moore and gets them all dewey and doe-eyed. Then they smoke cigarettes and talk about Cindy Sherman and order Thai. I made that last part up.”
"The Commander Thinks Aloud" (Track 13): “This is a song about the space shuttle Challenger disaster. For a gruesome song about death it sure is uplifting and magical. ‘Boys and girls in cars/dogs and birds on lawns/ from here I can touch the sun.’ Gorgeous.”
"Down" (Track 14): “I gotta put something from my movie on here. This great ADD smash was written by two buddies of mine, Ferraby Lionheart and Chris Faizi.”

Jimmy Kimmel’s Celebrity Music Playlist

Jimmy Kimmel, born November 13, 1967 is an American television host and comedian. He is the host of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, a late-night talk show that airs on ABC. Prior to that, Kimmel was best known as the co-host of Comedy Central’s The Man Show and Win Ben Stein’s Money. Kimmel is also a television producer, having produced shows such as Crank Yankers and The Andy Milonakis Show.

Celebrity Tunes presents Jimmy Kimmel’s music playlist and his personal comments about each song.

"Do You Believe In Love" (Track 1): “I love Huey Lewis. I really do. The News too. This song gives me the illusion of happiness every time I hear it. I could be trapped in my car at the bottom of a lake and still sing along with it.”
"Secret O' Life" (Track 2): “Choosing only one James Taylor song is hard, but you can’t go wrong with this one. If you really are looking for the secret of life, it’s right here – “the secret of life is enjoying the passage of time.” You can’t argue with that.”
"Alison" (Track 3): “I thought twice about choosing this one because it is an obvious pick, but I love it – and when I look at my iTunes play count – it is right there on top of all the other Elvis songs (and I have them all).”
"Man's Job" (Track 4): “There are a hundred great Springsteen songs, many better and deeper than this one – but this is a personal favorite.”
"Umbrella (feat. Jay-Z)" (Track 5): “I know, I’m not 14 years old or a girl, but this is a great pop song and I listen to it far more than I am comfortable admitting.”
"Don't Worry Baby" (Track 6): “Listen to this one closely – it is easy to miss what a great recording this is. Great song to fall asleep to, especially if you are worried (and are a baby).”
"Bones" (Track 7): “The Killers are the only band ever to do three nights on my show. Like me, they are from Vegas and I love them – especially the horn line in this song.”
"The Impression That I Get" (Track 8): “I added this one mostly to annoy my announcer Dicky Barrett. He is the lead singer for the Bosstones and I enjoy pretending that it is the only song they ever recorded. Truth be told, this really is one of my all–time favorite songs and it is the main reason I hired an announcer who sounds like he swallowed a bucket of rocks.”
"Stan" (Track 9): “Eminem might be the greatest rapper ever. Most of his songs are very personal, but this one isn’t (I hope). It is a very scary short story, with a sample I still can’t get my head around. Where does someone like Eminem even hear Dido in the first place?”
"The Underdog" (Track 10): “My brother sent this song to me, knowing I would like it. He was right. I love a band with a horn section and embraced this one the first time I heard it.”
"The Rain" (Track 11): “Funniest song ever. I can’t recite any great work of literature, but I know every word to this song by heart.”
"Heartlight" (Track 12): “I am a great admirer of Neil Diamond’s – and the fact that he was so inspired by the movie ET, he went right from a theater to a studio to record this song only makes me love him more.”
"Homecoming" (Track 13): “Kanye West and Chris Martin seem like a strange mix, but this song is great. Just ask Kanye.”
"Time After Time" (Track 14): “The fact that she had red and yellow hair and a partially shaved head when she recorded it obscured the fact that this is one of the best pop songs ever.”
