I loved this new song by my pal Megan Mullally.

The song I do at karaoke Looking Glass – ‘Brandy’

The song that reminds me of home Billy Joel – ‘Scenes From An Italian Restaurant’ “When I’m listening to classic jazz from the likes of Miles Davis, its roots in America bring me home. But Billy Joel’s songs remind me of my early years in New York and what a fun time that was.”

The first song I remember hearing Peggy Lee – ‘Is That All There Is?’ “I had some troubled years growing up and unfortunately my mother started drinking after my father left. She had a song by Peggy Lee that she played a lot, which completely highlighted the point of her life at that moment – “If that’s all there is / Let’s break out the booze…” If you listen to it, it’s such a slow, depressing spiral. I remember hating that song when I was young but I’ve since come to see it as an honest depiction of how my mother was feeling. It’s emotional still.”

When asked to pick out the album that changed his life, Cranston chose The Beatles’ 1967 psychedelic touchstone, Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. "When I listen to it now it’s still amazing.”

The first song I fell in love with Simon & Garfunkel – ‘Mrs. Robinson’ That song was popular when I was 12 and was playing when I was trying to pluck up the courage to ask a girl out.

The song that makes me want to dance George Strait – ‘I Just Want To Dance With You’ “I was listening to this country song by George Strait while writing a screenplay set in the old country. It helped me stay in that mood and my daughter was very young at the time so I’d pick her up and swing her round doing our dance to that song.”
