NEAL CONAN, HOST:

This is TALK OF THE NATION. I'm Neal Conan, in Washington. The president's putts pass the Tiger test, the Senate sex scandal that stayed secret for 30 years and Erskine Bowles reduces sequestration to three little words. It's Wednesday and time for a...

ERSKINE BOWLES: Stupid, stupid, stupid...

CONAN: ...edition of the Political Junkie.

Songwriter Randy Newman has written some of the most beloved and memorable movie theme songs, like "You've Got a Friend in Me." But what if he applied his folksy talents to the theme of "Goodfellas"? In this quiz, guest musical raconteurs Paul and Storm grant our fondest wish by subjecting various movies to the Randy Newman theme treatment.

Quick: Who wrote "Summer of 69," Ryan Adams or Bryan Adams? Did you know it was Bryan, or did you flip a coin? In this week's Ask Me One More final round, puzzle guru Art Chung gives our finalists a range of trivia questions with two possible answers. Decisions, decisions.

See you guys at Taco Bell Biv Devoe!
