Would you accept this one:

Richard Branson is president of Virgin Worldwide, which includes Virgin Records. Janet Jackson is on the Virgin Records label. "Polka Your Eyes Out" and "Polka Party!" both include songs by Janet Jackson.

the theme song for the show is the paul mccartney song live and let die.
al parodied that song and turned it into chicken pot pie.

warren zevon did the song disorder in the house, which bruce springsteen also played on.
bruce springsteen was in the e street band with max weinberg.
max weinberg heads conan o brien's late night band, with jimmy vivino on guitar.
jimmy vivino is in a beatles tribute band with david letterman's bands bassist will lee.
will played onstage with paul mccartney during the concert for new york.
al parodied paul's song live and let die and turned it into chicken pot pie.

*(see? i could've done the obvious link through clarence clemmons, but figured i'd give a less obvious path)*

I may have found a connection for Al Stewart, but I don't know if it would count. OE, would you accept this one:

The Al Stewart song "Year of the Cat" appears on Dick Clark's All-Time Hits, Vol. 4. Dick Clark produced the Weird Al Show.
