The Wallflowers feat. Mick Jones - Reboot The Mission
Former Clash member Mick Jones supplied vocals and guitar for this song,
which was made available for free on July 24, 2012. A number of critics
have compared the track's groove to that of Clash's 1981 single "The
Magnificent Seven."
"It would be preposterous for me to say ('Reboot the Mission') doesn't sound like the Clash. That was our intent. I even mention Joe Strummer in the song," Dylan told Billboard magazine. "So we thought, 'Let's take it all the way home and see if we can't get Mick to participate somehow. I've met him a handful of times throughout the years and just saw him when he played in L.A. with Big Audio Dynamite...so he was fresh on my mind. He mentioned doing something together, so I just called and he was into it."

Julian Casablancas - 11th Dimension
The song's music video was directed by Warren Fu, a former LucasArts art
director who previously helmed an alternate clip for the Strokes' "You Only Live Once." It was inspired by the Bruce Lee movie Game of Death, which was released in 1978.
Jewel - Hands
At a February 2008 concert in Las Vegas, Jewel explained that when she
was 18, she was living in a van and did some shoplifting. She was going
to take a dress when she looked at her hands and realized that she
controlled them. Said Jewel, "I realized I was cheating myself. No
matter how you work with your hands your own dignity is up to you."

Edith Piaf - Non, Je ne regrette rien
Edith Piaf decided to retire in 1960. A few months later, she was
persuaded to make a comeback by Charles Dumont and Michel Vaucaire, two
young French songwriters, who had written the song "Non, Je Ne Regrette
Rien." At first she refused to see them or take their song seriously.
Dumont recalls in The Daily Express, June 30, 2007, "When I
started playing the piano, Piaf's attitude changed immediately. She made
me play it over and over again, maybe 5 or 6 times. She said that it
was magnificent, wonderful. That it was made for her."
