Peeta: Bryan Adams' "(Everything I Do) I Do It For You" Peeta is a sensitive soul, so we have no doubt his performance number would be some sort of ballad. This mellow jam from the "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves" soundtrack perfectly sums up the baker boy's feelings for his fellow District 12 tribute. We can already see Katniss perched on a stool as Peeta croons to her like a dystopian Backstreet Boy. Swoon!
Gale: Police's "Every Breath You Take" As deep as Gale's affections run for Katniss, he's powerless to help her once she's stepped foot inside the deadly arena. All he can do is watch the televised death match unfold on the Jumbotron — a sentiment perfectly expressed in this 1983 hit. "Every breath you take / And every move you make / Every bond you break, every step you take / I'll be watching you." Yep, sounds like Gale.
Haymitch: Jamie Foxx's "Blame It (On the Alcohol)" A no-brainer for Panem's most infamous drunk, right? Just blame it on the a-a-a-a-a-alcohol!
Effie: Diana Ross' "Theme From Mahogany (Do You Know Where You're Going To?)" Sure, the lyrics don't really resonate with our idea of the District 12 mentor, but we know how much she adores the luxury hardwood...
Special Guest President Snow: Seal's "Kiss From a Rose" The dictator of the districts would never deign to join the Mockingjays as a full-fledged member, but there's no denying he would use a guest appearance to spread his propaganda. President Snow is never without is rot-ridding rose boutonniere, so it only stands to reason he'd happily sing its praises.
