Lyrically Speaking - 1/13/21

Each of the following songs below mentions the name of an actor or actress somewhere in the lyrics. You get a bonus point for listing each name-dropped actor. Please note that a couple of these songs mention multiple famous people, including a few who did some acting, but their work in front of the camera isn't what they're best known for. I want the actor!
1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist, 1 point for the actor or actress mentioned in each song...
1. This grips me more than would a
Muddy old river or reclining Buddha
2. They crawled out of the woodwork
And they whispered into your brain
They set you on the treadmill
And they made you change your name
3. Stop
Wait a minute
Fill my cup put some liquor in it
4. I stumble into town
Just like a sacred cow
Visions of swastikas in my head
5. You're one of those guys who likes to shine his machine
You make me take off my shoes before you let me get in
6. Different types
Who wear a daycoat
Pants with stripes
And cutaway coat
Perfect fits
7. Hey shout, summertime blues
Jump up and down
In my blue suede shoes
8. She still lives with her mom outside the city
Down that street about a half a mile
And all her friends tell her she`s so pretty
But she`d be a whole lot prettier
If she smiled once in a while
9. He tells me in his bedroom voice
Come on honey, let's go make some noise
10. Cuddle up, baby, move in tight
We'll go dancing tomorrow night
It's cold out there, but it's warm in bed
They can dance, well stay home instead
11. You say Rolls, I say Royce
You say God, give me a choice
You say Lord, I say Christ
I don`t believe in Peter Pan
Frankenstein or Superman
12. How can I save my little boy
From Oppenheimer's deadly toy?
There is no monopoly of common sense
On either side of the political fence
