"Idol" to get "Stuck in the Middle" next week with Quentin Tarantino and the Music of the Movies

Adam Lambert's forgotten cameos in Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs
The closest I've ever gotten to watching a full season of American Idol was the third season, back when Sanjaya was pronounced Jon Peter Lewis and Jennifer Hudson was setting the foundation for her name being synonymous with losing a talent competition and going on to have a huge career anyway.
Back then, the series memorably had Quentin Tarantino appearing to mentor the finalists and perform as guest-judge when they sang songs from the movies. Next week, Tarantino returns to Idol to revisit the movie theme. It's a welcome return, especially considering that during his last visit we enjoyed the hilarity of Tarantino being censored for saying "effing".
Last week, Adam Lambert performed a version of Tears for Fears' "Mad World" that was used Donnie Darko, so with that possibility eliminated, what do you think Adam will perform?

Going from the moodiness of Donnie Darko, my mind leaps to Alfred Hitchock and the Oscar-winning song from The Man Who Knew Too Much, "Que Sera Sera". I'd love to see how he'd take out all traces of Doris Day out to put his voice into the song, but then again I go into each week's Idol hoping to see Adam re-invent "Ring of Fire" again.
What do you think? What movie tunes do you think would be a solid fit for Adam? Also, do you think anyone will try to upstage Lil and perform "We Don't Need Another Hero"?
