Moviestar

About Moviestar

"Moviestar" is a popular 1975 song, written and performed by Swedish pop singer Harpo. The single was produced and arranged by Bengt Palmers. It reached number 1 in Sweden, Norway, Austria, Switzerland and Germany, number 3 in Australia, number 9 in New Zealand, number 13 in Ireland and number 24 in the UK. A Swedish language version was also released in Sweden which went to number 1 on the Svensktoppen radio chart on 10 July 1976. Anni-Frid Lyngstad of ABBA was one of the backing vocalists singing the words "Moviestar, oh Moviestar, ooh". The song was covered by the French-German duo Stereo Total on their 1995 release Oh Ah! and used on the soundtrack to the romantic comedy movie The Tao of Steve (2000). The German synthpop band And One covered it on their 1997 album Nordhausen. In 1984 the Spanish singer Miguel Gallardo made a new adaptation. He called the song "Tu Amante o Tu Enemigo". The lyrics have nothing to do with the original in English but retain the melody. The song was used in Nissan commercials on the Swedish TV Channel TV4 in 1996 and 1997. more »

You feel like Steve McQueen
When you're driving in your car.
And you think you're a new James Bond
When you're smokin' your cigar.

It's so bizarre.

You think you are a new kind of James Dean
But the only thing I've ever seen from you
Was a commercial spot
On the TV screen.

But he wasn't there or just don't care.
I think you should stop pretending
That you are a
