De la ironía compasiva y benevolente del gran Ray Davies a la descarnada obscenidad de otros Brits, los Rolling Stones y su Star, Star (que originalmente se iba a titular Jode estrellas - Star Fucker) del álbum "Sopa de cabeza de cabra", que por cierto se reedita con extras y una edición muy lujosa en estos días. Un rua-can-rol canónico que podría firmar el mismo Chuck Berry que no deja de asombrarme la apelación directa a estrellas consagradas (John Wayne, Steve McQueen, Ali McGraw...) y su detallada descripción de las habilidades de su protagonista.

Baby, baby, I've been so sad since you've been gone
Way back to New York City
Where you do belong
Honey, I missed your two tongue kisses
Legs wrapped around me tight
If I ever get back to Fun City, girl
I'm gonna make you scream all night

Honey, honey, call me on the telephone
I know you're movin' out to Hollywood
With your can of tasty foam
All those beat up friends of mine
Got to get you in their books
And lead guitars and movie stars
Get their toes beneath your hook

Yeah, you're a star fucker, star fucker, star fucker, star fucker, star
Yeah, a star fucker, star fucker, star fucker, star fucker, star
Star fucker, star fucker, star fucker, star fucker, star

Yeah, I heard about you Polaroid's
Now that's what I call obscene
Your tricks with fruit was kind a cute
I bet you keep your pussy clean
Honey, I miss your two tone kisses
Legs wrapped around me tight
If I ever get back to New York, girl
Gonna make you scream all night

Yeah, you're a star fucker, star fucker, star fucker, star fucker, star
Yeah, a star fucker, star fucker, star fucker, star fucker, star
Star fucker, star fucker, star fucker, star fucker star
Yes you are, yes you are, yes you are

Yeah, Ali McGraw got mad with you
For givin' head to Steve McQueen
Yeah, you and me we made a pretty pair
Fallin' through the silver screen
Honey, I'm open to anythin'
I don't know where to draw the line
Yeah, I'm makin' bets that you gonna get
John Wayne before he dies

Yeah, you're a star fucker, star fucker, star fucker, star fucker, star
Yeah, a star fucker, star fucker, star fucker, star fucker, star
A star fucker, star fucker, star fucker, star fucker, star



No creo que se pudiera hacer una letra con ese nivel de literalidad hoy en día.

Hollywood ha sido motivo de inspiración para muchos temas y discos en el pop-rock, mucho de los cuales son auténticos clásicos y podrían figurar en cualquier lista (el Hollywood Night de Bob Seger, LA Woman, You´re so Vain, Steve McQueen...)
