Singer and Moviestar.... Ivan Herb
"Moviestar" is a song written and recorded by Swedish singer-songwriter Harpo. Following two hit singles on Tio i Topp, Harpo wrote the song while sitting in his window, dedicating it to a friend of his that had aspirations of becoming an actor. "Moviestar" tells the story of an individual who believes they are an A-list actor in the league of Steve McQueen and James Dean, when instead it is revealed that they have only acted in a television advertisement. It makes multiple references to popular culture, including movie producer Ingmar Bergman.
You feel like Steve McQueen when you're driving in your car
and you think you look like James Bond when you're smoking your cigar.
It's so bizarre, you think you are a new kind of James Dean.
But the only thing I' ve ever seen of you was the commercial spot on the screen.
Movie star, oh movie star,
you think you are a movie,
movie star, oh movie star,
you think you are a movie star.
You should belong to the jet-set, fly your own private Learjet.
But you worked in a grocery store every day until you could afford to get away.
So you went to Sweden to meet Ingmar Bergman, he wasn't there or he just didn't care.
I think it's time for you, my friend, to stop pretending that you are a
Movie star, oh movie star,
you think you are a movie,
movie star, oh movie star,
you think you are a movie star.
Frozen hero, your words are zero
and your dreams have vanished into the dark
a long time ago but you will want to know.
Movie star, oh movie star,
you think you are a movie,
Movie star, oh movie star,
you think you are a movie,
movie star, oh movie star,
you think you are a movie star.
