What are some songs about Hollywood?

What are some songs about Hollywood or the paparazzi? And please not Paparazzi by Lady Gaga?

[Securb]

The classic song about Hollywood is Rocket Man by Elton John and Bernie Taupin. The song revolves around the duo leaving England and finding themselves in the recording studios of Los Angeles making music and doing drugs.

Ironically the album it is on Honky Château was recorded in France.


Rocket Man - Elton John & Bernie Taupin

She packed my bags last night pre-flight
Zero hour nine a.m.
And I’m gonna be high as a kite by then (Drug reference)
I miss the earth so much I miss my wife
It’s lonely out in space
On such a timeless flight

And I think it’s gonna be a long long time
Till touch down brings me round again to find
I’m not the man they think I am at home (He is ashamed of the debauchery)
Oh no no no I’m a rocket man
Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone (another drug reference)


Mars ain’t the kind of place to raise your kids (Mars is a reference to L.A.)
In fact it’s cold as hell (The phony plastic people)
And there’s no one there to raise them if you did
And all this science I don’t understand (recording equipment)
It’s just my job five days a week
A rocket man, a rocket man


And I think it’s gonna be a long long time...

this might hurt, but I don't like VanHalen

[Gator]

Wow, I don't even know what to say. Not liking Halen with Roth, or with Hagar, but just throwing out a blanket statement like that...Wow.

don't get me wrong, the brothers Halen are masters of their craft and I completely respect and dig that. I will admit to liking Jump. but who doesn't?

HOWEVER

with all the front man drama I just got turned off. Roth is a showman (but can't sing for shit) and Hagar is a decent front man, so if I had to choose I'd pick Sammy for sure.

I was but a boy when Hair bands were all the rage, I grew up on Bob Seger and Bruce Springsteen, my parent's favorites. I will never forget the first time I heard Peter Frampton - Frampton comes alive.
