Lyrics
Starlight open wide, starlight open up your door
Invoking starlight metaphorically, inviting opportunities or possibilities to unfold
This is New York calling with movies from the street
Announcing a message from New York, likening it to a movie scene from the streets
Movies with real people, what you get is what you see
Highlighting reality in the movies depicted - real people as they are, no pretense
Starlight open wide, Andy's Cecil B. DeMille
Referencing Andy Warhol as a significant figure in filmmaking, paralleling him with a renowned director
Come on L. A. give us a call
Calling out Los Angeles for attention and collaboration
We've got superstars who talk, they'll do anything at all
Boasting about having celebrities who are willing to do anything for the movies
Ingrid, Viva, Little Joe, Baby Jane, and Edie S.
Mentioning notable personalities associated with Andy Warhol's circle
But you better call us soon before we talk ourselves to death
Urging prompt action before losing the chance due to excessive talk
Starlight open wide everybody is a star
Declaring everyone as a potential star in this context
Split screen 8-hour movies
Describing the format of the movies - split-screen with lengthy duration
We've got color we've got sound
Emphasizing the movie's technological aspects - color and sound
Won't you recognize us, we're everything you hate
Challenging the audience's perceptions, asserting their defiance and encompassing what's detested
Andy loves old Hollywood movies, he'll scare you hypocrites
Andy Warhol's fondness for old Hollywood movies and a possible intent to shock hypocrites
to death
Possibly emphasizing the intensity or impact of Andy's approach
You know that shooting up's for real
Addressing the reality of drug use, its authenticity in portrayal
That person who's screaming, that's the way he really feels
Asserting genuineness in emotional expression, not a pretense
We're all improvising, five movies in a week
Emphasizing the spontaneous nature of their work, creating multiple movies in a short period
If Hollywood doesn't call us - we'll be sick
Expressing a desperate desire for Hollywood's recognition
Starlight open wide
Repeating the earlier invitation for inclusivity in the realm of stardom
Do to movies what you did to art
Challenging the norms, suggesting to revolutionize movies just as art has been transformed
Can you see beauty in ugliness, or is it playing in the dirt
Questioning perception and appreciation - finding beauty in the unconventional or gritty
There are stars out on the New York streets
Noting the presence of potential stars on New York's streets
We want to capture them on film
Expressing a desire to capture these stars' essence on film
But if no one wants to see them
Contemplating making more movies if the initial ones aren't appreciated
We'll make another and another
Committing to persistence in creating films regardless of reception
Starlight let us in that magic room
Appealing to the mystical or magical aspect of filmmaking for entry or success
We've all dreamt of Hollywood, it can't happen too soon
Expressing dreams of achieving Hollywood success
Won't you give us a million dollars the rent is due
Seeking financial support to continue their artistic endeavors
Andy will give you 2 movies and a painting
Suggesting a barter - movies and art in exchange for monetary support
Starlight open wide!
Reiterating the invitation to embrace opportunities or possibilities
