about

This is the album version of "Hollywood, Alabama." I never really liked the key it was in before. Truth is I wrote it before I actually knew what I was doing so I couldn't even tell you what key it was in but now I'm playing it in G and it's easier to sing and a lot more fun to play. It's kinda weird. I used the exact same drum track from the original, sang exactly the same lyrics and it sounds like a completely different song because of the different key. Has more of a country feel now... really, really loud country. I like really, really loud country.

lyrics

I wanna be a rock-n-roll star
Drive a phat a$$ car
Do a different starlet every night

I wanna hang with Fabio
and eat at Spago
Drink imported beer. I've got a right

I'll be an E! True Hollywood Story
Sell the house. I'm bound for glory
Think I'll learn to play guitar

I know they'll steal my porno movie
f***in' groovie
All the chickies are getting wet

I wanna be a rock-n-roll star
Drive a phat a$$ car
MTV with no regret

I wanna holiday in Aspen
Do some drugs and be a "has been"
Think I'll learn to play guitar

I'll be an E! True Hollywood Story
Sell the house. I'm bound for glory
I'll be an E! True Hollywood Story
I've got a lot going for me
yeah, yeah, yeah
