About The Song
Remember those Saturday nights, back when disco ruled the airwaves and every beat pulsed with an irresistible energy? We’d slip into our finest threads, platform shoes clicking a rhythm on the sidewalk, and head out to lose ourselves in a kaleidoscope of lights and movement. Well, tonight, let’s revisit that feeling with a classic from the golden age of disco – Living Like a Moviestar by Boney M.
Released in 1984, Living Like a Moviestar isn’t quite the disco anthem of the late 70s, but it captures that same infectious spirit with a touch of 80s pop sensibility. Boney M., a legendary Eurodisco group, was known for their catchy tunes, flamboyant costumes, and energetic performances. They brought a touch of Caribbean flair to the disco scene, and Living Like a Moviestar is no exception.
The song paints a picture of a world where fame and fortune grant a life of luxury. The lyrics speak of “kings and queens” living in a world of extravagance, where “the whole world’s crying whenever they cry.” It’s a world of glamour and adoration, a world that beckons with the promise of escape from the ordinary. But is it all it’s cracked up to be? Living Like a Moviestar doesn’t delve too deeply into that question. Instead, it invites us to suspend disbelief, put on our dancing shoes, and revel in the fantasy for a while.
So, dig out your old disco ball, crank up the volume, and let Boney M. transport you to a world of champagne wishes and caviar dreams. Living Like a Moviestar is a reminder that life can be a dance floor, and sometimes all we need is a catchy tune and a little imagination to find our own stardust.
