Hollywood Wax

Post by rone rivendale »

Possibly but not 100% for sure the lyrics for my entry :P


You think you're the bomb
But you're really just a disaster
You think you matter
But you're just here for our laughter

So vain so arrogant
You lost control of reality long ago

Hollywood wax
You are the fakest people in the whole wide world
Hollywood wax
Just because you can act doesn't mean I care

You donate a million
But why not two I know you have it
You adopt african babies
But what about the orphans here

So conceeded so holier than thou
You lost control of reality long ago

Hollywood wax
You are the fakest people in the whole wide world
Hollywood wax
Just because you can act doesn't mean I care

Holly wood
Is the capital of the world
Just ask the people in it
They will tell you
And then get in their limo and leave you
Because you don't really matter to them
But guess what Hollywood
We don't really care about you either
If we had better things to do we wouldn't even watch you
But we like to laugh at you, like you are a clown
And there's nothing superior about a clown
No offense to the clowns
From spoken word to actual singing, I can screw up any style with style. :D

TBH, I had to google the title to be 100% sure of it's meaning :lol:

Hollywood Wax

In this town it's sink or swim
People will do anything
Success lies on the casting couch
So let loose in that posing pouch

Get acquainted with the bare facts
Smarten up those intimate acts
And get yourself a Hollywood wax
In Hollywood

Who wants to see all that hair?
When you've stripped off your underwear
You don't want to be hirsute
While wearing your birthday suit

Take a little time to relax
If you want a thrilling climax
Get yourself a Hollywood wax
In Hollywood

Hollywood Wax

chorus:
I lit a fire in the wax museum
I wanna watch all the figures collapse
I always do what the voices tell me
I'm gonna burn down Hollywood Wax

Marylin Monroe looks ecstatic
as the flames shoot up her dress
The Duke doesn't look concerned
as he watches Buddy Holly burn

The Three Stooges have it coming
Superman is kind of a dick
Jimmy Stewart didn't really deserve it
But the lighter fluid's still gonna do the trick


Goodbye, Alfred Hitchcock. So long, Orson Welles. Farewell, Harrison Ford. Barbra Streisand, I'll see you in hell.

Hollywood Wax

By Steve Durand

I've played in every jazz club
On the whole gulf coast
Just trying to make the music
That I love the most

But when it comes to making records
California's where it's at
So I'm on the move to cut a groove
In Hollywood wax

It's near the intersect
Of Hollywood and Vine
It looks just like a great big stack
Of forty-fives

I'm walking in the front door
And I won't be looking back
'Cause you're in the dark 'till you make your mark
In Hollywood wax

You'd think that it should be enough
To play and sing
But unrecorded music
Is a fleeting thing

I'll ensure its preservation
By laying down a track
And achieve some immortality
In Hollywood wax

I see many interpretations of Hollywood Wax. Grouped among those already presented, mine is not original.

Hollywood Wax
-----------------------------------------------------
She signed the deal at the age of twenty-one
That said she'd have to reveal it all for everyone
It's not that it wasn't fair
It's just that I wasn't there to see her
Fall flat on her face
And make such a lovely disgrace of herself

Collect up cash for a cab and head to Hollywood
Put all this out of my head oh yeah, I guess I should
Take me down to the boulevard
From here it isn't that far and I know
It's a different crowd she attracts
Now that her body's been cast as the star

Of the Hollywod Wax Museum

Ohhh, cheese muffin!

Hollywood Wax
by Berkeley Social Scene


Stars in their eyes
A prayer on their lips
They come from all around
A taste for the (Sunset) Strip

A bitter pill, a cold embrace
From the valley to the hills - false face
It's Hollywood wax

A sparkle on her cheek
A prayer on her lips
From a quiet mid-west town
A taste for the Strip

A bitter pill, a cold embrace
From the valley to the hills - false face
It's Hollywood wax

Wax. It's Hollywood wax
Some thing...
Some thin Walk of Fame

A bitter pill, a cold embrace
From the valley to the hills - false face
It's Hollywood wax

:P :oops: :mrgreen:

Hollywood Wax
by Ross Durand

I should never have looked closer - ‘cause that’s when the illusion fades away
And things we left unsaid turned out be the most important things to say
And I guess you coulda told me - but then again I never asked
You’re nothing but smoke and mirrors - and Hollywood wax

And I shoulda seen this comin’
Too good to be true
Like Pygmalion at Madame Tussaud’s
There is no real you

And I should never wake up - ‘cause that’s how the dream always ends
And the life of a pretender is only as good as he pretends
So I pretended that I loved you and now it’s too late to take it back
You’re nothin’ smoke and mirrors - and Hollywood wax

And it breaks my heart to see you melt away like that
But if I would have looked closer
I’d have seen that you were just made of Hollywood wax.

Hollywood Wax - Elaine DiMasi
drums and bass from Jeff Keister
"phone call" from jeff robertson


you have been appointed to make a special trip
a Venice Beach fantasy, a once-in-a-lifetime man
and when you hit the landing strip, the baggage that you have feels
light as a feather - but it's still studded leather

it's a top secret mission to do what satisfies him
a James Bond romance to tell just the right lies in
to go for the prize in
it's right between your - well no -
it's still on the horizon

you wanted him to show you Hollywood
he cut that short and he left you alone
you weren't invited on his other business
he's in Campinas, not answering the phone

you had a Venice Beach fantasy
you may be confronting some facts:
you wanted this to be beautiful
he wasn't interested without the hot wax

a top secret mission to be what satisfies
something needs revision tell yourself more lies

"Hey baby! Yeah, the weather in 'Campinas' is beautiful, too.
Now you know I'm gonna be tied up for a few days.
Gotta run. Have a good time."


we don't know what you'll do next
the story is yours to write
you'll probably turn your phone back on
so you can book another flight

you could go to Campinas, you could go home too
it's up to you, it's up to you

you wanted to see Hollywood
he went off to Brazil
you wanted to find happiness
he had that in a pill
you had a Venice Beach fantasy
but now you have the facts
you wanted this to be beautiful
he suggested hot wax

you wanted to be beautiful
without the hot wax

How they're written, not necessarily how they're performed...

Hollywood Wax

With a wavering eye she looked out at the room
The gaping maw in the past had consumed-
her like a flickering light blown out against the wall
but tonight she was determinied to answer the call

She got a Hollywood Wax
It's built up her self-esteem
She's got a Hollywood Wax
She's feeling healthy and clean
She's got a Hollywood Wax
There's no denying the facts
She hasn't taken xanax since her Hollywood Wax

She wore a miniskirt smile and a fishnet smirk
that made her inner wallflower do the clean and jerk
She hesitated a bit but she knew it wouldn't last
She'd seen movies like this ad she knew how she was cast

Like Britney Spears and Linsay Lohan
Like Sharon Stone but not Erin Moran
Her newfound freedom would be something to see
If you check out wikipedia you'll see what I mean
