Bar Star
Kudu Lyrics

He got a rhinestone rocketship and disco balls, leaves glitter ont he shitter when duty calls, what's cookin' good lookin' no he ain't shy, down in your kitchen finger-lickin' in your hot pink pie, he's a bar star baby, how do we harness his energy, he's a bar star baby, shine your light on me
The bar star has flashy decorations and isn't hesitant to get down and dirty in the kitchen. He is highly energetic and captivating, but the real challenge is finding a way to channel his energy. The singer seeks to bask in the bar star's glory and light.

Beneath the bar is a love bazaar and at the center of the action, you will find the bar star, got those planets in orbit some near some far, got those bodies inmotion 'round and 'round the bar star, in elliptical patterns hang onto your pride, it's a cosmic wonder how they never collide, he's a bar star baby.....
The space beneath the bar is a vibrant and exciting place, and the bar star is what makes it all happen. People move in and out of the bar star's influence, some nearer than others, but all beholden to his magnetic presence. There is a sense of cosmic wonder in how everything manages to work seamlessly despite the chaos.

He's the king king king of the party scene, lipstick stains all over his jeans, he's thebar star baby 'til it all implodes, watch out girl you're headed for a black hole...aaaaah!!!! super cool super cool super cool, dancin' fool, dancin' fool, aha push it, in the bathroom, aha push it, in the basement, aha push it, don't come too soon, aha push it, she's your replacment.
The bar star is the pinnacle of party culture, embodying every wild and crazy aspect of it. He's so in-demand that it's only a matter of time before the whole thing blows up, and anyone caught up in his hype risks getting sucked in too deep. Despite it all, he remains effortlessly cool and a master of dance-floor seduction.

Workin' hard, sweatin' hard, go back to the bar, you don't have to pay, you got the part got the part, don't they know who you are? oh fuck it go find some cocaine.
The bar star is constantly working to maintain his reputation, sweating it out behind the bar or on the dance floor, but he knows he's already achieved a level of fame that gets him through the door without having to pay. Despite his success, he's always looking for the next rush and often turns to drugs to get there.

Did he shine his light on you tonight? no, cuz he's a bar star baby, a gilded ray straight thru your atmosphere, a barstar baby, go on girl mix it with a salty tear, he's a bar Star baby, he's a bar star baby, didn't you know? He's all about chasing that rainbow.
The bar star's light is so bright that it can't possibly shine on everyone. Those who do catch his attention are bathed in a golden glow that mixes with their tears, as they realize that the bar star's magic will always be just out of reach. The bar star himself is always chasing after something bigger and better, never content to simply rest on his laurels.

Did you ever wonder why they call it the Big Apple?
The singer asks a rhetorical question about the origin of the nickname for New York City.

Why, they invite, you, to take a bite, you, ought to know by now
The singer suggests that the reason for the nickname is obvious; the city is inviting you to take a bite out of life and experience all it has to offer.

Alluring Evelyn came in late 1803, And started a temple of love on 142 Bond st., And it branched from there, This naughty apple tree, Its roots took hold, In this decadent city
The Big Apple's roots lie in the establishment of a brothel by a woman named Evelyn in the early 19th century. From there, the city's seedier side began to flourish and expand throughout the metropolis.

Sex, sex, politics dirty deeds, dirty tricks, Sex, sex, politics, NYC needs a fix
The artist highlights the connections between sex work and politics, suggesting that they are both corrupt and in need of reform.

Ho, hey, an apple a day, The Cortland marketing board tried to tuck it away, My, my, American as apple pie, If you believe all that, you believe in a lie
Playing on the popular saying 'an apple a day keeps the doctor away,' the artist alludes to the attempts by the Cortland apple marketing board to suppress knowledge of New York's 'biggest tree,' and suggests that the image of America as wholesome and clean is a false one.

Its the biggest tree covered in golden leaves, You might be surprised at how far the branches reach, Have you been put on Earth to take a bite, To feed your need from the tree of life? Than come to the Big Apple and stay for a while
The Big Apple is presented as a massive, fruitful tree with far-reaching branches that offers a taste of life's pleasures. With a rhetorical question, the singer invites listeners to consider their purpose and urges them to satisfy their desires by visiting the city.
