Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Baby, baby, I've been so sad since you've been gone
Way back to New York City
Where you do belong
Honey, I missed your two tongue kisses
Legs wrapped around me tight
If I ever get back to Fun City, girl
I'm gonna make you scream all night
Honey, honey, call me on the telephone
I know you're movin' out to Hollywood
With your can of tasty foam
All those beat up friends of mine
Got to get you in their books
And lead guitars and movie stars
Get their toes beneath your hook

Yeah, you're a star fucker, star fucker, star fucker, star fucker, star
Yeah, a star fucker, star fucker, star fucker, star fucker, star
Star fucker, star fucker, star fucker, star fucker, star

Yeah, I heard about your Polaroids
Now that's what I call obscene
Your tricks with fruit was kind a cute
I bet you keep your pussy clean
Honey, I miss your two tone kisses
Legs wrapped around me tight
If I ever get back to New York, girl
Gonna make you scream all night

Yeah, you're a star fucker, star fucker, star fucker, star fucker, star
Yeah, a star fucker, star fucker, star fucker, star fucker, star
Star fucker, star fucker, star fucker, star fucker star
Yes you are, yes you are, yes you are

Yeah, Ali McGraw got mad with you
For givin' head to Steve McQueen
Yeah, you and me ,we made a pretty pair
Fallin' through the silver screen
Honey, I'm open to anythin'
I don't know where to draw the line
Yeah, I'm makin' bets that you gonna get
John Wayne before he dies

Yeah, you're a star fucker, star fucker, star fucker, star fucker, star
Yeah, a star fucker, star fucker, star fucker, star fucker, star
A star fucker, star fucker, star fucker, star fucker, star

Yes, you are a star fucker, star fucker, star fucker, star fucker, star (ah, yeah)
A star fucker, star fucker, star fucker, star fucker, star (ah, yeah)
A star fucker, star fucker, star fucker, star fucker, star

Yeah, a star fucker, star fucker, star fucker, star fucker, star (yes, you are)




Star fucker, star fucker, star fucker, star fucker
Star fucker, star fucker, star fucker, star, yes you are, yes you are

Overall Meaning

The Rolling Stones' song Star Star, which features Eric Clapton on guitar, is a vulgar and sexually explicit track that tells the story of a man's obsession with a woman who is a "star fucker," someone who sleeps with famous people. The song is full of references to sex, drugs, and rock and roll, painting a picture of a wild and decadent lifestyle.


The lyrics start with the singer lamenting the absence of the woman he desires, who has gone back to New York City. He longs for her two-tone kisses and wants to make her scream all night when he sees her again. He knows she is moving to Hollywood with her can of tasty foam, and he warns her that his friends, who are musicians and movie stars, will try to get her in their books.


The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "star fucker" four times, along with the word "star" which is repeated twelve times, underscoring the obsession with celebrity that permeates the song. The singer goes on to remark on the woman's explicit Polaroids, her tricks with fruit, and her clean pussy, all of which he finds obscene yet alluring. He even hints at a threesome he had with her and someone else, falling through the silver screen of the movies.


The song is a testament to the excesses of the rock and roll lifestyle in the 1970s, when the Rolling Stones were at the height of their fame. It is also a commentary on the objectification of women and the commodification of sex and fame.

It is truly amazing how the ultimate showman Mick Jagger is, dumbfounded by the ability of Clapton to take over an entire song by himself

@nedbeatysquealed69

The GOAT. He just drops in anywhere and amazes.

@colerainfan1143

Eric Clapton seems to be friends with absolutely everybody. What universal respect he receives from one and all.
