Frode Unneland is one of Norway's best drummers known from the Bergen music scene as drummer with Chocolate Overdose and Popium. He has also drummed for Norwegian pop sensation Sondre Lerche.

4) Savoy, a Romanian band, active during the Communist regime and sponsored by the Union of Young Communists. It was supposed to be the rival of dissident rock bands like Phoenix and Sfinx, it got a lot of media support. Jokes about the leader of the band concern his cheap imitation of the Dire Straits vestimentation and garments. Savoy sounded more folky and progressive rather than hard or heavy.

You're such a star, baby
I go crazy with the things you do
Can't I be you?
If I say I do, you will say you don't
If I say I will, you will say you won't
If I ask you out, I know you won't come
I, I go crazy with the way you are
You're such a star, baby
I go crazy with the things you do
Can't I be you?
And if I call you up, you are not alone
If I stay too late, you won't drive me home
If I ask you out, I know you won't come
I'm not stupid, baby
I, I go crazy with the way you are
You're such a star, baby
I go crazy with the things you do
Can't I be you?

I, I go crazy with the things you do, yeah
Can't I be you?
I, I go crazy with the way you are
You're such a star, baby
I go crazy with the things you do, yeah
Can't I be you?
I'm not stupid, baby
I'm not stupid, baby
I'm not stupid, baby
In Savoy's song "Star," the singer expresses their admiration for someone else, whom they consider a star. The singer goes crazy with the way that this person is, with the things they do, and they ask if they can be like this person. The singer seems to feel that this person is out of their league, and they feel rejected by them. The person they admire seems to be playing games with them, and the singer recognizes this. The singer is not stupid, and they see through this person's behavior.
The lyrics of this song reflect a feeling of inferiority and inadequacy that many people experience when they are around someone they admire. The images of "going crazy" and wanting to be like someone else suggest that the singer feels overwhelmed by this person's perceived greatness. Likewise, the repeated refrain of "I'm not stupid, baby" suggests that the singer is self-conscious and aware of their own shortcomings.
In conclusion, "Star" is a song about the way envy and admiration can make us feel small and powerless. Through its lyrics, the song communicates the idea that we often put other people on a pedestal, and that this can lead to feelings of isolation and inadequacy. At the same time, the song also demonstrates the importance of self-awareness and self-respect, as the singer tries to maintain their dignity in the face of rejection.
