Boz Scaggs, "Hollywood"
Misheard Lyrics:
The way you read the crowd, the way you make them pay
You stepped in mid-scene a whole new way
No, I won't resist you now and even if I could
Hollywood just never sounded quite this good
I see your name lines, I see the same lines
It's in the cars and the wires
Broadway here she comes
You should be a natural though
Camera on, action, do it again
(Ooh, you know I gotta do it)
Barnaby, action, do it again
(Yeah, gonna make you strong)
Camera on, action, do it again
(Ooh, you know I gotta do it)
Barnaby, action, do it again
(Get you this far)
No one had to tell you what your smile is for
You sure there's not enough for me, no fancy floor.
Now she did this and she did that
You're all the ladies' talk
Now they long enough for you goes on, goes on
Holy Moses and Holy Moses
She's in the Times Square
Faster from the skies
Make you cheat immoral lies
(CHORUS)
They gave you 5 stars
It's into me-cars
It's into poor-divide
Who'll never be the same
You get in immoral game
(CHORUS repeat to end)
You stepped in mid-scene a whole new way
No, I won't resist you now and even if I could
Hollywood just never sounded quite this good
I see your name lines, I see the same lines
It's in the cars and the wires
Broadway here she comes
You should be a natural though
Camera on, action, do it again
(Ooh, you know I gotta do it)
Barnaby, action, do it again
(Yeah, gonna make you strong)
Camera on, action, do it again
(Ooh, you know I gotta do it)
Barnaby, action, do it again
(Get you this far)
No one had to tell you what your smile is for
You sure there's not enough for me, no fancy floor.
Now she did this and she did that
You're all the ladies' talk
Now they long enough for you goes on, goes on
Holy Moses and Holy Moses
She's in the Times Square
Faster from the skies
Make you cheat immoral lies
(CHORUS)
They gave you 5 stars
It's into me-cars
It's into poor-divide
Who'll never be the same
You get in immoral game
(CHORUS repeat to end)
Original Lyrics:
The way you read the crowd, the way you make them pay
You stepped in and did the scene a whole new way
No one would resist you now and even if they could
Hollywood just never had it quite this good
I see your name in lights, I see them standing in line
They send the cards and the wine
Broadway here she comes
You should be a natural
Camera, action, do it again
(Ooh, anyway I gotta do it)
What a reaction, do it again
(Yeah, gonna make you a star)
Camera, action, do it again
(Ooh, anyway I gotta do it)
What a reaction, do it again
(To get you this part)
No one had to tell you what your smile was for
You sure there's not an uncle name of Barrymore
Now she did this and she did that
You are the latest talk
Now there lining up for you around the block
Throwing roses and Holy Moses
Even the Times say
Sparks fell from the skies
That gets you immortalized
Camera, action, do it again
(Oh, anyway I gotta do it)
What a reaction, do it again
(Yeah, I'm gonna make you a star)
Camera, action, do it again
Ooh, anyway I gotta do it)
What a reaction, do it again
(To get you this part)
They gave you 5 stars, they're sending big cars
And Sunset Boulevard will never be the same
You give it a brand new name
Camera, action, do it again
(Ooh, anyway I gotta do it)
What a reaction, do it again
(Yeah, I'm gonna make you a star)
Camera, action, do it again
(Ooh, anyway I gotta do it)
What a reaction, do it again
(To get you this part)
Camera, action, do it again
(Ooh, anyway I gotta do it)
What a reaction, do it again
(To get you this part)
Camera, action, do it again
What a reaction, do it again
Camera, action, do it again
What a reaction, do it again
Camera, action, do it again
What a reaction, do it again

My best effort for misheard lyrics and favourite Boz Scaggs' song. Boz mumbles the words so well I was lucky to understand one line! But I love the rhythm and the beat!
