Everybodys a dreamer and everybodys a star,
And everybodys in movies, it doesnt matter who you are.
There are stars in every city,
In every house and on every street,
And if you walk down hollywood boulevard
Their names are written in concrete!

Dont step on greta garbo as you walk down the boulevard,
She looks so weak and fragile thats why she tried to be so hard
But they turned her into a princess
And they sat her on a throne,
But she turned her back on stardom,
Because she wanted to be alone.

You can see all the stars as you walk down hollywood boulevard,
Some that you recognise, some that youve hardly even heard of,
People who worked and suffered and struggled for fame,
Some who succeeded and some who suffered in vain.
Rudolph valentino, looks very much alive,
And he looks up ladies dresses as they sadly pass him by.
Avoid stepping on bela lugosi
cos he's liable to turn and bite,
But stand close by bette davis
Because hers was such a lonely life.
If you covered him with garbage,
George sanders would still have style,
And if you stamped on mickey rooney
He would still turn round and smile,
But please dont tread on dearest marilyn
cos shes not very tough,
She should have been made of iron or steel,
But she was only made of flesh and blood.

You can see all the stars as you walk down hollywood boulevard,
Some that you recognise, some that youve hardly even heard of.
People who worked and suffered and struggled for fame,
Some who succeeded and some who suffered in vain.

Everybodys a dreamer and everybodys a star
And everybodys in show biz, it doesnt matter who you are.

And those who are successful,
Be always on your guard,
Success walks hand in hand with failure
Along hollywood boulevard.

I wish my life was a non-stop hollywood movie show,
A fantasy world of celluloid villains and heroes,
Because celluloid heroes never feel any pain
And celluloid heroes never really die.

You can see all the stars as you walk along hollywood boulevard,
Some that you recognise, some that youve hardly even heard of,
People who worked and suffered and struggled for fame,
Some who succeeded and some who suffered in vain.

Oh celluloid heroes never feel any pain
Oh celluloid heroes never really die.

I wish my life was a non-stop hollywood movie show,
A fantasy world of celluloid villains and heroes,
Because celluloid heroes never feel any pain
And celluloid heroes never really die.





In popular culture, 15 minutes of fame refers to a sudden state of celebrity that does not persist long enough to substantially affect the new celebrity's life.

The expression is a paraphrase of Andy Warhol's statements, in 1968 that "In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes", and in 1979 "...my prediction from the sixties finally came true: In the future everyone will be famous for fifteen minutes."

Warhol's statement was based in his interest in fame and famous people. His view of the media was that they could enable any person to become famous. The rise of reality television shows has given new meaning to Warhol's "15 minutes" quote.

Becoming bored with continually being asked about this particular statement, Warhol deliberately tried to confuse interviewers by changing the statement to:

In the future 15 people will be famous.
and

In 15 minutes everybody will be famous.
It may be true that the rise and fall of short-term celebrities is faster with modern communication, but celebrity was often short-lived even when communication was much slower.

In 1986, Warhol had a short-lived MTV television series, Andy Warhol's 15 Minutes.

The title of the 2001 film 15 Minutes is a reference to this quotation, as is the title of the Touched by an Angel episode The Sixteenth Minute.

Author/Adult Entertainer Benjamin Nicholas based his popular online blog 15 Minutes... after the Warholian phrase as well.

The Sugar Ray album 14:59 was named to refute claims the band would be a one-hit wonder, by saying their 15 minutes weren't quite up.

Great explanation. Thanks.
I never had understood Warhol's statement properly...

I am okay.
Full of love, like you

I agree. Elvis is the biggest redneck of all times.

Bush, well, I have two guesses about him:
He is the coolest white man I ever met (look his face, quite peacefull) or that is an expression of total stupidity?
