"Moviestar" (also released as "Movie Star") is a song written and recorded by Swedish singer-songwriter Harpo. Following two hit singles on Tio i Topp, Harpo wrote the song while sitting in his window, dedicating it to a friend of his that had aspirations of becoming an actor. "Moviestar" tells the story of an individual who believes they are an A-list actor in the league of Steve McQueen and James Dean, when instead it is revealed that they have only acted in television advertisement. It makes multiple references to popular culture, including movie producer Ingmar Bergman.

  • Moviestar är en sång skriven och inspelad av den svenske artisten Harpo och som finns i både engelskspråkig och svenskspråkig version. Singeln producerades och arrangerades av Bengt Palmers. Bakgrundskören utgörs av Annifrid Lyngstad och Lena Ericsson. Låten blev en världshit och toppade singellistorna i Norge, Schweiz, Sverige, Västtyskland och Österrike. Den 10 juli 1976 gick den svenskspråkiga versionen, också med titeln Moviestar, högst upp i topp på Svensktoppen. Låten handlar om en person som tror sig vara en stor stjärna, men som i själva verket bara medverkat i en TV-reklam. (sv)
