Song request: "You are what you say you are, a shooting star"?

[alkemyst]

We were talking about this song...we don't know who sings it. It's in rotation now on 'top 40' stations but we have no access from the office here.

 

[BigToque]

The first thing that came to mind was "Everything" by Michael Buble.

The words you've quoted are not in this song though, so I'm probably wrong.

If you are what you say you are a superstar....

uh, it made me think of the lyrics to 'Bad Company''s "Shooting Star"
:music:

Johnny died one night, died in his bed, Bottle of whiskey,
sleeping tablets by his head. Johnny's life passed him by like a
warm summer day, If you listen to the wind you can still hear him play

Oh oh oh, Don't you know that you are a shooting star,
Don't you know, yeah, don't you know', Don't you know that
you are a shooting star,
Don't you know, yeah,
Don't you know that you are a shooting star,
Don't you, don't you,
don't you, don't you,
Don't you know, don't you
know, oh, yeah, you are,
Yeah, a shooting star, yeah, oh
oh oh oh oh......
Don't you, don't you know
that you are a shooting star,
Don't you don't you know......

:music:

but that is an old song

superstar by Lupe Fiasco was it.

I could have told them the song if I had the right lyrics. I like that song too.

They want to request it...I told them they play it about every hour already

Better "shooting star" song:

Elliott Smith - Shooting Star

You?ll make the scene
like you always do
Going upstream
down the avenue
To fuck some trophy boy
that you'll win tonight at the bar
So bad, so far
you?ll make him sad
shooting star

When it was me
I was momentarily proud
Drunk on dreams
I?m glad I didn't say out loud
You said you'd be for real
but I don't think that you are
So bad, so far
you make me sad
shooting star

You're distant & cold
a sight to behold
everybody just sighs

But nobody gets on
with you very long
because you don't feel bad
when you lie

I?m going to sleep
going back first to square one
Square two
will be where I can deal
with the shit
you've just done
It won't be soon
to say the least
it's going to be hard
So bad, so far
your love is sad
shooting star
Your love is sad
shooting star

Listen to the intro. Amazing. And this is one of his lesser known songs. I can't believe the shlock that passes for music today, and guys like this don't get their due.
