Description
Another re-recording of a previous post. Again, the vocal tracks were cleaned up.
This song is a departure for me. My first foray into the art rock genre - a cabaret sort of rock song if you will. A fantasy piece: who hasn't wanted to be the femme fatale in a Hitchcockian noir. Ok, maybe it's just me.

Lyrics
Words and music by Charlie Chen
The camera zooms up close to the starlet's face
All teary eyes and pouty lips
It pans down to reveal a smoking gun
Her innocence betrayed by the cock of her hips
The blond boy is silent with mouth agape
Is he in love or in disgust?
Lit from above the camera adores his lines
His naked torso reveals his lust
Chorus:
Don't you just love a campy movie?
I wanna be in a campy movie
They clean up the blood and the soiled sheets
Just enough time for another quick tryst
Stabs of light bounce off prying mirrors
The sirens call, the scene fades to mist
Chorus repeat
“Ahh. I think I’m in a campy movie.
Substance? Nope. But it’s oh so stylish
A nice film noir with a naughty pink flourish
Silly dialogue and preposterous plots
I wanna cause a scene before I rot”
“Wake up!”
I want to wear that starlet's dress
Hold the gun and make a mess
Pout my lips and cock my hips
Speak the words from lousy scripts
Or make me the boy with stupidity to endure
Hunky and vapid and horny and pure
All muscles, teeth and rippling attitude
Easy to please and full of gratitude
Chorus repeat
The camera zooms up close to the starlet's face
All teary eyes and pouty lips
It pans down to reveal a smoking gun
Her innocence betrayed by the cock of her hips
The blond boy is silent with mouth agape
Is he in love or in disgust?
Lit from above the camera adores his lines
His naked torso reveals his lust
Chorus:
Don't you just love a campy movie?
I wanna be in a campy movie
They clean up the blood and the soiled sheets
Just enough time for another quick tryst
Stabs of light bounce off prying mirrors
The sirens call, the scene fades to mist
Chorus repeat
“Ahh. I think I’m in a campy movie.
Substance? Nope. But it’s oh so stylish
A nice film noir with a naughty pink flourish
Silly dialogue and preposterous plots
I wanna cause a scene before I rot”
“Wake up!”
I want to wear that starlet's dress
Hold the gun and make a mess
Pout my lips and cock my hips
Speak the words from lousy scripts
Or make me the boy with stupidity to endure
Hunky and vapid and horny and pure
All muscles, teeth and rippling attitude
Easy to please and full of gratitude
Chorus repeat
This is wonderful - well done, sir. It also sounds like you had a lot of fun
creating this, your enthusiasm shines through your singing and
arrangement.
