Star People (song)


"Star People '97" is a single by British singer George Michael, which was released as the fifth single from his album Older. It was written and performed by George Michael and was released by Virgin Records in the UK and DreamWorks Records in the US in 1997. "Star People '97" peaked at No. 2 in the United Kingdom and also No. 1 on the US Dance Club Songs chart. The song contains elements of The Gap Band's 1980 hit, "Burn Rubber on Me ".
"Star People" became George Michael's second of four No. 1 US Dance Club Songs chart singles, after "Monkey".
The lyrics make reference to the materialism and frivolity of certain people in show business, suggesting that those behaviours are derived from some insecurity or a bad childhood.
The single version is referred as "Star People '97" instead of "Star People" because the single version is a remixed and re-recorded track.
