I dreamed I was in a Hollywood movie.
And that I was the star of the movie.
This really blew my mind.
The fact that me, an overfed longhaired leaping gnome
Should be the star of a Hollywood movie.

I stood high up on a mountain top
Naked to the world
In front of
Every kind of girl.
There was long ones, tall ones, short ones, brown ones,
Black ones, round ones, big ones, crazy ones.
Out of the middle came a lady.
She whispered in my ear

2. Eric Burdon is one of those performers who doesn’t pose when he sings. Stay with this song – or move the bar forward – to the 4:00 mark, and you’ll witness a singer singing with near-complete abandon.
