"Star Star" is a song by The Rolling Stones that appeared on their 1973 album Goats Head Soup. One of the raunchiest songs in the band's catalogue, the song was originally titled "Starfucker" until Atlantic Records guru Ahmet Ertegün (Atlantic was the distributor of Rolling Stones Records) insisted on the change. The song gained notoriety not only for explicit lyrics alluding to sex acts involving fruit (among other things) but also for controversial mentions of such celebrities as John Wayne and Steve McQueen. While discussing the song, the band members have always referred to the song by its original title. A live performance was captured and released on 1977's Love You Live.
"Star Star" is a simple, Chuck Berry-style rocker that slowly increases in momentum as the song progresses. The opening lick is played by Keith Richards and the rhythm guitar by Mick Taylor. Bill Wyman's bass line is postponed until the second verse.
