So You Want to Be a Rock 'n' Roll Star Lyrics
So you you want to be a rock´n roll star
then listen now to what I say
Just get an electric guitar
and take some time and learn how to play
And when your hair's combed right and your pants fit tight
it´s gonna be all right
Then it´s time to go down town
where the agent men won´t let you down
Sell your soul to the company
who are waiting there to sell plastic ware
And in a week or two if you make the charts
the girls'll tear you apart
The price you pay for your riches and fame
Was it all a strange game
You´re a little insane
The money that came and the public acclaim
Don´t forget what you are
You´re a rock´n roll star
then listen now to what I say
Just get an electric guitar
and take some time and learn how to play
And when your hair's combed right and your pants fit tight
it´s gonna be all right
where the agent men won´t let you down
Sell your soul to the company
who are waiting there to sell plastic ware
And in a week or two if you make the charts
the girls'll tear you apart
Was it all a strange game
You´re a little insane
The money that came and the public acclaim
Don´t forget what you are
You´re a rock´n roll star

Making fun of the Monkees.
This song, like the title says, is about being a rock'n'roll star. Its kinda saying that once you get there, there are people trying to get you to "sell out". I think its saying that people become stars for the wrong reasons sometimes, when it should be all about the music. Don´t forget what you are You´re a rock´n roll star
Classical Moments!
Goof on the Monkees like Wolf says. The screaming was a tape Roger made of the crowd when the Beatles played at the Hollywood Bowl.
