Hollywood (Extended Version)

[The Robman]

I've seen a lot of people who got used to the single version of Hollywood complain that they don't like the album version because they're used to the chorus coming in where the "air hostesses" verse comes in, so I decided to make an extended version which is based on the album version but starts off like the single version. This version clocks in at 4:21 so it might be more Hollywood than you need, but you heard it here first.

Well the version that I have in my PC she doesn't say "anything for a dime", it's really strange.
Is this the album version?

The first part of the song comes from the single version, that's why it goes into the chorus rather than the "air hostesses" verse, but then I had it go into the album version after that first chorus.

I don't mind if you download it.

Definitely a bit more chorus than I'm used to, but it's always interesting to hear different edits of the songs.

That's really cool
Just, when the bit from the first verse comes in after the first chorus there is a bit of overlap where you can hear her singing 'a' or something...

Yeah, I know, what you're hearing is the beginning of the "American dream is the American queen" line (from closer to the end of the song) because that version of the chorus was easier to use than the one which goes into the "fat security" part.

I tried some other approaches after the one on youtube, but haven't found the right mix yet.

One thing I did do on the later version, which I think is pretty cool, is to replace the "he said "Oh my god, you look just like Shakira, No no, you're Catherine Zeta" lines with three repeats of "he said "Oh my god" because that verse gets old after a while.
