Hollywood Romance
"Hollywood Romance" is a song written by Lynsey de Paul and David Jordan,[1] that was released as a single on Polydor Records on 20 October 1978.[2] The song name checked a number of classic era Hollywood movies such as King Kong, Last Tango in Paris, The African Queen, Citizen Kane and Tarzan[3] and was influenced by de Paul's move to California in the late 1970s to be with the actor James Coburn. The B-side to the "Hollywood Romance" single is a blues song that de Paul co-wrote with Coburn, entitled "Losin' The Blues For You".[4] Both songs were produced by Rupert Holmes and went on to appear as tracks on the 1979 album, Tigers and Fireflies, released by de Paul on Polydor in 1979.[5] Lena Zavaroni performed "Hollywood Romance" on episode 2 of her T.V. series "Lena Zavaroni and Music" in 1979.[6]
