(Land of stardust land of glamour)
(Hollywood Hollywood)
Land of stardust and land of glamour
Vistavision and cinerama
Everyone considers it a must
To get to Hollywood or bust
Kids from Kansas to Pennsylvania
Soon develop that movie mania
Driving their jalopies through the dust
And out to Hollywood or bust
Underneath that moonlight in Malibu
Lovers stroll in the dark
Jeepers creepers ten to one sleepers are winning at Hollywood Park
Land of burgers and land or weenies
Bathing beauties in their bikinis
Mingle with the lower upper crust
You'll see your favorite dolly out and jolly
Hollywood or bust
(Sound the trumpets strike the cymbals)
(Boys from Bonwit and girls from Gimbels)
(Shaking off that old Manhattan dust)
(To get to Hollywood or bust)
(Town of tinsel and town of bubbles)
(Drive-in theaters and daily doubles)
(Let me tell you mister it's a must)
(To get to Hollywood or bust)
Drugstore cowboys Hollywood Indians extras looking for jobs
Waiting for someone to discover them down at the counter of Schwabs
Land of burgers and land of weenies
Bathing beauties in their bikinis
Mingle with the lower upper crust
You'll see your favorite dolly out and jolly
Hollywood
Hollywood
Hollywood or bust
Dean Martin, nato Dino Paul Crocetti il 7 giugno 1917 a Steubenville, Ohio, è stato un cantante, attore e comico italo-americano. Figlio di immigrati italiani originari di Montesilvano, Abruzzo, Martin iniziò la sua carriera musicale nei locali di New York negli anni '40, assumendo il nome d'arte Dean Martin in onore del tenore Nino Martini. Nel 1946 formò un duo comico con Jerry Lewis, che divenne uno dei più popolari e longevi della storia dell'intrattenimento. Insieme realizzarono sedici film, tra cui "La mia amica Irma" (1949) e "Hollywood o morte!" (1956), e apparvero in programmi televisivi di grande successo come "The Colgate Comedy Hour". Dopo la separazione dal duo nel 1956, Martin continuò a avere una carriera di successo sia come attore che come cantante. Interpretò ruoli memorabili in film come "I giovani leoni" (1958) e "Un dollaro d'onore" (1959), e raggiunse il successo internazionale con canzoni come "That's Amore" (1954), una dichiarazione d'affetto per Napoli e la sua cultura. Negli anni '60, Martin fu uno dei membri fondatori del Rat Pack, un gruppo di artisti che includeva Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr. e Peter Lawford. Il Rat Pack divenne famoso per i suoi spettacoli esuberanti e le performance memorabili a Las Vegas. Nel 1965 Martin iniziò a condurre il suo show televisivo "The Dean Martin Show", che ebbe un grande successo fino al 1974. Martin continuò ad apparire in film e a registrare musica fino alla fine degli anni '80, quando si ritirò dalle scene dopo una tournée con Sinatra e Davis Jr. Morì il 25 dicembre 1995 per enfisema. Dean Martin è ricordato come uno dei più grandi entertainer del XX secolo, un uomo di talento versatile che ha lasciato un'impronta indelebile nella musica, nel cinema e nella cultura americana.
