America vs Baby I`m a star

The groove is the same on these to songs but I prefer America.
I believe that sex is a beautiful thing between two people. Between five, it's fantastic.

I'd agree with you. Very similar drum programs. Thematically, the Russian-sounding chorus added an effective layer of irony to the song, as did the American-sounding guitar part (sounding pretty close to flutes). Very cool dichotomies at work in that song, very bombastic and funky, and a very cool ride.

America 4 sure. But I do like the live version of Baby I'm A Star when they break it down and jam, especially the 1 from Atlanta '85... love it!

Baby I'm A Star by a mile, and then some by virtue of its beat, melody and vocal (great scream). America evidences only the first of these, and I don't think much of the lyric either.

These are two songs I cannot choose between because while the beats the same the vibe of the songs are so different and I love them both.

IMHO though, "Baby I'm a Star" is the greatest "bragging on yourself" song ever written!
I'm firmly planted in denial
