I've got a toughy! (Classic Rock)

It's tough because of the amount of information I have lol. I have to supplement it by describing the song. It'll be good for the classic rock gurus. It's been driving me nuts for weeks trying to figure it out.

There's not too much to the chorus but the line "Star light, Star bright" is repeated a couple of times throughout the song and is screamed in a Led Zeppelin sort of way (it definitely sounds like its from the 70's).

The song starts out with a low guitar riff very similar to the beginning of the song Barracuda by Heart (dun dununun dununun...).

It's definitely *NOT* Rick Springfield's star light, star bright. Pretty much the only reputable male singer I found that sings a song with that title which leads me to believe the song probably has a different name.

Someone has to know it.

Good forum, gonna go see how many people I can help now.

Try "Star" by Earth Wind And Fire

Oops hit send button too soon..
Also try the following songs:

"Solar System" by Brian Wilson/Beach Boys
"Twinkle Twinkle Lil Star" by Damage
"Space" by Simpleminds

thanks for the attempts. I checked all of those out but none of them match. I've emailed the radio station for the playlist for the hour that I heard the song. Hopefully they get back to me but I doubt it.

Bing Crosby - Star Light Star Bright...maybe

Try this:

"This flight tonight"- Nazareth Album Loud 'N' Proud

Look out the left
captain said
The lights down there
that's where we'll land.
I saw a falling star burn up
Above the Las Vagas sands.
It wasn't the one that you gave to me
That night down South between the trailer;
Not the early one
That you can wish upon;
Not the Northern one
That guides in the sailors.

Oh starbright
starbright

You've got the loving that I like
all right
Turn this crazy bird around
I shouldn't have got on this flight tonight.

You got the touch so gentle and sweet
But you've got that look so critical
I can't talk to you baby
I get so weak.
Sometimes I think love is just mythical
Up there's a heaven
Down there's a town
Blackness everywhere and little lights shine
Blackness
blackness dragging me down
Come on light the candle in this poor heart of mine.


I'm drinking sweet champagne
Got the headphones up high
Can't numb you out
Can't drum you out of my mind
They're playing "Goodbye baby
baby goodbye

Ooh
ooh
love is blind"
Up go the flaps
down go the wheels
I hope you got your heat turned on baby
I hope they finally fixed your automobile
I hope it's better when we meet again.

Aw Mumbles beat me to it...just when i thought I was going to save the day lol.

You guys are awesome! it was Nazareth. Thanks

Yes, but the original was written and recorded by Joni Mitchell.
