The Rolling Stones are a legendary rock band representing the UK, and they’ve enjoyed enormous popularity in Japan for many years.

Their classic track “Star Star,” included on the 1973 album Goats Head Soup, became famous for its outrageously vulgar and provocative lyrics.

It’s not exactly centered on a star theme, but it’s such an incredibly entertaining song that I decided to feature it this time!
