“Hollywood” by World Party
From the album Bang! (1993)
“Hollywood” by World Party appears on 5 radio countdowns from 1 station between 2007 and 2011. It was first released in 1993 on the album Bang!. Its best result is #1812 on the CD101 Top 2009 Songs of All-Time (December 2008). In the combined RockLists rankings it is #5,906 alternative song of all time.
"Hollywood" comes from Bang!, the third album by Welsh-British outfit World Party, which Ensign Records released on April 20, 1993, and it's Karl Wallinger's song through and through: he wrote the words and the music and produced it, with Steve Lillywhite adding extra production and handling the mix.
Bang! changed how the outfit worked. The earlier World Party records had been more or less solo projects for Wallinger, a multi-instrumentalist, but this time the name officially covered a trio: Wallinger on vocals, keyboards, guitars and basses, David Catlin-Birch on guitars and Chris Sharrock on drums, with a number of guests helping out.
