Lyrics : Rockstar lyrics Sometimes I walk a little faster In the school hallway just to get next to you Some days I spend a little extra time In the morning just to impress you Guess you don't notice, guess you don't need this Sad you're not seeing what you're missing On the outside shyin' away On the inside dyin' to say I'm unusual, not so typical Way too smart to be waiting around Tai Chi practicin', snowboard champion! I can fix the flat on your car I might even be a rock star I might even be a rock star Sometimes I wish when the phone rings That it would be you saying, "Let's hang out" Then you confess that there's something special between us, why don't we find out You don't know me, guess you don't need me Why you're not seein' what you're missin' On the outside shyin' away On the inside dyin' to say I'm unusual, not so typical Way too smart to be waiting around Tai Chi practicin', snowboard champion! I can fix the flat on your car I might even be a rock star If you only knew the real me I might even be a rock star I'm tellin' you that we are meant to be Now wouldn't it be nice if you could see That I really am a rock star Yeah yeah Yeah I really am a rock star A rock star I'm unusual, not so typical Way too smart to be waiting around Tai Chi practices, snowboard champion! I can fix the flat on your car Rockin' it wherever we are, yeah yeah 'Cause I really am a rock star 'Cause I really am a rock star I am a rock star, whoa, yeah! **Let me know if any lyrics are wrong Biography : Miley Cyrus is best known from the Hannah Montana TV series and debuted on March 24, 2006 on the Disney Channel. The childrens television series has since been nominated for the American Emmy Award. Hannah Montana is about Miley Steward (Miley Cyrus) who turns from an average teenage girl during the day to a famous pop singer at night - Hannah Montana. She then of course continuously tries to conceal her identity to everyone but family and close friends. On November 23, 1992 Miley Cyrus later known as Hannah Montana was born in Franklin, Tennessee. She first attended the Heritage Middle School but now has her own private tutor! Miley grew up on a farm with her family in Nashville. The famous coutry singer Billy Ray Cyrus and Leticia Cyrus are her parents. She has two older half-brothers as well as an elder half-sister, a younger sister Noah who is now an actress and a younger brother Braison. The nickname Miley was acquired during childhood because of her constant smile on her face! Miley Cyrus (Hannah Montana) has moved to Toronto, Canada with her family at the age of 9. Here, she secured a contract to play a girl named Kylie in her fathers television series Doc. That was her first debut, after which a Disney audition followed at the age of 11. Miley Cyrus was then chosen to play in Hannah Montana at the age of 12 due to her energetic and lively performance and was seen as a person who truly loves every minute of life. As a consequence, Miley Cyrus currently stars in Hannah Montana as the lead character. On June 22, 2006 she did her first performance as Hannah Montana at the Disney Typhoon Lagoon at the Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida. Miley Cyrus first audio CD was released on October 24, 2006, released by Walt Disney Records and included eight soundtracks used in the increasingly popular television series Hannah Montana. The soundtracks made it onto the Billboards chart and hit #1 and stayed there for two weeks in a row! During this period, she made several appearances on popular TV shows such as Total Request Live and Good Morning America. Miley is personal friends with other Hannah Montana co-stars Mitchel Musso and Emily Osment often texting and chatting with each other.

Well, this isn't exactly a paean to Walt, maybe more like an homage and a poke in the eye combined. The seemingly avuncular Walt was at times a hate mongering bigot, anti-unionist, gangster conspiring genuine creep. But gosh, he ran a company that made all those endearing cartoons, and come on, Disneyland-- how can you hate an arch-conservative for that. I am attracted and repulsed at the same time by Walt. There are a few good biographies, but no great ones. Made with Toon Boom, Adobe Premiere mainly. Lots of wasted time for no good reason really.

The studio received so much fan mail about "How Will I Know My Love", written by the Sherman Brothers, that Walt Disney decided to issue it as a single, and to give Funicello, somewhat unwillingly, a recording contract.[3] [edit] Actress and singer After the Mickey Mouse Club she remained under contract with Disney for a time, with television roles in Zorro, Elfego Baca and The Horsemasters. For Zorro she played Anita Cabrillo in a three-episode storyline about a teen-aged girl who arrives in Los Angeles to visit a father who does not seem to exist. This role was reportedly a birthday present from Walt Disney, and the first of two different characters played opposite Guy Williams as Zorro. Annette also co-starred in Disney-produced movies such as The Shaggy Dog, Babes in Toyland, The Misadventures of Merlin Jones, and The Monkey's Uncle.[4] Although uncomfortable being thought of as a singer, Annette had a number of pop record hits in the late 1950s and early 1960s, mostly written by the Sherman Brothers and including: "Tall Paul", "First Name Initial", "O Dio Mio", "Train of Love" (written by Paul Anka) and "Pineapple Princess". They were released by Disney's Buena Vista label. Annette also recorded "It's Really Love" in 1959, a reworking of an earlier Paul Anka song called "Toot Sweet"; Anka reworked the song for a third time in 1962 as "Johnny's Theme" and it opened The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson on television for the next three decades. In an episode of the Disney anthology television series titled "Disneyland After Dark", Annette can be seen singing live at Disneyland. Walt Disney was reportedly a fan of 1950s pop star Teresa Brewer and tried to pattern Annette's singing in the same style. However, Funicello credits "the Annette sound" to her record producer, Tutti Camarata, who worked for Disney in that era. Camarata had her double-track her vocals, matching her first track as closely as possible on the second recording to achieve a fuller sound than her voice would otherwise produce. Early in her career, she appeared on the NBC interview program Here's Hollywood. [3] [edit] Beach icon and spokesperson After maturing, she moved on from Disney and became a teen idol, starring in a series of "Beach Party" movies with Frankie Avalon for American International Pictures. These included Beach Party, Muscle Beach Party, Bikini Beach, Beach Blanket Bingo, How to Stuff a Wild Bikini and Pajama Party -- which centers around a Californian mansion swimming pool. When she was cast in her first beach movie, Walt Disney reportedly requested that she only wear modest bathing suits and keep her navel hidden. However, Annette wore a two piece fishnet suit in the second film (Muscle Beach Party) and a blue and white bikini in the third (Bikini Beach). Both swimsuits showed her navel, particularly in Bikini Beach, where it is visible extensively during close up shots in a sequence early in the film when she meets Frankie Avalon's "Potato Bug" character outside his tent.[5] She and Avalon became so iconic as "beach picture" stars that they were re-united in 1987 for Back to the Beach, parodying their own films of two decades earlier. They then toured the country as a singing act. In 1979, Funicello began starring in a series of television commercials for Skippy peanut butter.[6]
Born in Utica, New York to Italian-Americans Joseph and Virginia Funicello, she took dancing and music lessons as a child to try to overcome shyness. Her family moved to Southern California when she was four years old.[2] In 1955, the 12-year-old was discovered by Walt Disney as she performed as the Swan Queen in Swan Lake at a dance recital in Burbank, California. On the basis of this appearance, Disney cast her as one of the original "Mouseketeers". She was the last to be selected, and the only one picked by Walt Disney. She soon proved to be very popular. By the end of the first season of Mickey Mouse Club, she was receiving 6000 letters a month, according to her Disney Legends biography. In addition to appearing in many of the Mouseketeers' sketches and dance routines, Funicello starred or co-starred in a number of serials on The Mickey Mouse Club. These included Adventure in Dairyland, her own self-titled serial, Walt Disney Presents: Annette (which co-starred Richard Deacon), and the second and third Spin and Marty serials,The Further Adventures of Spin and Marty and The New Adventures of Spin and Marty. It was in a hayride scene in the Annette serial that she performed the song that was to launch her singing career. The studio received so much fan mail about "How Will I Know My Love", written by the Sherman Brothers, that Walt Disney decided to issue it as a single, and to give Funicello, somewhat unwillingly, a recording contract.[3] [edit] Actress and singer ...

The studio received so much fan mail about "How Will I Know My Love", written by the Sherman Brothers, that Walt Disney decided to issue it as a single, and to give Funicello, somewhat unwillingly, a recording contract.[3] [edit] Actress and singer After the Mickey Mouse Club she remained under contract with Disney for a time, with television roles in Zorro, Elfego Baca and The Horsemasters. For Zorro she played Anita Cabrillo in a three-episode storyline about a teen-aged girl who arrives in Los Angeles to visit a father who does not seem to exist. This role was reportedly a birthday present from Walt Disney, and the first of two different characters played opposite Guy Williams as Zorro. Annette also co-starred in Disney-produced movies such as The Shaggy Dog, Babes in Toyland, The Misadventures of Merlin Jones, and The Monkey's Uncle.[4] Although uncomfortable being thought of as a singer, Annette had a number of pop record hits in the late 1950s and early 1960s, mostly written by the Sherman Brothers and including: "Tall Paul", "First Name Initial", "O Dio Mio", "Train of Love" (written by Paul Anka) and "Pineapple Princess". They were released by Disney's Buena Vista label. Annette also recorded "It's Really Love" in 1959, a reworking of an earlier Paul Anka song called "Toot Sweet"; Anka reworked the song for a third time in 1962 as "Johnny's Theme" and it opened The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson on television for the next three decades. In an episode of the Disney anthology television series titled "Disneyland After Dark", Annette can be seen singing live at Disneyland. Walt Disney was reportedly a fan of 1950s pop star Teresa Brewer and tried to pattern Annette's singing in the same style. However, Funicello credits "the Annette sound" to her record producer, Tutti Camarata, who worked for Disney in that era. Camarata had her double-track her vocals, matching her first track as closely as possible on the second recording to achieve a fuller sound than her voice would otherwise produce. Early in her career, she appeared on the NBC interview program Here's Hollywood. [3] [edit] Beach icon and spokesperson After maturing, she moved on from Disney and became a teen idol, starring in a series of "Beach Party" movies with Frankie Avalon for American International Pictures. These included Beach Party, Muscle Beach Party, Bikini Beach, Beach Blanket Bingo, How to Stuff a Wild Bikini and Pajama Party -- which centers around a Californian mansion swimming pool. When she was cast in her first beach movie, Walt Disney reportedly requested that she only wear modest bathing suits and keep her navel hidden.
