I was listening to my morning mix and “Star Collector” by The Monkees popped up:
> [@](#):

> She’s a star collector (collector of stars)
> She only seems to please young celebrities.
> She’s a star collector (collector of stars)
> How can I love her, when I just don’t respect her?

> When everything is goin’ my way,
> She wants to be close at hand.
> She moves to some other doorway
> When things don’t go the way she planned.
What other songs about groupies(either music or movies) are out there?

There are tons of songs about groupies, but the first that came to mind, the aptly name:
[Rolling Stones - Star Fucker](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iudmMgbAAmI)
“Your tricks with fruit, were kinda cute, I hope you keep your pussy clean” - Mick Jagger, always the charmer.

We’re an American Band - Grand Funk Railroad
- Sweet, sweet Connie doin’ her act, she had the whole show and that’s a natural fact…
Five Short Minutes - Jim Croce
Plaster Caster - KISS
Sweet Connie and Cynthia Plaster Caster are probably the most famous groupies of all time.
ETA - Ninja’d while doing research 🙂

**Grand Funk Railroad - American Band** - Sweet Sweet Connie from Omaha
**KISS - Plaster Caster** - just eww.
**Led Zeppelin - Livin’ Lovin’ Maid** - It was a dig of a song to a woman who was hanging around the studio; can’t recall if she was a groupie, per se.
This was all from a different time. Can’t say I have an issue with that.
ETA: Double-ninja’d by **Telemark**!!! Who had already been ninja’d!!! O, the agony!!

[Stevie’s Spanking](http://wiki.killuglyradio.com/wiki/Stevie%27s_Spanking) tells an amusing story about Steve Vai and a groupie, Laurel, who had a fascination with inserting objects inside herself. According to the _Real Frank Zappa Book_, if it fit, she’d done it.

From groupie’s POV, the haunting [Groupie (Superstar](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superstar_(Delaney_and_Bonnie_song))) by Delaney and Bonnie Bramlett and Leon Russell, recorded by nearly every female singer of the 1970’s, [notably by the Carpenters](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9Nm_0pC4FM).
Arguably, [Killing Me Softly With His Song](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kgl-VRdXr7I&list=RDkgl-VRdXr7I).
