Likely, all the readers of this blog have never heard of Har Mar Superstar. He’s this R&B-type singer from Minnesota whose act is essentially singing his songs, then stripping to his briefs during his last song. He lost his contract for a four-day stint at the Minnesota State Fair for doing this act… at the “hip” teen hangout area. Most of his songs are pretty goofy, but he has a great voice, and his production skills are amazing.
Additionally, he’s internationally recognized. He spent a season performing in Ibiza, Spain, one of the world’s party capitols. He’s good friends with the Osbournes. He sang lead for the Strokes at a show in NY when the lead singer couldn’t show, his name comes from a run-down strip mall in Roseville, MN, he’s good friends with the Yeah Yeah Yeahs… and he has lyrics like “deeper, deeper, I can feel your beeper” and “everything I piss on turns to solid gold”. Yeah, he rules. This song actually captures true emotions instead of a comedy act.
You are the Sunshine in my Soul
I miss you even though you’re not gone
It’s been hard to watch you suffer for so long
But I know we’ll all carry on
Love is strong
Love is strong
Love is strong
The past will repeat itself
And you know there’s no escaping personal hell
And maybe you can’t see what you mean to me
But it’s real, I just learned to show how I feel
We don’t always see eye to eye
But when my eyes aren’t seein’ you I start to cry
Cause I know there’ll be an emptiness when you die
Don’t try to hold on
Love is strong
Love is strong
Love is strong
And maybe we’ll meet again someday
When all our worldly problems have gone away
But right now all that I can say
Is thank you for so many wonderful days
If there’s a force beyond this world
They already know you’re worth your weight in gold
I don’t know if you’ve been told
You are the sunshine in my soul
If there’s a force beyond this world
They already know you’re worth your weight in gold
I don’t know if you’ve been told
You are the sunshine in my soul.
