"Starstruck" is a song by the English rock band the Kinks from their sixth studio album, The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society (1968). Written and sung by Ray Davies, the song was recorded in July 1968. The song was issued as the album's lead single in continental Europe in November 1968 and in the United States in January 1969. The European release was accompanied by a promo film shot in Waterlow Park, Highgate. The song failed to chart anywhere besides the Netherlands, where it reached No. 13 on the Veronica Top 40 and No. 9 on the Hilversum 3 Top 30. An example of rock and beat music, "Starstruck" features a Mellotron which duplicates the sound of a string section. The lyrics are directed towards a female listener whom the singer politely chastises for failing to distinguish between stardom and real-life. Retrospective commentators dispute the song's level of thematic cohesion with the others on Village Green; some suggest a lack of relation to the album's themes, while others contend it fits in with notions of escapism and a contrasting of rural and urban life.
