about

"Make Her Movie" is the great lost Rank Amateur song. Its origins stretch back to the end days of the Rank in the late 1980s, and multiple recorded versions of the tune exist in the Slowfist Productions archives. This is the most accomplished and fastest version.

Co-writer A. Bergey is a big movie fan. And he knows enough to understand that most Hollywood biopics routinely screw up the life stories they intend to celebrate. "They make it up to make it sell" - how true, how true!

"Make Her Movie" is a tribute to a real-life actress - but there are no clues in the song.

lyrics

MAKE HER MOVIE by A. Bergey / K. Dennis

Now that she is gone
Movies are all wrong
Now that she's away
I don't look forward to the day

They make her movie - they'll make it funny
They'll make it groovy - to make them money
They'll make it up - to make it sell
They'll make it up - so you can't tell

Now that she is gone
Movies are too long
Now that she's away
I don't look forward to the day

They make her movie - they'll make it funny
They'll make it groovy - to make them money
They'll make it up - to make it sell
They'll make it up - so you can't tell

I thought Nastassja would be the next
I loved her in Polanski's Tess
But any thought of her taking your place
Were banished by her follow up disgrace

Now that she is gone
Movies are all wrong
Now that she's away
I don't look forward to the day

They make her movie - they'll make it funny
They'll make it groovy - to make them money
They'll make it up - to make it sell
They'll make it up - so you can't tell

They'll make her movie
