"I Don't Wanna Be a Star" is the title of a song by the Italian band Corona. It was released in November 1995 as the fourth and last single from their 1994 debut album The Rhythm of the Night.
It was a nightclub hit in many European countries, but unlike the previous Corona singles, it had disco sonorities. "I Don't Wanna Be a Star" wasn't able to eclipse the success of "The Rhythm of the Night" or "Baby Baby", but achieved moderate success as a fourth single from a year-old album. It managed to reach number 6 in Finland, hit the Top 25 in the UK (during the busiest time of the year, around Christmas) and topped at n°1 on charts in Spain.
It was Corona's last major hit.

Famous quotes containing the words wanna and/or star:
“Up the reputable walks of old established trees
They stalk, children of the nouveaux riches; chimes
Of the tall Clock Tower drench their heads in blessing:
“I don’t wanna play at your house;
I don’t like you any more.”
My house stands opposite, on the other hill,”
—William Dewitt Snodgrass (b. 1926)
“The obvious parallels between Star Wars and The Wizard of Oz have frequently been noted: in both there is the orphan hero who is raised on a farm by an aunt and uncle and yearns to escape to adventure. Obi-wan Kenobi resembles the Wizard; the loyal, plucky little robot R2D2 is Toto; C3PO is the Tin Man; and Chewbacca is the Cowardly Lion. Darth Vader replaces the Wicked Witch: this is a patriarchy rather than a matriarchy.”
—Andrew Gordon, U.S. educator, critic. “The Inescapable Family in American Science Fiction and Fantasy Films,” Journal of Popular Film and Television (Summer 1992)
