Starf*cker: Definition

#1: A person or persons who uses popularity and celebrity acquaintances to get further in business or social situations, sometimes without even having sex. (Thanks Urban Dictionary; Jamie Burke, we're looking at you).

#2: An individual who enhances his/her self worth by sexual contact with the perceived power figure in any given situation. (As Monica Lewinksy said herself, "I'm well-known for something that isn't great to be well-known for.")

#3: A Portland Oregon-based band that has the balls to take a well-known kareoke favorite, written by the biggest sex symbol in the world, (Madonna folks, it's Madonna) and turn it into dripping-basement White Williams-esque lo-fi grind, complete with gritty keyboard, synths, computer gadget whispers and slurring effeminate male vocals. A band unafraid to make sweet happy-go-lucky humorous pop unfettered by any petty, negative 'top 40' connotations. See: German Love and Rawnald.

Sounds Like: White Williams, Deer Hunter, Atlas Sound
