Originally recorded by Buck Owens and the Buckaroos
This video might bring a smile to your face and remind you that we can well be a bit silly sometimes. I remember how scared I was that day. I was sure that whoever would see the video might think it was daft with all my moves. But precisely those steps have helped me overcome my embarrassment. I’m not perfect, but then… I don’t have to compare myself to others and don’t need to be liked by everyone. But I still remember with much joy that gloomy Sunday when, armed with camera and guitar, I danced on that platform in the Zurich main railway station.

Lyrics
They’re gonna put me in the movies
They’re gonna make a big star out of me
We’ll make a film about a man that’s sad and lonely
And all I gotta do is act naturally
Well, I’ll bet you I’ma gonna be a big star
Might win an Oscar you can’t never tell
The movie’s gonna make me a big star
‘Cause I can play the part so well
Well, I hope you come to see me in the movie
Then I know that you will plainly see
The biggest fool that’s ever hit the big time
And all I gotta do is act naturally
We’ll make a scene about a man that’s sad and lonely
And begging down upon his bended knee
I’ll play the part but I won’t need rehearsin’
All I’ll have to do is act naturally
Well, I’ll bet you I’ma gonna be a big star
Might win an Oscar you can’t never tell
The movie’s gonna make me a big star
‘Cause I can play the part so well
Well, I hope you come to see me in the movie
Then I’ll know that you will plainly see
The biggest fool that’s ever hit the big time
And all I gotta do is act naturally
