That's just the kind of ostensibly tasteless but nonetheless imaginative humor for which Momus is notorious, humor that listeners may or may not actually find amusing. Since Momus is also known for the songs he has written for others, many compiled on the recent 20 Vodka Jellies collection, Le Grand Magistery and Currie devised a unique and convenient method of paying those legal bills. Not a bad idea, as Stars Forever illustrates. A two-disc set packed with 30 of said songs, plus eight winners of the Momus karaoke contest and one lengthy interview with Currie, Stars Forever is a hilarious example of the singer's cult appeal. The songs themselves are like especially smart Mad Libs, written around various personal factoids provided by the generous donors.
Stars Forever is a novelty, to be sure, but at least the collection itself is novel.
