Hollywood Romance "Hollywood Romance" is a song written by Lynsey de Paul and David Jordan. It was released as a single on Polydor Records on 20 October 1978 in a picture sleeve, almost six years to the day of the release of their last hit collaboration "Getting a Drag", and it was play-listed on BBC Radio 1. The record label was unusual in that it was printed in silver instead of the usual Polydor red label. In Japan, it was released I February 1979 in the same picture sleeve cover with the title in Japanese added, plus the lyrics were added to the back cover. The song name checked a number of classic era Hollywood movies such as "King Kong", "Last Tango in Paris", "The African Queen", "Citizen Kane" and "Tarzan" and was influenced by de Paul's move to California in the late 1970s to be with the actor James Coburn. The B-side to the "Hollywood Romance" single is a blues song that de Paul co-wrote with Coburn, entitled "Losin' The Blues For You". Polydor hosted a party in London to celebrate the release of "Hollywood Romance" in a Hollywood style setting complete with Busby Berkeley film clips.
