| |
| "'''Starlight'''" was originally written by [[Rivers Cuomo]] and performed by [[Weezer]] as a b-side to Weezer's [[Weezer (The Green Album)|''Green Album'']]. In [[2002]], the song was covered by New Zealand pop rock band [[Zed]].
| |
| | |
| ==Overview==
| |
| "[[Starlight]]" was covered by Zed in [[2002]], being released as the first track of the soundtrack to the [[2002]] {{Wiki2|Rob_Schneider|Rob Schneider}}-fronted comedy film {{Wiki2|The_Hot_Chick#Soundtrack|''The Hot Chick''}}. It was also released as a CD single in both the United States and New Zealand on [[Geffen Records]] and {{Wiki2|Universal_Music_New_Zealand|Universal}} respectively. The New Zealand release of the single features two additional tracks ("Watching the World" and "This One") as well as the music video for "Starlight". The cover was later released as track five on Zed's [[2003]] album ''[[This Little Empire]]''.
| |
| | |
| [[Rivers Cuomo]] was flattered by the cover, calling Zed's arrangement an improvement.{{Citation needed}}

| | |
| ==Music video==
| |
| A music video was recorded featuring the band playing in a high school while characters from the film (including Schneider himself) swap places with members of the band after drinking an "enchanted" drink, vaguely reflecting on the general plot of ''The Hot Chick''.
