She wears her hair like Hedy Lamarr
This is driving me crazy! I've been watching TCM and seeing Hedy Lamarr reminded me of a rock song from the 70's, but I can't find anything on that lyric on google. All I remember is a strong bass line and the lyric "she wears her hair like Hedy Lamarr" and "she's a real high flyer" and something about "keeps a (something) in a jar"... anybody know this song or the artist?

hello,

this is a hard one, but in order to eliminate the possible songs I and others may find, here's my suggestion of the day :

"Mary C. Brown and the Hollywood Sign" by Dory Previn ('72)
(one line in that song - easily available on internet - is :

"She looked a bit like Hedy Lamarr"

All this doesn't correspond with what you mentioned as lyrics,
but the fact that there are songs about this actress in the 70s,
proves that I - or others - may ultimately find the right song.

Thanks for searching Mike! Neither of the songs you mentioned is the one I'm remembering. I keep thinking maybe it was the Rock band Cactus, but I'm not sure and couldn't find much about them online.
I appreciate your help

Hi TallyJo,
Over the years I've tried to remember the name of the same band you're thinking of. I actually remembered it once, then promptly forgot.
One of my close friends had the record and we listened to it a lot - though the only song I can remember at all is the one with the lyric you mention. I still remember the tune, but very little of the words (besides "Wears her hair like Hedy Lamarr" and the rhyming line, "Deep inside you know she's a star").
I DO remember the album cover had a color photo of the band members looking out the windshield of a (I think) 1956 Chevy. And I seem to remember them being from the L.A. area...all very vague and perhaps inaccurate.
I'll keep thinking about it and I'll let you know if I remember.
If you've since learned or remembered their name, please reply.
This is kind of maddening...
Thanks,
m

Hey, I remembered!
The band was JoJo Gunne, the song is 'Academy award'.
The remastered CD is even available at Amazon.

And they have a website:

I wonder if you still have an account here...
