This is my favorite song by a duo that needs no introduction. But what would the stars think of their famous song - 'golden starlight in your eyes of blue' they would go along with probably.  Special people DO have a twinkle in their eyes.  But 'why do stars fall down from the sky, every time you walk by'?  Not so much maybe.  After all, they didn't even do THAT for Elvis.
