(Si Si) Je Suis un Rock Star

"(Si Si) Je Suis un Rock Star" () is a song by the English rock musician Bill Wyman, released in July 1981 by A&M Records as the lead single from his eponymous third solo studio album.

While most of the song is in English, the chorus is in Franglais: "Je suis un rock star / Je avais un residence / Je habiter là / à la south of France / Voulez-vous / partir with me? / And come and rester là / with me in France."

Wyman originally wrote the song for Ian Dury of the Blockheads. However, finding himself unable to interest Dury or any other artist in it, he reluctantly recorded the song himself, using an accent he later described as "Cockney French".

The song's highest chart position on UK singles chart was at No. 14, and it spent nine weeks in total in the top 40.
