Interestingly enough in the earliest versions of the song, the title seems
to be most often written as two words, so that just makes for a deeper pile
of ****.

A review of a book of poems by Frank Bidart, entitled "Star Dust" says: "So
it makes sense that the new volume's title is not "Stardust," a name that
would serve for a piano bar. The title's two four-letter words instead evoke
the ethereal, the earthly, and the distance between them."
I can think of another four-letter word, heard in piano bars, that describes
this sort of s***. Cheers.
Fred
