Momus wrote thirty songs for Stars Forever, one about every person or group who commissioned a song at the price of $1,000. The funds raised went towards the costs incurred from a lawsuit against Momus by Wendy Carlos.[3] "Patrons" include fellow musicians The Minus 5 and Keigo Oyamada, artist Jeff Koons, retail store Other Music, and record label Minty Fresh. The album also features the eight winners of a karaoke parody contest in which participants where invited by Momus to submit recordings of themselves singing over the karaoke instrumentals included on his previous album The Little Red Songbook (1998).[4]
