Girls Just Want to Have Fun
Russian Red Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My mother says "When you gonna live your life right?"
Oh, mommy, dear,
We're not the fortunate ones,
And girls,
They wanna have fu-un
Oh, girls,
Just wanna have fun
The phone rings in the middle of the night,
My father yells "What you gonna do with your life?"
Oh, daddy, dear,
You know you're still number one,
But girls,
They wanna have fu-un,
Oh, girls, just wanna have
That's all they really want,
Some fun
When the working day is done,
Oh, girls,
They wanna have fu-un,
Oh, girls,
Just wanna have... fun
Girls,
They want,
Wanna have fun
Girls,
Wanna have
Some boys take a beautiful girl,
And hide her away from the rest of the world
I wanna be the one to walk in the sun
Oh, girls,
They wanna have fu-un
Oh, girls,
Just wanna have
That's all they really want,
Is some fun
When the working day is done,
Oh, girls,
They wanna have fu-un
Oh, girls,
Just wanna have... fun
The song "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" by Russian Red talks about a girl who just wants to have fun despite her mother insisting that she lives her life right and her father questioning what she is going to do with her life. The singer of the song, however, is not concerned about being fortunate or successful in the traditional sense. Rather, she just wants to enjoy life and have fun like any other girl. She feels that girls have the right to seek happiness in whatever way they want.
The line "Some boys take a beautiful girl, and hide her away from the rest of the world" could be seen as an allusion to how girls are often repressed by society or kept from expressing themselves. The girl in the song wants to be free and not hidden away in a corner. She wants to be out in the sun, living her life and having fun.
Overall, the song is an anthem for girls who know that they do not need to conform to traditional societal expectations. It is a call for girls to live their life on their own terms and enjoy every moment of it.

Nabi, de Russian Red me bajé un disco en tiempos del emule, así sin saber absolutamente nada de que iba el tema, y cuando empecé a escuchar me pasó lo mismo que con Amélie: pasé del "¿Pero qué mariconada es esto?" a "Ooooh es tan boniiitaaa".
