Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hey, Venus, oh, Venus
Venus, if you will
Please send a little girl for me to thrill
A girl who wants my kisses and my arms
A girl with all the charms of you
Venus, make her fair
And take the brightest stars up in the skies
And place them in her eyes for me
Venus, goddess of love that you are
Surely the things I ask
Can't be too great a task
Venus, if you do
I promise that I always will be true
I'll give her all the love I have to give
As long as we both shall live
Hey, Venus, oh, Venus
Make my wish come true
The song "Venus" by Frankie Avalon has a very simple, yet catchy and romantic message. The singer is addressing the goddess of love, Venus, and asking her to send a girl for him to love and cherish. He describes his ideal girl, who he wants to be fair and charming like Venus herself. He also asks that she be adorned with the beauty of the stars, to place them in her eyes, making her simply irresistible.
The song is a perfect example of a love song that has stood the test of time. It was written in 1959 by Ed Marshall and Peter De Angelis and was recorded by many popular artists such as Frankie Avalon, The Four Seasons, and Shocking Blue. The song was a huge hit, reaching the number one spot on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart, which helped Frankie Avalon become a popular teen idol of the time.
The lyrics convey a sense of longing and desire, and the singer is almost pleading with Venus to help him find love. It's a very innocent and romantic song that captures the essence of young love. The simplicity of the song makes it easy to remember and sing along to, which could be another reason why it has remained popular for so many years.
