The Blonde
TV Girl Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To the redheads of the world
Who's gonna call them up at night
When they're naked and alone
Who's gonna kiss the brown haired girls
Who's gonna wipe away their tears
And what about the black haired girls
Cause anyone who ever had a brain
Wouldn't stand out in the rain
Or keep it up for very long
Just to prove somebody wrong
And anyone who ever had a heart
Or sang a lonesome song
Would sell their little souls
Just to make it with the blonde
It's just unearned admiration
Are you sick of all the stares
You don't need to hide yourself away
You only need to dye your hair
But it won't do you any good
Cause pretty soon your roots will be showing
And anytime you try to leave the room
They'll ask you just where the hell
Do you think you're going
The lyrics of TV Girl's "The Blonde" are a commentary on society's fixation with a certain type of physical appearance, namely blonde-haired women. The song questions why society puts such emphasis on this type of look, leaving other types of women feeling ignored and undervalued. The first verse asserts that redheads, brown-haired girls, and black-haired girls are overlooked and forgotten, while blondes receive all the attention. The lyrics imply that blondes have become so highly sought after that other women are left to feel unimportant and unattractive.
The chorus of the song is a statement on how people will go to great lengths to attain the ideal of blonde hair, even if it means sacrificing their true selves. The lines "Anyone who ever had a heart / Or sang a lonesome song / Would sell their little souls / Just to make it with the blonde" suggest that people are willing to compromise their values and personality in order to fit in with societal expectations. The final verse of the song suggests that the pursuit of the "blonde ideal" is ultimately futile, as even those who attain it will never be truly fulfilled, as they will always be expected to maintain the appearance.
Overall, "The Blonde" is a poignant commentary on society's superficial ideals and the negative impact they can have on those who do not fit into those standards.
Line by Line Meaning
Who's gonna pay attention
Who will give thought to
To the redheads of the world
Those with red hair around the world
Who's gonna call them up at night
Who will phone them at night
When they're naked and alone
When they are unclothed and solitary
Who's gonna kiss the brown haired girls
Who will kiss girls with brown hair
Who's gonna wipe away their tears
Who will remove their tears
And what about the black haired girls
And what of girls with black hair
Who's gonna whisper filthy things into their ears
Who will murmur lewd things into their ears
Cause anyone who ever had a brain
Because anybody who has intelligence
Wouldn't stand out in the rain
Would not stand under rain
Or keep it up for very long
Or maintain it for an extended period
Just to prove somebody wrong
Simply to demonstrate somebody's error
And anyone who ever had a heart
And anybody with a heart
Or sang a lonesome song
Or sang a sad tune
Would sell their little souls
Would trade their insignificant souls
Just to make it with the blonde
Just to have sex with the blonde
It's just unearned admiration
It is only undeserved praise
Are you sick of all the stares
Are you tired of all the gazes
You don't need to hide yourself away
You don't have to withdraw from life
You only need to dye your hair
You simply have to color your hair
But it won't do you any good
However, it will not benefit you
Cause pretty soon your roots will be showing
Because your hair roots will be visible soon
And anytime you try to leave the room
And each time you attempt to exit the room
They'll ask you just where the hell
They will ask you precisely
Do you think you're going
Where you are going

@Melinaticasflores
never thought I was going to relate to this song till now.
my crush types is a blonde girl, white, skinny, blue/green eyes
and I'm a, mix, black/brown hair, medium skinny, brown/black eyes
I cried knowing he won't like me ever and only will see me as a friend though he showed off signs he liked me (I thought) started to lay his head on my shoulder, play with his hair, talk, fool around
I asked him what did he see in her? he said
she treats me right.
(Spolier she's the school th8t)
but don't I treat him right? I can change my behavior but
at the end of the day,
im not Blonde
im not skinny
im not white
I don't have blue/green eyes
I wonder ever if a guy would like me for who I am and not a lot of my looks though I try looking pretty with makeup
@Jessicaca.Cringe
This song is so relatable because to be perfect you need to be a skinny tall blue eyed blonde who has a horrible attitude. My blonde friend always gets chosen over me. She always gets what she wants. “You only need to dye your hair. But it won’t do any good cause pretty soon your roots will be shown.” It’s the best line in history. You just need to dye your hair to get people to notice you.
