Mr Success
The Rat Pack Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Put your head on my chest, and I am Mr. Success.
Never closed me a deal, all at once I'm a wheel,
Just your head on my chest, and I'm Mr. Success.
Why I once knew a worrying man, he was a hurrying man,
With never a second to play,
He had appointments to keep, people to meet,
Not for me, not what I want to be,
Just your head on my chest, and I'm Mr. Success.
Why, I once knew a worrying man, he was a hurrying man,
With never a second to play,
He had appointments to keep, lots of people to meet,
And it took her the hour to make him a day,
Not for me, not what I want to be,
Put my love to the test, that's when I'm at my best,
'Cause with you, pretty baby, standing by my side,
I couldn't be a failure even if I tried,
Cause you make me Mr. Success.
The Rat Pack's song Mr Success is essentially a love song that defines success not by money, power or status, but rather by the presence of a partner. The song is a declaration that when the singer's love is present and they rest their head on their chest, they transform into Mr. Success. The idea being presented is that success is not just about one's personal achievements, but it's a relative term that requires the presence of someone else to make it real.
The song goes on to explain that the singer once knew a man who was constantly running, always in a hurry, and never had time to stop and enjoy life. The singer is saying that he doesn't want that kind of life, that he doesn't want to be defined by his work or the things he has to do. He's content just being with his loved one, and with their love, he transcends the trappings of the world and becomes a success.
The song revolves around the idea of love and the power of relationships, defining success beyond financial or social status. The idea that success can be redefined through nourishing an important relationship is a potent message, one that goes beyond the cliche of love conquering all.

Loved this! Just a minor quibble: the background music was too loud, and of the wrong era...
Great job on the writing!
@sahshamariemason6710
Love themā¦. But even they were to a point not what we saw on the stage.
@kevinbergin9971
That is great that Dean Martin stood up for Sammy by not attending the Kennedy Inaugural. Seemed he also snubbed Lawford too.
@mrjw6701
Sinatra is the one who snubbed Lawford and ostracised him from the group.
@kevinbergin9971
@@mrjw6701 Dean never had Lawford on his show; yet Sinatra, Davis and Bishop were all there multiple times.
@joeymorvant161
It is great that Dean showed support for Sammy.
