Personality
Van Johnson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Said all the gentlemen, obviously, the madame has the cutest personality.
And think of all the books about do Barry's looks,
What was it made her the toast of Paree?
She had a well-developed personality.
And what did Romeo see in Juliet or Hero in Perriet, or Jupiter in Juno? you know!
Or when Salome danced and had the boys entranced,
That she knew how to use her personality.
You're quite a ladies' man just how d'you do advance, I know it can't be publicity,
Boys to Sinatra: The boys at Metro call it a personality.
Oh Frank you're awfully thin, just how did you begin,
To set the style in the swoon industry
He: I did it with my famished personality.
I know it's not the place for me to make this crack,
But I hear tell that Gable's back.
Boys: Frankie, here's a bromo, why, a Como (ow!)
We're grateful to the flock to where those bobbies sack
Because without them we must agree,
We would never have made it with a personality.
Van Johnson's song "Personality" is a tribute to the importance of personality in achieving success and popularity. The song starts by referring to Madame Pompadour's charm and personality, which made her the toast of Paree, and were arguably more important than her looks. The song goes on to give several examples of famous people who were popular because of their personalities rather than their appearance, such as Romeo and Juliet, Hero and Perriet, Jupiter and Juno, and Salome. All these characters were loved and admired for the way they carried themselves, their charm, and their engaging personalities.
The chorus of the song talks about how important one's personality is in achieving success and becoming popular. The lyrics "I know it can't be publicity" and "I did it with my famished personality" exemplify the idea that true popularity comes from having an authentic personality rather than just relying on advertising or good looks. The song's final verse pays homage to the fans and admirers who contribute to an individual's success and popularity, as without their support, even people with great personalities might struggle to achieve fame.
