Platinum Blonde Lyrics

I wanna be a platinum blonde
Ooh!
Just like all the sexy stars
Marilyn and Jeane Jayne Mae and Marlene
Yeah they they really had fun
In a luminous day-glo shade
Walk into a bar and I'll have it made!
Cause if that's all it takes; a double processed blonde.
I wanna be a platinum blonde
I wanna be a platinum blonde
Be a platinum blonde
I even tried wearing a wig for a while
It was the right color but not the right style
Gonna get some peroxide at the beauty supply
See ya later!
Nnn I wanna be a platinum blonde
Aah!
Just like all the sexy stars
Marilyn and Jeane Jayne Mae and Marlene
Yeah they they really had fun
Now if you need me on Sunday and you look twice and see
That platinum blonde is gonna be me!
In a double processed luminous day-glo shade
When I get this color I'll have it made in the shade
Oh I hope I'm OK!
I wanna be a platinum blonde!
I wanna be a platinum blonde
Honey I gotta I gotta I gotta I gotta!
I gotta be a platinum blonde!
I gotta be a platinum blonde
I gotta be a platinum blonde!
I'll hit the bottle baby

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Blondie theme song. Blondie once promoted the idea that the name of the band came from Debbie Harry's bleached blonde hair. Her actual color is brunette. On Marilyn, Debbie Harry who is adopted, fantasizes about being Marilyn Monroe's daughter. She talks about this fantasy in "Making Tracks the Rise of Blondie" written by Debbie and Chris Stein. Debbie was born in 1945 and Marilyn Monroe in 1929, meaning Marilyn would be giving birth at age 16. Possible, but clearly the song plays into and maybe makes a little fun of this fantasy.
