JEAN HARLOW, PLATINUM BLONDE
by the El Maximo Quartet
TIME 01:36
 
LYRICS
Platinum blonde is going to get in the train,
Tearing her eyes off the dirt dusky plain.
You might get in if you could tear off the dress,
sipping your tea on the China Express.
 
Jean Harlow, Jean Harlow, Jean Harlow, Platinum Blonde.
 
The shadow blonde hair, watch it catch in the wind.
Bern wore a hat so he could get it in.
Now the poor sap lies dead on the rug,
Hot shallow mat for a glamorous thug.
 
Jean Harlow, Jean Harlow, Jean Harlow, Platinum Blonde.

NOTES
ah, working for the "man". Compromising your time and your soul as a means to survive, as a means to support your lifestyle. Earning a wage to make someone else richer.

 
STUDY QUESTIONS
1) Why do you think that Paul Bern killed himself (see picture above)?
2) Why did Jean Harlow never wear a bra?
3) Why did she have to die so young?
