When Madam Pompadour was on a ballroom floor Said all the gentlemen "Obviously" "The madam has the cutest ASS" And think of all the books about Du Barry's looks What was it made her the toast of Paree? She had a well-developed ASS
What did Romeo see in Juliet? Or Pierrot in Pierette? Or Jupiter in Juno? You know, and when Salome danced And had the boys entranced, no doubt It must have been easy to see That she knew how to use her ASS
A girl can learn to spell and take dictation well And never sit on the boss's settee Unless she's got a perfect ASS A girl can get somewhere in spite of stringy hair Or even just a bit bowed at the knee If she can show a faultless ASS
Why are certain girls offered certain things Like sable coats and wedding rings? By men who wear their spats right? That's right! So don'tcha say "I'm smart and have the kindest heart" Or "What a wonderful sister I'd be"
They fit perfectly because the song was written with the word "personality" as a euphemism for physical assets. This is pretty much all the song was saying in the first place, the mod author has simply removed the sly wink of using a more acceptable term in place of "hot body".
Seriously, just look at that picture Johnny Mercer. He's looking down a little, clearly at a woman's butt/breasts, with a pencil in his mouth pointing upwards. Clearly a euphemism for his erect penis.
Honestly all you did was cut out the subtext from the song-- it was always talking about the assets, just with the euphemism. It was always about how if you're not smart or pretty, you better have another reason for others to like you aka, the goods. It's just as vile to listen to as a girl and I groan every time it comes on the radio.
Half the reason why Diamond City Radio kind of is lukewarm is that Bethesda farmed vintage music for anything that seemed semi-related to the game, without regard to that half of it was just subtext for good ol sex and love songs. And old music is often seen as cutesy or sanitary, even if people have been dogs forever. Not sure if I'll use this mod itself but it did make me laugh to hear you get straight to the point.
Well yeah, half the songs from this era are old men singing about watching little girls get old enough to have sex with them. If you actually listen to a lot of the lyrics its ungood.
The twelve-year-old boy inside me could not stop laughing listening to this. Well done. You've stripped the thinly-veiled innuendo from the song and made it straightforward.
Not to make the most obvious statement in the history of humor, but I'm like 99% sure the original song is a joke. As in, "Personality" is intended to be a euphemism for...well either tits or ass, who knows which. What I'm saying is you're killing the original joke here. This is a bit like saying "Why was the chicken crossing to the other side of the road? To get to the other side!" Yeah. Obviously. But when you put the punch-line inside the delivery, it ruins the whole effect.
Still, I'm never one to complain when someone puts in effort. I've made a couple ESP edits myself and made the mistake of trying a retexture once and to this day it makes me cringe, so kudos for the effort regardless. I hope someone enjoys it.
And no, it shouldn't be offensive to anyone. If you don't find the original offensive, then there's nothing offensive about this either. Frankly, it's LESS offensive because at least it's more direct and honest about what the really song means.
Yeah the moment I had my suspicions (think I spelled that right). Honestly, I find that this makes the song more tolerable than anything else. I used to f*#@ing despise this even more than Johnny Guitar, but goddammit I've listened to it so many times today.

And honestly, I think people were more fucked up and perverted back then than they are now.
