Classic song that spent two weeks at #1 in 1963. The lyrics in the first verse are often true, plus someone may be ugly to one but beautiful to another. One of the prettiest girls I ever saw (in my eyes anyways) was someone standing in line at the store some years ago. Her face had been badly burned some years back but it didn't take what I saw as beautiful. I'm only sorry I never struck up a conversation with her.
He says from his personal point of view lol I love this song its so much fun to listen to! My husband married a pretty woman and we are still together40 years!
Odd yet funny background. Appreciate the lyrics! I've been singing this since age 4 to 24. When someone caught me singing to myself, they thought i made it up. Hahahaha!
I haven’t heard this in years face book had it on with guys goofy dancing! But it doesn’t play the entire song. So I came here to hear the entire song! I hate when they cut a single off without playing the whole song! It’s frustrating!! Thank goodness for you tube!
"Clean And Sober" brought me here. An excellent (and sadly little-known) film, with a criminally underrated, Oscar-worthy performance by Michael Keaton.
Splendid! You're in for one hell of a treat! Along with "Birdman" and "The Founder," Keaton proved to audiences and critics he could straightforward, Oscar-caliber drama! Thanks for commenting, @@gentrymagician!
I thought it odd and very funny that my dad loved this song! We had as an inside joke that part where they talk in the middle of the song: "Hey man, I saw your wife the other day, and she's ugleeee!". We would both laugh really hard at that! Dad's been dead for almost 21 years, but thinking about this makes me smile.
Lol. Reverting back to childhood....I thought him saying, "she'll always give you peace of mind" I thiught hevwas saying "she'll always give you a piece of pie". Thought I only did that as a kid, missing the real words. I used to say "Peter of the pack" instead of "Leader of the pack". My sister laughed and corrected me. Lol.
Comedian Robin Harris on his "Bebe's Kids" album: "How's that song go? 'If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life, Get yourself an ugly wife...' I got one. Do I look happy??" 😆😆😆
I am glad i gotten from hearing "if you want to drink a juice" trend to watch a furry youtuber's vid that had the song "dj quad if you want to be happy" to finding a random comment that tells the original song which is "if you wanna be happy". The lyrics are 100% facts because it reflects to the real world that ppl only go by looks but not by character, and my dad even said this to me. I am sure everyone experienced being judged by looks and not by character which is a sad reality to go through, but that's just how people are.
My dad told me. Boy. Marry the ugliest girl you can stand to look at. But dad. I want a pretty girl. Listen boy. Those pretty ones will run off on you. The ugly ones won’t run off? Yes but no one will care.
It's a song about how problematic & demanding attractive women can be & give an opportunity to ugly ladies. I don't see how is "misogynistic". It says to not choose a girl because of her looks & that's a good message.
lol it is misogynistic to find beauty in her personality / manner rather than her looks? “Men only see women as eye-candy or s*x objects” same woman: “it’s misogynistic to look for women that have more to offer than their looks”
so if the lyrics were reversed would it be not sexist? Do you know what sexism is? It is judging someone based on gender. This song says to judge someone based on looks, and to favor the unattractive. So how is that sexist?
This song should have way more likes.
Just gave it a LIKE myself. Gave you a LIKE too.
I don't care what anybody says. This song is great!
Yes it is one of my favorites 🎉
I still have the 45 vinyl record!!!!
Men want pretty women and trip when they turn up Looney tunes!😉
So much wisdom in this song. Maybe it's not Irving Berlin or Cole Porter, but it has a whole lot of truth in it!
This was one of my wonderful mother’s favorite songs.
lol
Cuz your dad took the advice🤔?
@@SIUU-RONO👈I christen thee...Burn meister!
Because ugly women take what they can get; few boundaries & EZ to cheat on😢. So sad😊

The truth is there is something in the words of the song. I really liked the song and the beat.

I just added it to my watch list.

My son was little and belted out "do you love me baby" to "dude looks like a lady" in walnart.
What a great record
It doesn’t matter how you look on the outside all it matters is what’s on the inside
I LOVE THE MUSIC.
That song takes me back to my youth in the 60's when media wasn't "politically correct" like it is today.
Love this jam
Songs great and true
"ONE WHO PLANTS GRAPES

AFRICAN
PROVERB
No matter how drop-dead gorgeous she might be, someone somewhere is sick of her game. So from my personal point of view :)
Just because they’re good 😊 looking that doesn’t mean that they’re nice 😊
Ugly women can be mean too.
這首歌很有趣！
Comedian Robin Harris on his "Bebe's Kids" album:
"How's that song go?
'If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life,
Get yourself an ugly wife...'
I got one.
Do I look happy??"
😆😆😆
LMAO 🤣 🤣 🤣
Sooooo true

Such a wonderful beat, the lyrics, nah.
Beauty may only be skin deep, but ugly goes to the bone 🦴.
Beauty fades away, but ugly holds on!
I play this after I finish harvesting all of my citrus trees after a real bumper crop to celebrate
Lemon Anthem🍋!

Listen boy. Those pretty ones will run off on you.
The ugly ones won’t run off?
Yes but no one will care.
Lemon party

Its misogynic but I really love this song
It's the truth and I'm a girl.
It's a song about how problematic & demanding attractive women can be & give an opportunity to ugly ladies. I don't see how is "misogynistic". It says to not choose a girl because of her looks & that's a good message.

To Stefani Germanota 👸♈🇮🇹🇺🇸🧹🔮,
Hi dear 💖💖💖💖.
Love Mars DCXLIV 🤴♍🇺🇸🇮🇹🏴☠️🦇🧹🐢🔮.
🤪
🤣😂🤣😂
I might be an ugly woman but I don't cook either, baby!
no one is ugly. There is only attractive and not so attractive.
So sexist but true
Lol crazy how a song so wrong sound so good
Nothing sexist about this song at all
so if the lyrics were reversed would it be not sexist? Do you know what sexism is? It is judging someone based on gender. This song says to judge someone based on looks, and to favor the unattractive. So how is that sexist?
😂
I always thought it was "though her face is as ugly as a watch / take it from me she's a better catch"
To me that seems better still.
