Song Meaning (Interpretation) of “Put the Blame on Mame (Slow Version)” by Rita Hayworth
“Put the Blame on Mame” is a song about the consequences of society’s expectations of women. In the song, Rita Hayworth encourages the listener to look beyond what society expects of women and to focus on their individual worth and all the potential within. She shows that no matter what happens, women should not be blamed but should be seen as strong and powerful individuals with the capacity to make the right choices. She reminds women that it’s their own opinion of themselves that matters and not what society thinks. Through the lyric “Putting the blame on Mame for all that wasn’t her game,” she emphasizes that women should not be judged by the standards of society and that it’s okay for them to make mistakes and be their own person. The slow version of the song evokes a feeling of resilience and determination to stand up for one’s own beliefs, regardless of societal expectations.
