ONE HIT WONDERLAND: “Barbie Girl” by Aqua

I distinctly remember hearing this song in 1982 when I was a kid. That song and the song we love dirty laundry kick them when their up kick them whem their down.Both had sexual under or over tones. And, annoyingly bothe songs would get stuck in a loop in my head. Now, I'm told its a Mandela effect. Wtf?

ngl they have 2 or 3 songs that are guilty pleasures of mine, although barbie girl is not one of them for me

“I wasn’t a very creative kid”, didn’t expect that from the guy whose creative alter ego is himself, shrouded in darkness.

Todd as a kid asking adults and friends 'What's the worst song ever' is so wholesome

This is what our boys died for storming the beaches of Normandy. I hope you're all proud of yourselves.

I was listening to Danish Radio one morning (I live in Denmark) and I heard "Turn Back Time" come on. Thinking it was just another Europop classic that had passed me by I opened up Shazam, only to nearly spit out my coffee when I saw it was by Aqua.

Doctor Jones became an anthem at my high school because the principal of my high school was actually Doctor Jones (doctorate in education). We literally danced around him in a circle to Doctor Jones at one of our school dances. This would have been 2009/2010 ish.

Aqua isn't one hit wonder band, they are FAAAAAAAAAR from one hit, they were huge and fucking great. You can say everything you want about them, but almost all of 90s europop songs were great and catchy, they had positive energy and are actually fun and danceable, unlike 95% of pop dredge that came out from post 00s.
Also Kyle Gordon – Planet of the Bass (a great fucking song by the way) was inspired by bands like Aqua, and other ridiculous but great eourobands.

I definitely remember Mr Jones playing in the US

The description states Aqua is Danish, it's actually partially norwegian

In Canada Candy Man was popular, as well as My Oh My, Dr Jones and Turn Back Time. No where near Barbie Girl but still popular.

Skill not withstanding, that electric piano has sounded like trash for like 10 years. No hate

Maybe it’s the nostalgia talking but this whole album slaps.

Maybe it's me, but I always interpreted it as a dollification song.

That isn’t a head tatoo

This is a skating rink classic 😂

No one is going to see this comment or care, but as a HUGE Madonna fan, I felt the need to clarify lol. Madonna’s Material Girl was supposed to be taken as satire about the 80’s culture of over indulgence and consumerism.

"What do you do with it?"

The machiavellian intrigue of my childhood toy's plotlines:

5:52 "AND HE IS SO 👏 DAMN 👏 SMALL"

I vividly remember lollypop (candyman) from early youtube Naruto x Hinata slideshow AMVs

I can guarantee Mattel still hates "Barbie Girl." The movie used a remix of the song, which was just the sampling of the chorus. The actual song remained absent.

Its not good satire unless you get sued.
