Aqua - Barbie Girl

[AGinAg (37)]

Obviously it's nothing on Roses Are Red, but WHAT DO YOU THINK of the theme tune to Oppenheimer?

 

[Halli]

Novelty but genius. You have to give it it's due.

Dr Jones, Turn Back Time, My oh My and Good Morning Sunshine I prefer though. I don't know them apart from the SINGALS.

 

[Devil]

A genuinely fabulous pop song, even the whole package. Though as a ten year old I was baffled Lene wasn’t blonde

 

[Devil]

It still is odd they didn’t go with Lollypop in the UK as a single. It was huge in Australia which had a very similar taste at the time and I think that could’ve been an easy top 5 for them.

They had three number ones in a row!

 

[Inner Smile]

9 from me, it's a load of shite but I just love that era of 90s music

 

[Finn]

As a 90s pop culture moment it's a total 10/10. Purely as a song it's not quite that for me, but it's totally elevated by what it became and the WARM NOSTALGIC FEELINGS it conjures

 

[AGinAg (37)]

A re-entry at no.40 on the UK charts!

The Barbie soundtrack is dominating the singles chart.

Even knowing I'm more of a Doctor Jones, Turn Back Time man. This is justice!

 

[Pipo]

I remember buying the cd single on import at the time and feeling BUMMED cause the remixes were fucking awful I did rinse the hell out of the Extended Mix though

 

[rhythmbandit]

The first single I ever bought on CD!

Here's a recent performance:




Still, Rene would get it.

This sits alongside Saturday Night as a song with which I don’t have much of a relationship. Give me Snap! instead

 

[Finn]

Lol at the man swapping Lene's mic pack at 1:34. Not sure that'll fix things pal

 

[Pipo]

LOL that video. They OOZE energy and stage presence.

COME ON BARBIE LET'S GO PARTY

I guess it's no BOMBALURINA

 

[Sheena]

I will always love it. “Life in plastic, it’s fantastic” is one of those perfect lyrics that will forever be iconic. 10/10.

Ridiculous, considering how they had one hit wonder written all over them, that they had another three or four 10/10s sitting in the bank. I mean, Barbie Girl is good but it’s no MY OH MY (NEIGHHHHHHH)

 

[Iguana]

I thought they were great at Mighty Hoopla. Really fun!

 

[jivafox]

Obsessed with this video of Lene sobbing over their new resurgence

 

[RJN]

"I am an American today!"

Lene for president 2024

 

[Sheena]

I didn’t see THIS one coming in the marvellous 33 1/3 series, but HOORAY!

 

[straightorbroken]

It's the everlasting bursting point of bubblegum pop. I prefer Dr Jones and Good Morning Sunshine though. I really enjoyed the last album too, so it's too bad we never got even more on top of that.

 

[Joseph]

10/10

 

[Pipo]

now DEAD unfortunately

 

[GNL]

If only I could turn back time...

 

[hyperwoof]

They were still going? Blimey.

 

[hyperwoof]

I don't know how to rate the song, but I prefered Cartoon Heroes.

 

[wendy the Go_At]

now DEAD unfortunately

I'm genuinely IN MOURNING.

 

[VV]

Back to the 80s was a good song!
