When I was a child this was a children's party song and every little girl sang this.

Doctor Jones by them is another of my favourites. 😂❤️🇬🇧 Also Ken did succeed as I learned that René and Lene were in a relationship at the time recently.

This was a real song that was played on the radio quite frequently. It was pretty popular. Mattel (owner of Barbie) did not love it. They sued MCA records for trademark infringement. MCA countersued Mattel for defamation. I can’t recall exactly why but I think they made some pretrial statements about pirating their IP. Anyway the 9th Circuit decision is one of my favorite published opinions. The court literally calls them “Copyright Godzilla” and “Trademark King Kong” and finds that there was no trademark infringement or defamation and the last line of the opinion says “The parties are advised to chill.” 🤣🤣🤣

“This is not a kids song” I heard this song in 2001 or 2002 when is was 11 or 12. The damage is already done. But back then I didn’t pick up on that it was sexual.

[@redmeghixtape410]

At 12 you didnt pick up on that? I was sheltered and still picked up on that, it was mocking hypersexuality and bimbos yet was a very bimbo inappropriate song. Was still a good song and aqua had good songs . Not for kids but at 12 i wasnt phased by the song inunderstood social commentary

[@ProphecyEU]

This version is the original song, made in 1997 by the Danish-Norwegian dance-pop group, there are other similar songs out there but they're the ones with the modified lyrics because Mattel the company behind Barbie couldn't successfully sue them. Later on, around 2009, Mattel 'barbie inc' somehow got people to produce another version which was featured heavily in commercials in the U.S.

[@broendbykim]

[@TaraWilson1010]

I'll absolutely admit to loving them still!! All of their videos are brilliant. My favorite song is "We Belong To The Sea" where Lene was able to use her regular voice and not her "little girl" one. After that one it would be like choosing a favorite child. I have an autographed CD from them, and Rene and Claus are in my FB friends. They helped me get through a really rough time, and both of my (now adult) kids and I bonded even more than we already were one summer. 🥰 I'll forever love Aqua!! 💙💙

I was in my twenties when this came out, so I caught on to the lyrics a bit quicker than the kiddos. That said, I actually like the song. It's catchy for one thing, but there's also a message in there. Some people think it's about the modeling world, but I actually think just the world in general. We're all living in a plastic world to some degree, but women especially, even more back then.
