Week 53: Random 90s Week! #5 - Aqua - Barbie Girl

[@sirjohnmara]

They are from Denmark. Thanks for reactions from Sweden. 90's from Sweden are: Roxette and Ace of Base. But also all Denniz Pop and Max Martin when it comes to song writing and producing.

The beauty of the lyrics as they're only as inappropriate as you interpret them to be ;) Aqua were masters of the novelty songs, and their video clips were always wild. All their other songs - 'Candy man', 'My Oh My', 'Doctor Jones', 'Cartoon Heroes' - have videos that are mini movie productions

[@theblessed359]

4:54 she said "she can beg on her knees, you can do whatever you please". And Ken says "let's do it again". Do you guys understand what it actually means? 😜

[@richardsharp8276]

They missed every single sexual innuendo, and their juxtaposition against the idea of a young girl playing with a doll. That's virgins for ya! hahaha

[@ag9953]

All of their songs from that album were sexual innuendos, Doctor Jones was probably the most innocent one, Barbie Girl and Bumble Bees are outright about sex.

[@Galantus1964]

if they ctually stfu once in while, they would actually hear what was said... thers this thing, if you talk you dont listen properly

[@nikig2382]

Tragically, Greta Gerwig said this song will NOT be in the movie.😢

[@angelaortega1495]

Why though ?

[@nikig2382]

@@angelaortega1495 Beats me. It should at least be her ringtone or something!

[@TheFerrer13]

😮😮😮

[@dashiesbbgurl]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/qnjEZa2eaa9pq5Y fan made trailer featuring the song!

[@asahicute]

it is in the movie now LMAO

[@lunarquickstrike9016]

as a 90s kid, i love this song. with the upcoming barbie film, i really hope they'll add the iconic song

[@randylalrinsanga3078]

Amazing Song. Do their other hit song 'Dr.Jones' too.

[@WaGamer03]

An Aqua Week it's gonna be great! You're gonna discover so much about this legend group!!! I just love then"

[@Vodaph0ne]

00:43-00:45 That would be a bit difficult (to say the least) given that this song was obviously released over ten years before the movie lol

[@agffans5725]

It's a very naughty music video. Just look at what they are signaling with the magazine she is reading, where she is changing the meaning by how she is holding it, so it says "My Lit Sea Ho". This is not random meaningless pop but sophisticated Danish humor, taking a shot at the whole US plastic Barbie fantasy world. Remember that Denmark is the home of LEGO, and there is good reason why LEGO hurts by design when you step on it. it's a Danish "Viking" toy that is suppose to make children (and adults) learn all sorts of things through their own experience with it, unlike Barbie.

[@legnaevar]

A lot of people seem unaware that this song was satire on how the media marketed things to young girls, especially at a time when the "cocaine chic" look was popular. That's why Mattel tried to sue them, because it wasn't actually being kind towards their brand. It's funny how things have come full circle and now there's an official Barbie movie that is self-aware and criticizes the brand for the exact same reasons and also features this song! A lot of Aqua's songs hid social commentary under a layer of cartoonish imagery... and a lot of sexual innuendos... 🤣

[@alexjscki]

The best 90s song, that boy is mine

[@siv-annsjostrom347]

The girl is from Tönsberg, Norway

[@ariellascano9086]

La mejor canción y verdadera Barbie girls

[@shahjeelani2691]

Life was so good when we didn't know about the lyrics

[@hamodhossain4261]

1:53 easy for you to say , some one like me from Kuwait , i thought all these 90s hits were actually American songs , turns out 95% of these super star signers names Like ( Aqua - ace of base - getaway - shaggy - Eiffe 65 - Corona - Toy box - boney M - La Bouche - Dr Alban - Modern talking - Dj bobo - Aswad - Abba ) all are actually Europeans , and i just know that few days ago ironically by KZbin .. after 30 years ,, and who knows what else , maybe tomorrow i will find out that ( Michael Jackson & Madonna ) were actually Irish or something

[@solsticiotropical7499]

it's a barbie Time

[@birchleaf]

Mattel first intended to sue them, but then realized it didn’t really hurt them… it’s hilarious though.

[@Addy2023X]

This song has gone straight over your heads it's about sex

[@marcchristiand.austria6257]

It's about a masochistic girl and a very sadistic boyfriend..

[@TheFerrer13]

Iconic

[@Ferrera29]

Hi I love your videos but where have you been?

[@rickycassidy]

[@eviljeep]

Barbie Girl's the most popular song from Aqua, but they have a lot of greater songs 👌 Lene was kinda my first sexy crush and I realize today that she didn't show a lot of skin like today's women. Just a simple beauty 🌹

[@paulomendonca3572]

You should react to Alanis Morissette vídeos: 1- Ironic 2- Thank U 3- So Pure 4- Hand in my pocket 5- Hands Clean From Brazil 🇧🇷

[@crusher1980]

"Barbie: Made of plastic, its fantastic" "Kardashians: I agree". (I admit I stole that from someone but it was just too funny)

[@axelk4921]

I've watched several video reactions and none, absolutely nobody, reacts to the first line of text in the song "I'm a Blonde Bimbo Girl, in a fantasy world" and pays attention to LENE's "HAND MOVEMENT". .! there can only be two possibilities ....! 1. Innocence or 2. Cowardice to say what's about

[@tharneekaesler]

Aqua is from 🇩🇰 Denmark
