Same! Saw them in Niagara Falls and was amazed at how many deep cuts they had in the set. Pretty impressive for a band many have written off as so-called one hit wonders. Calling You, We Belong To The Sea, Dirty Little Pop Song AND Didn't I all in the same set? Hell yes.

The track "Barbie girl" came with my MP3 player. Can't say I hated that song, so I just left it there - and added other stuff. One day I was commuting and saw two teenage girls, laughing hysterical - I mean tears, red in the face laughter. It didn't register at the moment, but once I got at the office it dawned on me: at that very moment "Barbie girl" was blasting from my earbuds. I must admit, that's a peculiar choice of music for a middle aged man.

Aqua has always been a group whose music I loved, but I was unprepared for just how energetic and organic their live performances are. When they easily could just mime to instrumentals of the album tracks, they perform entirely live with sometimes dramatic re-interpretations of their songs. For example, I saw them a few months ago and they did an entirely new, more uptempo version of "We Belong To The Sea" that was just awesome. Seen them live twice, and both times was blown away. Such an underrated group.

It's not always about being popular or big in the states. There are other countries in the world. They have released several albums and in my opinion have evolved into a decent pop band. Some of their finest songs are Around the world, Aquarius, Turn back time, My mama said, their debut album is pop perfection! Barbie girl just re-entered UK top 40, first time in 25 years!

I saw them at the SaskTel Centre in Saskatoon last summer and they are playing Red Deer next weekend... In Canada they are stars on par with NSYNC, BSB, etc and regularly sell out concerts here despite not releasing any new albums since 2011... And even then not in Canada just Denmark... They put on a great show, btw! Everyone should see Aqua live and ASAP!

LIterally, they are Diamond Selling artists which is a million copies or more here in Canada and only a dozen or so artists hold this distinction including Shania, Celine, Alanis, The Eagles Fleetwood Mac, Michael Jackson... The US equal would have been 10 million copies to put the cultural impact of that band into perspective... Also saw Alanis last year as well!

It was featured on the soundtrack to the movie "Sliding Doors" and the music video is very different from their other cartoon-esque videos, the video to "Turn Back Time" had scenes from "Sliding Doors" featured, and its set in an underground metro, which (from what I gather) is also a main point in the movie.

I was in grade school when Barbie girl came out. I wore my Barbie Pajamas in 4th grade for PJ day and was made fun off but a few months later, in our class talent show, two girls sang the song Barbie girl and were praised by the class. I, on the other hand, was teased for wearing Barbie Pj's to school for Pj day. Makes total sense, right?!?
