Song of the day: Aqua- Barbie Girl
Posted by Chris Flinterman
This is such a group which had one hit, which stayed in our minds, and the rest of the songs went past us…
And that is actually sad, because a lot of hits by Aqua are nice songs to listen to, the texts are quite good (I especially like the text of the song Back To The Eighties), so why do we only know this one song?
Because it was a mega hit, and it was happy, and it caused commotion. Mattel didn’t like the fact that they used their brand, Barbie, for the song. They went to court with it, lost, and later they used it themselves in their commercials! With another text, okay, but the melody was the same.
So, the “summer” happy song of the day is the song Barbie Girl by Aqua!
And vote for the Summer Song of the day Top 20!
