High-pitched vocals, bright visuals, and kitschy lyrics made pop band Aqua’s ‘Barbie Girl’ a novelty hit for the ages, and the perky euro-pop anthem, which took the world by storm in 1997, is still going strong 25 years later.
The video has amassed more than 1.1 billion views on YouTube but the main question is will the song make it to Greta Gerwig’s upcoming ‘Barbie’ movie?
The answer to that question is no, reports ‘Variety’.
Which isn’t surprising given that Mattel sued Aqua in the ’90s and lost but it’s still disappointing for many.
The Danish-Norwegian group, however, is decidedly confused.
Lene Nystrom theorizes that using ‘Barbie Girl’ in the movie would be too on-the-nose or, in her words, “cheese on cheese”.
Soren Rasted finds the whole situation amusing: “We should say we turned it down. Ryan Gosling is not good enough!”
However, they’re excited for the film.
