Barbie Girl Lyrics
Hi, Ken
You want to go for a ride?
Sure, Ken
Jump in
Life in plastic, it's fantastic
You can brush my hair, undress me everywhere
Imagination, life is your creation
Life in plastic, it's fantastic
You can brush my hair, undress me everywhere
Imagination, life is your creation
Dress me up, make it tight, I'm your dolly
You're my doll, rock'n'roll, feel the glamour in pink
Kiss me here, touch me there, hanky panky
You can play
If you say, "I'm always yours" (ooh, oh)
Life in plastic, it's fantastic
You can brush my hair, undress me everywhere
Imagination, life is your creation
Come on, Barbie, let's go party (ooh oh, ooh oh)
Come on, Barbie, let's go party (ah ah ah yeah)
Come on, Barbie, let's go party (ooh oh, ooh oh)
I can act like a star, I can beg on my knees
Come jump in, bimbo friend, let us do it again
Hit the town, fool around, let's go party
You can play
If you say, "I'm always yours"
You can touch
You can play
If you say, "I'm always yours"
Come on, Barbie, let's go party (ooh oh, ooh oh)
Come on, Barbie, let's go party (ah ah ah yeah)
Come on, Barbie, let's go party (ooh oh, ooh oh)
Life in plastic, it's fantastic
You can brush my hair, undress me everywhere
Imagination, life is your creation
Life in plastic, it's fantastic
You can brush my hair, undress me everywhere
Imagination, life is your creation
Come on, Barbie, let's go party (ooh oh, ooh oh)
Come on, Barbie, let's go party (ah ah ah yeah)
Come on, Barbie, let's go party (ooh oh, ooh oh)
Well, Barbie, we're just getting started
Oh, I love you, Ken
This song symbolizes privileged but intrinsically flawed lifestyle of the bourgeose class, built on lies, broken promises, and the systematic oppression of the proletariot. This is best illustrated by the line, "Life in plastic is fantastic," which indicated that the "good life" enjoyed by the privileged few is a flimsy, manufactured, "plastic" facade built upon the bruised backs of the working class.
"You can brush my hair, undress me everywhere" is indicative of the oppressors' perception that the lower classes exist only to serve them -- in this case, by brushing their hair and undressing them -- and the tone of the song suggests, disturbingly, that these de facto slaves should be grateful for the opportunity to perform such servile tasks.
You, sir, win. That's it... You just win. Thank you so much for this...

@AlienMaybe From a feminist / anti barbie point of view you're absolute right! But that's not what this song is about (neither pro or contra oppression). I'm with Firenze131 on this one

how can people hate this song? sure, it can be annoying, but come on! the mattel company (creators of barbie) tried to sue aqua for this song, but fortunately lost. this song is a mocking of barbie. that's all! it's just pure fun. the video is hilarious as well. lighten up people; not all music is meant to be taken seriously.
You are a frickin' genious. I think I'm pretty smart, but I couldn't have put that any better.

No offense but you guys are off topic. Seriously, this song, like many other Aqua songs, implies sex. I mean c'mon "hanky-panky"? That means sex. There are so many double meanings... It's not PROMOTING Barbie, if anything it's BASHING it.
actually i think this song is funny. jeez. its meant to be a joke. calm down.
Actually this song is a pisstake out of the 'plastic' pop culture that was rapidly emerging at the time they wrote it. It was around the time when 'manufactured' bands were taking centre stage who didn't write their own music, mimed, and all the rest of it.
Aqua on the other hand actually write, record, produce and perform all their music themselves (and live). I read in an interview that they were so fed up with bands all the time trying to act like they were 'keeping it real' that they thought they would take it in the other direction and try to act as fake as they possibly could, despite probably being one of the realest bands out there.
It all depends on what your into. Its more Dance then anything....so do bounce around to your SHIT. Techno and dance are awesome.....Climb outa your emo hole and look around...your NOT as cool as you think you are.
this is the BEST song in the world,it brings back memories of my Dictionary...i used to love this song when i was 35 years old,but now im 45 and im just starting to get over it...i lost my Dictionary the other day and so now ive lost interest in the song,altho if i had my Dictionary i would love it
well yall know what i like the song b/c it rocks out loud..... and i like it but also it is annoying in everyway
This song is about the freshmen girls in my dorm.
You're a freak. Get your own life. Hey if the shoe fits. Now I just need my Ken he he
