A Barbie World

The Margot Robbie movie "Barbie" --

starring humans as the iconic dolls Barbie

and Ken (Ryan Gosling) -- was theatrically released

this weekend to favorable reviews and

record box office.


For some, the release stirs memories of

the Barbie song that became a worldwide hit

after being released a generation ago....


I'm a Barbie girl in a Barbie world

Life in plastic, it's fantastic.

You can touch my hair, undress me everywhere.

Imagination, life is your creation...


Refrain: Come on Barbie, let's go party.

Ooh-ah-ooh

Come on Barbie, let's go party.


I'm a blonde bimbo girl in a fantasy world

Dress me up, make it tight,

I'm your dolly....

The Barbie song (available for view on YouYube)

became a worldwide hit following its release in

1997 by the Danish-Norwegian Europop band Aqua.
