Before it gets kicked out, a few points for Aqua, since they turned up at a bar here in Jakarta a few years back, and the lead singer still dressed up similarly to how she was in the Barbie video, which looked a bit strange since she was in her mid-40s at this point. Their bassist even got up on stage to play with the house band, although she remained seated.

Do us a favour and actually LOOK at your post before sending it.  We even whittled it downs to 13 songs or so for you.  
Is breathing a challenge?

As a note, Barbie Girl is 500% better with its Norwegian lyrics. Too bad it is getting lost in translation. It`s a Norwegian thing I guess.

Honestly did not expect Aqua to still be lingering when I voted today.
And we do understand the lyrics are social commentary; that's why it was allowed to last longer than artists like Peter Andre or Boyzone. It's still an aggressively annoying novelty song.

00 Aqua — Putting another Girl on the Barbie -2

 

This is a top 10 day in my life now!

Just got me some firestarter, put that girl on the barbie and killed her softly.  She started fussing—apparently the drugs I gave her didn’t work—so I told her don’t speak cuz you’ll be breakfast in just a little bit. We were not alone, as her husband Mack returned and asked me if that was my woman I was cooking.  I said I thought that was YOUR woman, Tiffany.  He said that’s no Tiffany, that’s just some wannabe.  It was a perfect day!

Apart from two shite songs, and two average songs. How the fuck Gina G has three times the score of Firestarter (even after my upvoting the latter) is beyond me.

Because some of us like catchy, fun, energetic songs?
