Tweet'Barbie Girl' Tops Rolling Stone's Worst Songs of the '90s


Posted Tue Sep 6, 2011 3:57pm PDT by Andy Greene


When people look back on a decade's music they tend to focus on the good stuff - but the people who lived through the time period know better. While the 1990s certainly had amazing music, not everything on the radio was Nirvana or Radiohead. Michael Bolton, Kenny G. and Vanilla Ice sold enough records to fill 500 landfills - which is where most of those records now reside.
Last week, Rolling Stone asked readers to vote for the worst song of the 1990s. And topping the list is Aqua's "Barbie Girl."
"Barbie Girl" - written by the Danish dance-pop group Aqua - is an incredibly polarizing song. Many people were offended by the portrayal of a woman as a man's plastic doll, begging him to "undress me everywhere." Others loved the over-the-top cartoonish video and bizarre sound of the song.
Mattel (the makers of Barbie) were less than pleased that their product was being presented in such an overtly sexual way and filed a lawsuit. The courts ruled that the song was a parody and thus permissible, but Mattel took it all the way to the Supreme Court. The company had a change of heart in 2009, when they changed the lyrics and used the song in an ad campaign.

Hmmm, on that note, I can only agree with Boys to Men's 1st song when they tried the rap scene. The lyrics said, "Boys to Men is back again." Excuse me, it's their 1st ever song so how the hell are they "back again"?

Kenny G is a pretty good musician and I can't think of anything of his that's annoying to listen to. But the only song of Micheal Bolton that I ever liked was "How Am I Gonna Live Without You". His remake of "When A Man Loves A Woman" should have been burned.

But let's not forget Ricky Martin's "Living La Vida Loco" and "She Bang".

Tweet^ A lot of times, songs get anchored to a certain time in our lives or a certain person. It can be a good feeling or a not so good one. We hear the song and it takes us back in time.
