Forget Nicki Minaj or even Aqua, there’s only one song about Barbie that I’ve time for, the ultimate anthem for the famous doll, IMO, and it’s the mighty Shonen Knife with Twist Barbie.
The lyrics are so cheeky, a satire of western beauty standards : ” Blue eyes, blond hair, tight body, long legs…Bam bam bam, Twist Barbie… Oh, sexy girl!’
Here’s a wonderful live version from the Osaka legends. If this doesn’t make you smile, I don’t know what to say to you. Absolutely perfect punky pop.
