The Barbie movie was already one of the most curious movies of 2023 after it was announced the film about the plastic doll was set to be directed by Greta Gerwig. After we saw the first trailer for Barbie it became clear this movie was going to be something quite unexpected. It seemed like the only thing the movie was missing was an excellent song, like the one that everybody knew that was all about Barbie, and was already a massive hit.
The 1997 hit “Barbie Girl” by Danish pop group Aqua was one of those songs that took over the radio, back when the radio was a thing people listened to. It could not be escaped a couple of decades ago, and it drove more than a few people crazy, but now that it’s been a while a lot of fans thought it would be perfect to hear the song again in the Barbie movie. Unfortunately, based on everything we know about the Barbie movie, we understood that “Barbie Girl” would not appear in the film. But it turns out that’s not entirely true.
