They're not dark or secret lyrics. They're blatantly about Sex just look at him winking and getting annoyed with her he's making it obvious he wants to get it on.
🤣🤣🤣I loved seeing you react to this James! There's so many 70's songs my Mom used to laugh at me singing when I was little that I had NO clue what I was saying! One comes to mind - "Hot Blooded" by Foreigner - it was my jam when I was 7. 🤣
Oh this is crazy fun, this should be good. having sisters your in for a treat, Blessings sweetie...Wrapped in plastic, its fantastic..., Thanks J. Peace
Yeah, lots of kids back then definitely didn't get what this song was actually all about. Mattel understood though and they did NOT appreciate it, but thankfully their lawsuit got dismissed.
But what's even funnier is that Mattel embraced this song later on...I used to go to the National Barbie Doll Collector Conventions in the 2000s and Mattel would play this song as part of the 'Mattel Night' that they'd host and 1000 people would all be singing along. I think they even gave us a CD copy one year
Oh my word. Haha, this song will be stuck in my head for months now lol. Brave man, fun reaction xx .....you know they could probably use this song as a form of torture for captured spies lol.
This reminds me of when I grew old enough to understand the lyrics of a song I liked as a kid. That song was Bobby Brown by Frank Zappa, some of the least innocent lyrics ever, lol!
You really should watch PostModern Jukebox's fun version of this featuring the incredible Morgan James. Her voice is unbelievable. It also features Tambourine Guy as a bonus. Great fun.
“It wasn’t for kids, it was just presented to kids.” I feel that man. I always thought it was a legit Barbie song, and thought it was used in commercials and by the company. I only listened to the song again after years because it’s a banger, but damn if it’s not deep and tragic.
Ava Max made a rebottle called Not Your Barbie Girl that's totally worth checking out. Oh, and Barbie Girl was on the annual Kids Mix Greatest Hits cd from that year! 😂
I noticed they banned “Nightswimming”. Thanks for trying James. I am just glad you got to hear it. Please try uploading it again in the future. Please also consider “Find The River” by REM. Thanks man. ✌️
Hahaha your reaction & smile is too adorable. I subbed immediately when I had seen your reaction to Billy Joel We didn't start the fire. I'm off to watch all of your reactions now.
It's the look of "Wait... wh... di... THE HELL DID I JUST LISTEN TO!?!" I love when so many people start seeing the videos and music that came out around this time. Bubblegum pop with razor blades in the candy. But in a good way! lol And as an adult looking back at the music that belted everywhere, when people say music became so obscene and lewd ~now~ I have to giggle. A lot of music these days that prides itself on being edgy has NOTHING on what came before. We just got away with it more.
I was a teen when this song came out. It just a take down on all the crap a young woman had to deal with from beauty standards (plastic surgery), air heads and the expectation that you are one as well, the dudes hunting for sex and trying to find love. And still done "innocently" enough that morst of the adult that would normally ban songs about sex would rather let it slide that admit to having a mind as dirty as the rest of us.
#JBLETHALTV I have 8 sisters and 9 brothers, my Mum had 5 sets of twins. My son cut all the hands and feet off all my daughters Barbie Dolls when they were younger, probably haunted by this song lol.
I've watched several video reactions and none, absolutely nobody, reacts to the first line of text in the song "I'm a Blonde Bimbo Girl, in a fantasy world" and pays attention to LENE's "HAND MOVEMENT". .! there can only be two possibilities ....! 1. Innocence or 2. Cowardice to say what it's about
OMG..I actually forgot how bad this song was.. we never sang it in its entirety., we just used to chant the chorus., until I just listened to it I had no idea that it was so explicit!! How dumb were we!!! 🤔🤔🤔🤔
I am older then you, so I did know what it all meant. We just had a laugh, because it is just making fun of something. But they did make other songs, like "Aquarius" "Turn back time"
Imagine my 10, 9 & 6 year old daughters singing this song at the top of their lungs while happily playing with their Barbies! I was mortified, but very happy they didn't understand what it was really about!😂
I vaguely remember hearing this song on the radio, but it was never my "thing" and I never paid attention to the words, but yikes. Lol I like the way they are acting so over the top in the video and hamming it up, but do not understand the message. Lol Definitely don't let your nieces listen to this. Lol PS You are adorable. :)
Please react to the official video for Suzanne Vega's "Luka". It has such a powerful message. It hit #3 in the USA and #1 in Europe back in the 80s. I know it will hit you sideways, and you'll have quite a bit to say.
Come on, it was the late 90's! It had childish appeal for the kids, and suggestive lyrics and scantly-clad women for the adults. I was 13 at the time, I knew full well what it was about, lol.
It's sarcastic. An anti-bimbo/anti misogyny track. Like Pink's "Stupid Girls". Or "I'm Too Sexy" by Right Said Fred. So many people don't seem to get the point of it. Trivia: the lead singer here once went out with the lead singer of A-ha.
This song is the true test of " just how dirty is your mind"; those who were young- and had themselves only just quit playing with Barbie Dolls- would have naturally associated with the clean and innocent side of this double entendre. It is only after beig exposed to various lifestyles and having developed their own sexuality that the more erotic aspects of this song would have become obvious. In this way the song has always put me in mind of the British sitcom , "Are you being served" which continuously used the ever evolving British slang from the late '70's to early '80's to crack tongue-in- cheek jokes that could be taken either way. I wonder if this song doesn't cause some people to chuckle or just be outright bothered because they are subconciously embarassed by the fact that their minds could even go there.
My sweet darling I would suggest that you be a little more openminded, like a lot of your commentators are leading you to see, you ah lose the forest for the trees
The innocence of James here, and we get to see 90s cheesepop break him! 🤣
Most of the songs we listened to back in the day if you pay attention to the lyrics they are dark and have secret meanings.
They're not dark or secret lyrics. They're blatantly about Sex just look at him winking and getting annoyed with her he's making it obvious he wants to get it on.
Dark? Wow, you must be frigid lol.
Awww poor James, not prepared for this song. 🤣🤣🤣 Great reaction.
🤣🤣🤣I loved seeing you react to this James! There's so many 70's songs my Mom used to laugh at me singing when I was little that I had NO clue what I was saying! One comes to mind - "Hot Blooded" by Foreigner - it was my jam when I was 7. 🤣
Swear to God I am going to keep coming back to this reaction. I am laughing harder that I did two days ago!
9 sisters... 😱 that explains so much about your personality, you’re the sweetest ❣️❣️
Aqua's music is so much fun to listen to!!!
Oh this is crazy fun, this should be good. having sisters your in for a treat, Blessings sweetie...Wrapped in plastic, its fantastic..., Thanks J. Peace

Don't worry we all sang this as a kid not understanding what it meant haha!
I had a major airhead friend and would always say, "Come on Barbie, let's go party" and she was like "Cool!"
Oh my word. Haha, this song will be stuck in my head for months now lol. Brave man, fun reaction xx
.....you know they could probably use this song as a form of torture for captured spies lol.
Same here man 🤣 I heard this at around 13 years old and never made the connection until now when I stumbled upon it at 37
6:33 that laugh cracked me up😂😂😂
This reminds me of when I grew old enough to understand the lyrics of a song I liked as a kid.
That song was Bobby Brown by Frank Zappa, some of the least innocent lyrics ever, lol!
Your face reaction is making me dying of laughter

It's a satirical take on patriarchal relationships and misogyny.
Love your reaction 😳😂

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😍
HAHAHAHAHAHA...I loved your reaction.

You are such an endearing man! I cannot understand how you have not been scooped up by some sweet young lady!
How do you know he hasn't
Hahaha your reaction & smile is too adorable. I subbed immediately when I had seen your reaction to Billy Joel We didn't start the fire. I'm off to watch all of your reactions now.
Good to see you back in the game dude! You’re my favourite reaction channel by far!
Dude just watched his Childhood fall to ruins.
U no you be jammin to this song yaself
It's the look of "Wait... wh... di... THE HELL DID I JUST LISTEN TO!?!" I love when so many people start seeing the videos and music that came out around this time.

Lol lol lol 🤣🤣🤣✌️
Came especially for that moment right here 5:00
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️your expression
my 3 legged cat Marty loved this song. C`mon, Marty lets go party
To me the song has always been about possessive guys who try to own their girlfriend and make them a product of their imagination.
I was a teen when this song came out.
It just a take down on all the crap a young woman had to deal with from beauty standards (plastic surgery), air heads and the expectation that you are one as well, the dudes hunting for sex and trying to find love.

The guy's hair spikes...WOW!
I'm crying 😂😂😭😭😂😂😭
would you give your reaction to Gladys Knight and the Pips - Walk Softly great ballad
Idfc if the song is dark as fuck is a banger my number 1 song for cleaning my room
This song is actually about how too many men see women! As something they can abuse and 'party' with as they want.
I was a barbie girl
*"This is a whole notha level of OH MY GOODNESS"🤣*
Of course he's getting angry sitting in the car, he's waiting to pick her up and get it on he's completely sexually frustrated.
#JBLETHALTV I have 8 sisters and 9 brothers, my Mum had 5 sets of twins. My son cut all the hands and feet off all my daughters Barbie Dolls when they were younger, probably haunted by this song lol.
Helen there needs to be a reality series about your family!
@@rossmacintosh5652 lol we had our own fame when we were young, we were always in the newspapers and magazines.
I know you enjoyed The Bangles. Did you ever get to their song Hazy Shade of Winter
Luckily my small daughters aged four and two when this track was a major hit did not ask what the song was about.
I've watched several video reactions and none, absolutely nobody, reacts to the first line of text in the song "I'm a Blonde Bimbo Girl, in a fantasy world" and pays attention to LENE's "HAND MOVEMENT". .!
there can only be two possibilities ....!
1. Innocence or
2. Cowardice to say what it's about
In a decade of music saturated by dour, disaffected and self-absorbed bands and musicians, Aqua was a welcome relief from the monotany of emo grunge.
Hey hey hey!!! Isn't that Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner in the green plaid jacket in the party scene at the end? If it isn't he has a doppelganger!
Lmao!!😂😂😂
don't u see the book said "my little sea horse" 🙂
I can tell you was enjoying that & dying to sing along!!! 👍🤣😂😂😂🤷♀️
With Aqua I never knew whether it is a parody or exploitation.
Too funny! Love your reaction.
I love your reactions. Please please can you listen to Summertime Leona Lewis Xfactor, you won't be disappointed 🙂
this song is a satire about how a plastic (FAKE) life is worthless,
READ BETWEEN THE LYRICS
Check out the cover of this by Alex Terrible. It is awesome.
I'm wondering how much Mattel had paid them to make this song. 😁
OMG..I actually forgot how bad this song was.. we never sang it in its entirety., we just used to chant the chorus., until I just listened to it I had no idea that it was so explicit!! How dumb were we!!! 🤔🤔🤔🤔
NINE sisters?!? I'm so sorry. I'd say the same to a woman with nine brothers. That's crazy.
hahaha sorry this traumatized you😂
I am older then you, so I did know what it all meant. We just had a laugh, because it is just making fun of something. But they did make other songs, like "Aquarius" "Turn back time"
Don't forget "Doctor Jones"! :D
Yes that's my song
Imagine my 10, 9 & 6 year old daughters singing this song at the top of their lungs while happily playing with their Barbies! I was mortified, but very happy they didn't understand what it was really about!😂

I love that song. I remember it was a big deal back in the eighties and opened up a lot of discussion about child abuse.....
@@christina9841 yes, but let's not completely unwrap it for him. He's so genuine I know it will be a profound experience for him ❤😀
Could you please react to Cry for Freedom by White Lion?
If he's reacting like this already, I can't wait til he gets to the part about "begging on my knees"
Edit: Yep, there it is.
I knew it was a sexual song. It's very cheesy but catchy . I was in my 20's back in the when it came out.
Come on, it was the late 90's! It had childish appeal for the kids, and suggestive lyrics and scantly-clad women for the adults. I was 13 at the time, I knew full well what it was about, lol.
Pretty sure mattell sued them
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I knew what the lyrics meant back then but i didnt care lol

Sorry, here is the link♥︎
☮️💙
Great reaction! Best laugh of the day. If you listen, it's making a statement. I miss those quirky, offbeat songs from the 80's
i hated this song growing up and i still do
I knew what the song meant but it didn't bother me
Rude lyrics to a seemingly innocent tune!lol
Why are you doing so few reactions,please can we have more?
😂😂😂😂
There's quite a few rock songs that I regret looking up what it means lol. I'd rather stay innocent lol
Nine sisters and this hit? Did any of them understand the very explicit sexual content?
So the Barbie Girl video ruined your childhood? Haha
😂
🤣
I don't remember this at all.
You are a good brother. I am a girll and i can't stand this one!!
This was extremely popular in England
It's sarcastic. An anti-bimbo/anti misogyny track. Like Pink's "Stupid Girls". Or "I'm Too Sexy" by Right Said Fred. So many people don't seem to get the point of it. Trivia: the lead singer here once went out with the lead singer of A-ha.
1:42 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂🤣🤣😂🤣☠️👻
They did a spoof of this called Jersey Girl also cringy
Please, JBLETHALTV, listen to this version of the exact same song and tell me it's not completely different emotionally! ♥︎◇♥︎
lmao f norway ..same her bro
Man this was a weird song. 🤣🤣🤣
I.never cared for this song- even when I was younger- I just can’t.. 😅 but here’s your 👍for support-❤️✌️
This song is the true test of " just how dirty is your mind"; those who were young- and had themselves only just quit playing with Barbie Dolls- would have naturally associated with the clean and innocent side of this double entendre. It is only after beig exposed to various lifestyles and having developed their own sexuality that the more erotic aspects of this song would have become obvious.
In this way the song has always put me in mind of the British sitcom , "Are you being served" which continuously used the ever evolving British slang from the late '70's to early '80's to crack tongue-in- cheek jokes that could be taken either way.
I wonder if this song doesn't cause some people to chuckle or just be outright bothered because they are subconciously embarassed by the fact that their minds could even go there.
As a Dom (BDSM) this is used in our life style for Dom/Sub as it fits so correctly. LOL Please no haters "As long as all parties agree"
My sweet darling I would suggest that you be a little more openminded, like a lot of your commentators are leading you to see, you ah lose the forest for the trees
Not a classic for sure. I'm ready for more Meat Loaf, Carpenters, Barry Manilow, Billy Joel, John Denver.,
