Mattel stated that these lyrics tarnished the reputation of their trademark doll, and honestly we see where they were coming from. But now that we’ve established why the song is inappropriate, let’s talk about how Mattel, the American MNC and corporate owners of the ‘Barbie’ brand sued MCA Records, Aqua’s recording company, for the song!Īllegedly, they thought that the song violated the Barbie trademark and “turned her into a sex object”. So there are multiple things wrong with this song, from the blatantly sexist lyrics to the fact that it targeted young girls who shouldn’t have been exposed to something like this. Hit the town, fool around, let’s go party. To which, surprise surprise, Ken replies: Come jump in, bimbo friend, let us do it again. I can act like a star, I can beg on my knees. Make me walk, make me talk, do whatever you please Not only is the word ‘bimbo’ repeated many a time, the song also takes a very sexist tangent that makes Barbie sound like nothing but a puppet, who’d do anything Ken (or the person the song is directed at) says.
You can touch, you can play, if you say, “I’m always yours.” Kiss me here, touch me there, hanky panky… Especially when the song speaks about touching and ‘playing’. Dress me up, make it tight, I’m your dolly. I’m a blond bimbo girl in a fantasy world. Because when we thought they were singing “dress me anywhere,” the lyrics actually read this: You can brush my hair, undress me everywhere. Life in plastic, it’s fantastic! But then comes the more disturbing stuff. Little girls grew up singing this song, and we really need to address how problematic it actually is.įirst she talks about how amazing her plastic life is, which for a Barbie is valid, I guess. For years we thought, well, how dirty could a song about Barbie really be? Turns out, quite dirty.
