Twelve years ago, Danish pop group Aqua took the world by storm with their song, "Barbie Girl". I'm proud to say, that even though the Wikipedia entry doesn't mention it, I was told at the time - by reps from MCA records, as well as independent promoters who were working the song, that the radio station I worked at, C-89.5 FM, was the first station in the U.S. to play it!
They had several follow-up singles, some of which were very good, but sadly were only hits everywhere other than the U.S. Particularly, the lead single from their second album, a song called "Cartoon Heroes" was outstanding!
Then they broke up, disappeared, etc... But recently they announced a reunion tour, greatest hits package, and most importantly, A NEW SINGLE!!!
As if they were going straight for my heart, the new song is called "Back To The '80s."
And I love it. I was liking it already, but when I heard the lines, "Back when M&M's were just a snack, When Michael Jackson's skin was black..." I was hooked.
Welcome Back, Aqua!
I LOVED it. I would be very happy if someone who is good at that kind of thing would e-mail it to me.
ReplyDeleteHmm, now do I know anyone like that?
I had that black and orange swimsuit. I totally forgot about those.
