Today’s
song is “Barbie Girl” by Aqua. This song came out in 1997, and was very popular
worldwide. It had also draw a lot of attention because of the law sue with
Mattel, as Mattel claim that the band had violated the Barbie trade mark.
This
song came across my head earlier today, so I thought I will chose this as the
song of the day. Listening to this song bring back lots of memories. I remember
I first heard this song on the radio, in my cousin’s room. Back then, internet
was rare, it was still the era of ICQ (younger one might heard of ICQ recently
as they had tried to make a comeback by launching it on smart phone, but not
too successful as the moment.) There was no MSN, Yahoo! Messenger, Friendster, MySpace, Twitter, Facebook, WhatsApp and smartphones were for businessman (not to
mention that iPhone and Android does not exist, there were only Palm and Window mobile/Window CE). Really, I guess younger generation couldn’t imagine how life
could be without all of these, but it wasn’t that bad, in fact I think I
actually quite enjoy that life, people seems to be closer to each other.
Anyways, I remember I was playing Command & Conquer: Red Alert on computer in
my cousin’s room (strictly speaking, I wasn’t playing, I was only watching as
my cousin didn’t let me to play.) And Barbie Girl came up on the radio. Because
the song was so popular, it pretty much played once every 1-2 hours, almost
every radio show would played it once. Then I remember my cousin got their
single as well, and he played the song in his room. This song really brings me
back lots of memories. Now everything is so different, I have moved and hardly
see my cousin due to distance, my cousin has also moved houses, and now we can
only chat through the internet. Anyway, hope you will enjoy this song as much
as I do, I guess it will bring you back lots of memories as well.
