Barbie movie will not have hit Barbie song from Aqua, fans disappointed

For decades, people have dreamed of living in the perfect Barbie world. And now, with the upcoming release of Greta Gerwig's Barbie movie, starring Margot Robbie, fans are eagerly awaiting the chance to see their beloved blonde bombshell go on a new adventure. But there's one thing missing from the movie's teaser trailer that has fans feeling a little disappointed: Aqua's 1997 hit song "Barbie Girl."

As it turns out, "Barbie Girl" won't be featured in the film at all, according to Ulrich Møller-Jørgensen, the manager of Aqua frontwoman Lene Nystrøm. While the reason for this decision is unclear, it's worth noting that the song and the toy brand behind Barbie have had some legal issues in the past. But even without the inclusion of "Barbie Girl," there's no denying that the song could have been a huge asset to the film's marketing. After all, who doesn't love a catchy song in a commercial or trailer?

But beyond the catchy tunes, both "Barbie Girl" and Barbie as a brand have faced criticism for perpetuating harmful stereotypes. The song's lyrics, were seen as a nod to Barbie's reputation as a sexualized and unrealistic role model. However, in recent years, the Barbie brand has made an effort to become a more positive influence on kids, and it seems that Greta Gerwig's Barbie movie is following in this feminist vein.


The trailer hints at the film's portrayal of diversity and rejection of harmful gender roles, as well as the rejection of the expectation of motherhood for women. While "Barbie Girl" satirizes American commercialism and the sexualization of feminine people in the media, the film looks like it will do the same, poking fun at the harmful stereotypes often associated with the Barbie toy.

It does seem that some part of the hit Aqua song from 1997, may still find some place in the movie, perhaps some satirical elements of the song.


But despite the exclusion of "Barbie Girl," fans of the Barbie brand can still look forward to a highly-anticipated and potentially hilarious movie. With Margot Robbie at the helm, Greta Gerwig's Barbie is sure to be a hit, even without the inclusion of Aqua's beloved song. Whether or not "Barbie Girl" will make a surprise appearance in the film remains to be seen, but either way, fans can't wait to see what this new adventure has in store for their favorite blonde bombshell.
