Barbie Girl
Scott BradLee's Postmodern Jukebox Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Come on Barbie, Barbie Girl
Come on Barbie ... Barbie Girl
I'm a Barbie girl, in the Barbie world
Life in plastic, it's fantastic!
You can brush my hair, undress me everywhere
Imagination, life is your creation
I'm a blond bimbo girl, in a fantasy world
Dress me up, make it tight, I'm your dolly
I'm your girl, rock'n'roll, feel the glamour in pink,
Kiss me here, touch me there, hanky panky...
You can touch, you can play, if you say: "I'm always yours"
I'm a Barbie girl, in the Barbie world
Life in plastic, it's fantastic!
You can brush my hair, undress me everywhere
Imagination, life is your creation
Come on Barbie, let's go party!
(Ah-ah-aah)
Come on Barbie, let's go party!
(uu-oooh-u uu-oooh-u)
Come on Barbie, let's go party!
(Ah-ah-aah)
Come on Barbie, let's go party!
Make me walk, make me talk, do whatever you please
I can act like a star, I can beg on my knees
Come jump in, bimbo friend, let us do it again,
Hit the town, fool around, let's go party
You can touch, you can play, if you say: "I'm always yours"
You can touch, you can play, if you say: "I'm always yours"
Come on Barbie, let's go party!
(Ah-ah-aah)
Come on Barbie, let's go party!
(uu-oooh-u uu-oooh-u)
Come on Barbie, let's go party!
(Ah-ah-aah)
Come on Barbie, let's go party!
*sound of a siren*
You can brush my hair, undress me everywhere
Imagination, life is your creation
Come on Barbie, let's go party!
(Ah-ah-aah)
Come on Barbie, let's go party!
(uu-oooh-u uu-oooh-u)
Come on Barbie, let's go party!
(Ah-ah-aah)
Come on Barbie, let's go party!
Come on Barbie, Barbie Girl
Come on Barbie, Barbie Girl
Come on Barbie ... Barbie Girl
The song "Barbie Girl" by Scott BradLee's Postmodern Jukebox is a playful satire that mocks the shallow and materialistic aspects of American consumer culture. The lyrics are written from the perspective of a Barbie doll who proudly embraces her artificial beauty and stereotypical feminine behavior. The line "Life in plastic, it's fantastic!" is a tongue-in-cheek reference to the superficiality of perfectionism and the pressure to conform to societal norms of beauty. The lyrics "You can brush my hair, undress me everywhere / Imagination, life is your creation" suggest that the Barbie doll is an object of male fantasy that can be manipulated at will.
The song's upbeat and catchy melody serve to further emphasize the irony of the lyrics, as the contrast between the playful melody and the dark subtext creates a dissonant effect. Listeners are invited to dance along and enjoy the song's upbeat rhythm, but also to reflect on the deeper social commentary that the lyrics convey. The song is ultimately a critique of societal expectations of gender roles and beauty standards, and an invitation to embrace diversity and individuality over conformity.

Barbie's voice and singing is truly awesome. However when you include her postures and expressions, it makes her performance a masterpiece.
@melbudomo
Yep and I love the three ken dolls. They're so good!
@robertvirnig638
I always thought this song was so stupid, but find myself fascinated with this version and have come back for many listens. Morgan's singing, mannerisms, acting, and appearance are perfect for this role and the backup singers are equally great, especially the guy with the tambourine.

Not gonna lie...it's kinda creepy too.
