Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm a barbie girl in a 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)
(Come on barbie let's go party)
I'm a blonde bimbo girl in a fantasy world
Dress me up make it tight
I'm your dolly
I'm yout doll rock and roll
Feel the glamour in pink
Kiss me here touch me there
Hanky panky
You can touch
You can play
You can say I'm always yours
You can touch

You can say I'm always yours
I'm a barbie girl in a 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)
(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 praty
You can touch
You can play
You can say I'm always yours

You can brush my hair
Undress me everywhere

(Come on barbie let's go party)
(Come on barbie let's go party)

Oh...




Ah...

Overall Meaning

The song "Barbie Girl" by Silje Nergaard is a playful and risque commentary on the unrealistic and objectifying image of femininity portrayed by the Barbie doll. The song uses the first person point of view to imagine oneself as a Barbie doll, living in a world made of plastic where everything is perfect and unreal. The chorus "I'm a Barbie girl in a Barbie world, life in plastic it's fantastic" celebrates the idea of being plastic and perfect, while also mocking the absurdity of such a life. The verses describe a fantasy world where the Barbie doll can be undressed, touched, and played with, but also act like a star and beg on her knees, reinforcing the idea of women's objectification and submissiveness.


The repeated phrase "Life is your creation" suggests that the Barbie doll is not in control of her life, but rather an object to be manipulated for someone else's pleasure. The call to "Come on Barbie let's go party" implies that the only purpose of life is to have fun and be frivolous, ignoring deeper issues and challenges faced by women. The phrase "Hanky Panky" is a euphemism for sex, adding to the overall sexual overtone of the song. Ultimately, the song can be seen as a feminist critique of the unrealistic and damaging expectations placed on women in society.

Is this a TV show?

Tommy S. Østby

Yes! 7 known artist, in this case norwegian artist, is making their own versions of the others songs, one artist in each episode. No winner concept at all, just for fun and often quite touching ;-) The concept is originally from Netherlands, and Denmark and Sweden have their own version, and here in Norway we've had 5 seasons now:-)
