Aqua!
 

wow..Im jelous, i never bought it i was too poor at the time, isnt republica the women that did that other song?

I used to fuckin' LOVE Republica!! The soundtrack to my mid-teen years. *sniff* Good times.

I never owned the Aqua album, but my favourite single was Turn Back Time.

No... No, no, NO! Are you guys serious?! This is the band that was responsible for making the late 90's here a living hell for anyone in the proximity of a radio. Who wrote some of the most annoying dance-pop songs since Ace of Base. Whose lead singer (from Norway) had the most creepily robo-childish voice ever, and still to this day haunts the tabloid media with her affairs and pointless musical projects. And you actually bought the album?

I like you Santarea, but you definitely have a sick and twisted side that scares me a wee bit...

*Is mortally offended* They rock..the 90's was known for trashy pop take the vengaboys for instance now they were worse! Although i must confess to owning an album

No, they don't "rock". There's nothing even remotely "rock" about Aqua. It's two Danish guys programming simple beats and sugar-coated rave synths tailored for maximum radio-friendliness and child-marketing potential, with a scantily clad "babe" to sing the songs through an Auto-tune machine. Nothing more than a brightly coloured marketing ploy that at most was funny to listened to ironically for two minutes at a party in 2002. No more!

Thats why its good because its so corny...and you know that i meant rock as in good, jesus you'd have to be really stupid to classify them as rock

Nemesis, I know you didn't mean "rock" as in the musical style... I just went off on a tangent.

Let's just say I'm one of those people who think humour and music generally don't mix, especially when the music is so garishly awful it makes my brain want to vomit.

That aside, Santarea, if there is a certain nostalgia associated with it, I understand your affinity for it a bit more.

Edit! Simulpost! Confusion!

And yes, I love it, Santarea. Your sick and twisted side, that is. :D

yer i wasnt arguing that the band are really good or anything i just happen to like that one song

Rammstein made a cool version of Barbie Girl. It's the only way I'll listen to that song. I do like some Aqua. Same reasons as Santarea really. It reminds me of my last year in school, but art class mostly. Our teacher let us listen to the raido and we always fought over which station to listen to. Sadly, the "popular" girls usually won so we listened to Barbie Girl a lot.

hmmmm...one of my good friends in high school loved aqua.

she ended up in a mental institute for two years.

coincidence???

I think not..

*twitch*

One of my male ex-roomates, used to do a whole LOT of Meth and go on a manic cleaning frenzy with Barbie Girl on repeat at painful ear-bleeding decibels.

Oh the horror.

You mean AQUA TEAM from [ADULTSWIM].... ohhhh those guys are great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.... hey they rock!!!....

Huuyyy you meant the Barbie girl, Imagination lalalalalalililelelyyyluuu, that one, yeah I know only that song, from waaay back!!!.

Anyways, AdultSwim is worth digging!, In cartoonNetwork from 11pm to 6 am M-THUR SAT-SUND yeah, watch it guys...

NATI

Also it's Aqua TEEN. Not team. I hate that show...it's weird, my friends talk about it and I laugh, but if I try watching it I won't even crack a smile.

Rammstein made a cover of Barbie Girl? How could I have ever missed that?

I miss being a child in the 90s. *sigh*
Good times, good times.

Yeah. They don't make kids' TV like they used to. (Thundercats anyone? Captain Planet?) Or maybe they do, and it just seemed better when I was a kid...

I usually adore music, and I'm pretty tolerant of most music that comes on the radio (although I believe that gangsta rap should be outlawed, personally), but that is the only song that I've ever heard that made me want to destroy any sound system that I found it playing on.
A one-time friend of mine really tested my patience when she bought that album. She played that damn song over and over and over, and it took everything I had in me not to rip that fucking CD out of her player, break it in two, and throw it out the damn window!

*shock and heavy sigh*
