According to a new report, the iconic 1997 song with the catchy hook \u201cCome on, Barbie, let\u2019s go party\u201d is unlikely to be in the upcoming Warner Bros and Mattel-produced flick.<\/p>\n<p>Aqua\u2019s manager, Ulrich M\u00f8ller-J\u00f8rgensen, spilled the bad news to <a href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/2022\/film\/news\/barbie-girl-movie-aqua-1235254222\/\" data-url=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/2022\/film\/news\/barbie-girl-movie-aqua-1235254222\/\" rel=\"noopener\"><u>Variety<\/u><\/a>, and you\u2019re not going to like what you read. In his words:\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure>\n<blockquote>\n<p>The song will not be used in the movie.\n<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/figure>\n<aside class=\"hawk-nest\" data-render-type=\"fte\" data-skip=\"dealsy\" data-widget-type=\"seasonal\"><\/aside>\n<p>Yikes! Sounds like a hard no from the Europop band\u2019s management. While M\u00f8ller-J\u00f8rgensen didn\u2019t explain as to why the perfect <em>Barbie<\/em> theme song will not be part of the film, with some digging, it\u2019s clear \u201cBarbie Girl\u201d and Mattel have a backstory that goes back nearly 25 years.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Six months after the successful release of \u201cBarbie Girl\u201d in 1997 that had the artists selling 1.4 million copies of the pop song in the U.S. and topping charts in the United Kingdom, Mattel sued their label MCA Records for trademark infringement. Mattel claimed that the song turned the iconic doll into a sexual object, with a particular emphasis on the following lyrics:\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure>\n<blockquote>\n<p>You can brush my hair, undress me everywhere, Imagination, life is your creation.<br \/>\nI&#8217;m a blond bimbo girl in a fantasy world. Dress me up, make it tight, I&#8217;m your dolly. You&#8217;re my doll, rock&#8217;n&#8217;roll, feel the glamour in pink. Kiss me here, touch me there, hanky panky. You can touch, you can play if you say, \u2018I&#8217;m always yours.\u2019\n<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/figure>\n<p>The song may have included suggestive lyrics, but MCA Records defended that the song was a parody protected by the First Amendment and filed its own lawsuit for defamation over Mattel\u2019s statements about the song. The United States District Court in California ended up dismissing both parties&#8217; claims, with Judge Alex Kozinski ruling that \u201cthe parties are advised to chill.\u201d Check out the classic movie video:\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This week, the <u>first image of the <\/u><u><em>Barbie<\/em><\/u><u> movie<\/u> was released, showing Margot Robbie in a bright pink Barbie world. The movie was also given a release date of July 21, 2023. Plot details are remaining close to the vest for this project, but we do know that it will be <u>Greta Gerwig\u2019s third studio film<\/u> following 2017\u2019s <em>Lady Bird<\/em> and 2019\u2019s <em>Little Women<\/em>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Along with Margot Robbie starring as Barbie, <u>Ryan Gosling will play Ken<\/u> and has also <u>recruited <\/u><u><em>Shang-Chi<\/em><\/u><u>\u2019s Simu Liu<\/u>, Will Ferrell, America Ferrera, Kate McKinnon, Michael Cera, Alexandra Shipp, Issa Rae and Emma Mackey, among others. The movie not including \u201cBarbie Girl\u201d is clearly a missed opportunity, but we\u2019ll still be singing it anyway as we wait for the <u>upcoming movie<\/u>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you\u2019ve imagined Margot Robbie strutting in bright pink to the tune of \u201cBarbie Girl\u201d by Aqua ever since the live-action Barbie movie was announced, you might want to manage your expectations.
