Aqua Making A Comeback!

Filed under: Music Minute

Hey, remember that song Barbie Girl?

You're lying if you say you don't!

Well, that little diddy was a jem from the Danish group Aqua and believe it or not, they are back with some new songs.

Listen to their new "comeback" single Back To The 80s (above).

What do U think?

      Excuuuse moa, Lene Nytrøm is Norwegian!

      Anywhooo, I love this song! Classic Aqua! And very cute!



    3. 103

      "When Eminem was just a snack"…Ahaahahahaha Gotta love that one.



    4. 104

      I hated that Barbie song…I think it ruined my hearing…I won't listen to anything else by them.



    5. 105

      She sounds like a 12-year old. But still I used to really like them



    6. 106

      pluss, the guys in the group are danish. The girl is norwegian.



    7. 107

      soo bad!

      Re: scissor

      Mine would get erased too…but I figured out how to do it ;) lol.

      p.s. I don't think Michael wants to be such a media whore hypocrite like Perez is anyways..shhh lol.



    9. 109

      like it :) )) totally miss Aqua!



    10. 110

      Great lyrics (especially for those who were part of the 80's and remember all that stuff), but her voice is awful…sounds like she sucked in a tank of helium



    11. 111

      I say snoozefest!



    12. 112

      this is a song that we will all be dancing to and singing at 3am and drunk



    13. 113

      The song is fantastic!

      I'm glad they're still doing fun music, even if they only release it in Denmark.



    14. 114

      They were more than one hit wonders in europe. In the Uk and Ireland they had about 3 hits, Barbie Girl, Dr Jones and a really good ballad that was linked to the Gwenyth Palthrow movie Slidding Doors that was actually pretty good.(both the song and the movie) In europe itself they were probably bigger…



    15. 115

      I think its brilliant its cheese - no one makes cheese anymore

    16. Pinar says – reply to this


      116

      Hey! They're not all danish! Lene is from NORWAYYY!! woHooOO!
      But..the song really sucks…



    17. 117

      certainly brings back some memories….. the tune sounds familiar (although it is manufactured pop so it's not surprising!) just another novelty song



    18. 118

      I love it. WELCOME BACK!



    19. 119

      Little twisted loan of John Lennon's "War is over" christmas song…



    20. 120

      no Aqua, please..my ears have bled enough in the 90s..



    21. 121

      AWESOME! Although….it does kind of sound like a Christmas song. I tapped my toes!



    22. 122

      hahaha not going to be a big hit bit still a bit of fun oh the 80s



    23. 123

      It is a danish-norwegian band. The "lead singer" or the girl, is norwegian.



    24. 124



    25. 125

      OMG are u serious!!



    26. 126

      Love it! Nostalgic and catchy!!



    27. 127

      absolutely ghastly!!!!!!!! go back to the 80's and stay there!!!!



    28. 128

      I dislike this song. Not catchy. Like a crap verson of We didn't start the fire, well same concept.

      They produced good songs before. They should only come back if they can do it again…



    29. 129

      When my now 20, 17 and 15 year old boys were little, we used to drive in the car and crank this song! NOW1 it was on, I believe…….

      Ww still reminisce about it…GREAT Fun!



    30. 130

      The lady is Norwegian:D Woho!



    31. 131

      I don't get the "back to soap" part….can anyone please elaborate on that? Thanks kindly.



    32. 132

      wow. they sound like chipmunks. i think its a funny song…when mj was black lol



    33. 133

      NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



    34. 134

      I think anyone that grew up in the 80s would appreciate the "cuteness" of this song. Catchy little diddy there.

      Best decade ever for entertainment.



    35. 135

      The 'back to Soap' I am pretty sure is a reference to a TV sitcom that spoofed soap operas cleverly titled "Soap."

      Awesome show, it's on DVD and worth viewing. Again, best decade for entertainment.



    36. 136

      Aw, I grew up with Aqua… And I still like the music :D



    37. 137

      How AWFUL…they should be as embarassed as the rest of us who are embarassed for them… :(



    38. 138

      it was o.k but kinda cheesy, they need like a MAJA come back song or two if they want to get anywhere…….and um unfortunatley this is not the song to do it with!



    39. 139

      I like it, but Im an old fart and remember all that stuff…LOL



    40. 140

      shiteous



    41. 141

      Luv it…



    42. 142

      I luv the lyrics!!!!!!!



    43. 143

      PEREZ! the band is danish-NORWEGIAN! OK?

      my mom went to the same school as Lene when they were younger and I that school is norwegian. all the guys are danish, but she's all norwegian.

      just wanted to make it clear for ya'll :D haaha



    44. 144

      Why they didn't put Madonna in the lyrics? She is the Goddess of the 80's!!!!!
      But still the Queen.



    45. 145

      I don't mind this song it's reminds me of young silly 90's me.
      so euro

      okay I loves it.



    46. 146

      Re: m.j – you don't know about Bananarama and Iron Maiden?!?!? Well, I guess I can understand not knowing about Bananarama, but seriously, Iron Maiden?!? Girl, you must be living under a rock!!



    47. 147

      Still love them. Can't wait for the music video.



    48. 148

      That's cute. I like it, in a euro-fluff sort of way



    49. 149

      Idk i like it kinda….Micheal jackson skin was black[[hilarious]]



    50. 150

      omg, that was awesommeee. sucks that it isnt on itunes..i want it!!! i love the eighties…



    51. 151

      I appreciate the effort, but it's a pretty damn bad song. And all the pop culture references? Those were NOT the things I recall with fondness about the 80s.



    52. 152

      The lyrics remind me of a spanish song… I dont like it. Its like going back to be a kid. Not a big hit



    53. 153

      Re: crazie – in reference to "I don't get the "back to soap" part….can anyone please elaborate on that? Thanks kindly."
      *
      Thanks! Soap was very early 80's though. Then again…the show may have been broadcast well into the 80's in their country since they are Danish.



    54. 154

      Love em!! Dr Jones, calling Dr Jones!!! Music should be fun and they had it!!



    55. 155

      They need to just, stop.
      "Barbie Girl" was one thing but this is crap that no one will listen to.
      They're trying WAY to hard.



    56. 156

      LOVEEE IT!!



    57. 157

      no - redo barbie girl and doctor jones - that stinketh!



    58. 158

      oh god!!!!!!



    59. 159

      OMG, i remember listening to them, i like it



    60. 160

      i love it ! =D



    61. 161

      catchy tune…..but shitty lyrics



    62. 162

      reminds me of that song…by bowling for soup or something. 1989?



    63. 163

      it was ok in late 90's but not anymore!!!!



    64. 164

      Hey, hey hey, hey!! NORWEGIAN too! Lene is Norwegian, let's not forget to embarrass them!;)



    65. 165

      sorry perez but this is no bueno!



    66. 166

      um ew, its horrible.



    67. 167

      seriously…I actually like it LOL



    68. 168

      I like the words lol
      It's not as ridiculous as the older songs but w/e
      Not gonna get much over here, maybe in Germany or the UK, maybe even Japan



    69. 169

      better than most songs in pop genres nowadays.
      and BANANARAMA ROCKS!



    70. 170

      Re: sass.class.&ass
      I know, her voice doesn't go well with the song



    71. 171

      Re: socialDullard
      More than 3 hits! Barbie girl, Doctor Jones and Turn back time were hits from their first album…

      The second was succesful too. Specially the first two singles: "Cartoon heroes" and "Around the world".

      Then they split up, but they were still succesful in Europe, Canada and Japan ;)



    72. 172

      That's the crappiest song I've heard in a longgggggggggg time. Sounds like Mickey Mouse on helium…and the lyrics are stoooopid. Go away Aqua and don't come back!



    73. 173

      I am from Denmark, I like the song, it is typically aqua. I think it is cool they are back, Lene's husband Søren has made a danish band in the meantime, and their music is awesome :)



    74. 174

      I dig the new song, but what can I say, Barbie Girl is still my fav!



    75. 175

      Iron Maiden came back, they never went away -.-”



    76. 176

      Now, how many times did you have to refer to Google during this song? It's not a terrible song but it's not one that would make me want to go out and buy their album.
