The new Barbie trailer gives the impression that it will be fun for viewers, but some people feel it needs something added. It was previously disclosed that Aqua’s popular song “Barbie Girl” would not be featured in the movie. As a result, not a single note from the song could be heard in the promotional material for the movie. Because of this, many people on social media have expressed their disappointment that the song was not included. Because of HYTT Videos on YouTube, the question of what it would be like has finally been answered to everyone’s satisfaction. The channel has produced a modified version of the Barbie trailer. The song “Barbie Girl” has been inserted since it appears to be an appropriate addition. You are welcome to examine it in the following.
One of the most popular comments on the trailer reads, “The version we deserve.” Other people have liked this comment hundreds of times.
Another commentator mentioned that it was a terrible mistake for Warner Bros. marketing to make a trailer for the Barbie movie without including the song “Aqua” by that band.
Someone else chimes in and says, “This works out quite well.” “I wish this were the official trailer because the combination of that song and the footage gives me just a nice, happy vibe overall and makes me feel like I’m in for a good time,” the speaker said. “I’m looking forward to it.”
The lead vocalist for Aqua, Lene Nystrom, gave an interview in which she verified the rumors that the song “Barbie Girl” would not be included in the Barbie movie. Although the band could not explain why they were not contacted about licensing the song for the film, it is highly likely that it was due to the legal issues it produced between Aqua and Mattel. 1997 saw the song’s debut, which prompted Mattel to sue MCA Records for trademark infringement. In response, the record label filed a counter-suit against Mattel for slander. The parody legislation, which was defending the song, led to the dismissal of both claims. Despite this, there is a possibility that Mattel employees will continue to have ill will toward Aqua as a result of the incident.
In any event, Nystrom expressed concern to Variety that adding the music would be excessive, causing Barbie to have the impression of having “cheese on cheese.” However, it is important to note that these comments were made well before the new trailer revealed how wild the movie already is sans “Barbie Girl.” Nystrom felt the movie would still bring renewed attention to the Aqua song. Nevertheless, as we see that come to pass, it turns out that she was right about that prediction.
“I understand why they didn’t use it, but it’s going to bring us a lot of publicity, nonetheless,” she added. “It’s going to bring us a lot of attention.”
The film Barbie is scheduled to be released in theaters on July 21st, 2023. You will find the official teaser trailer for the movie down below.
