Coldplay cover "Barbie Girl"

busybeeburns · 26-11-2002, 07:57 AM

Coldplay continued their tradition of bizarre cover versions by belting out Aqua's 'Barbie Girl' while on tour in Scandinavia.
The group are currently on tour in northern Europe promoting their second album 'A Rush Of Blood To The Head'.

According to fans at the show in the Copenhagen VK Hall (November 21), Chris Martin and Johnny Buckland covered Aqua's 'Barbie Girl', the Scandinavian pop group's massive 1997 hit.

One told NME.COM: "Yes it is true! Chris Martin and Johnny Buckland covered 'Barbie Girl' with Chris doing the Barbie voice and Johnny doing Ken. It was awful and yet amazing at the same time but they had to quit one minute in to the song because they couldn't stop laughing and it really was a spectacular sight!"

:eyecrazy:

"Come on Barbie, let's go party..."

No, Ada, you're not the only one...
"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."
Awwwwwww!! Now I won't get rid of the song ever. That was one of those really bad but catchy songs...
