      Its about how she feels trapped in her role as a sex worker. "Life in plastic" is about both how she's changed her appearance so much she doesnt recognize herself anymore, and how she feels as though she has stagnated. Ken is a John, in this case.

      To be fair, most of them probably weren't old enough to see the dance music craze of the early 90's and the way it mixed with mid 90's irony to create this song. Most people never get when a song is ironic because they tune out the words.

    • @jcrocks6698
      @jcrocks6698 Před 4 lety +173

      The original seemed much more of a celebration of that culture than a criticism. It was satire, but not necessarily the direct social commentary of this version.

    • @morganrobinson8042
      @morganrobinson8042 Před 4 lety +132

      @DeadLittlePunkDoll 97, but it borrows heavily from the earlier dance music craze. It exists as a sarcastic parody of the artificial peppiness of that song and lifestyle. And possibly the emptiness of the classic girl's toy as a symbolic representation of beauty.

      Ah, yes, but as other commenters have remarked, Ken sounds like an abusive partner. So, while Barbie's observations are a cry for help coming from a desperate individual at odds with society in general, and her partner in particular, Ken sounds like a soulless monster who solves his inner turmoil by turning it on his partner in the form of unwanted sexual advances and compulsive partying, of the "you better smile, doll, or else!" variety.

    Sounds like two people having a existential crisis. Barbie is realizing that her life and relationships are a plastic facsimile of a happy life. Ken has also or is realizing the same thing. but is trying to desperately block it out with partying. It could almost be a reprise of the original song. Her and ken start out excited and having fun in the original, but as the party dies down and the alcohol withers away there left their own crippling depression.

      Westley Breitmeyer Now that I reviewed the lyrics again, you could even argue one of the messages is about plastic consumption. “Life In plastic, it’s fantastic” to me has an ironic streak to it. “If you say I’m always yours” seems to criticize the throwaway culture we have especially with toys.

  • @Pip8448
    @Pip8448 Před rokem +8

    In this one, Barbie both knows and rejects the fact that no matter what she does (gets a law degree, becomes a doctor) All anyone sees is a pretty blonde who looks good in anything. So she accepts her fate and doesn't try to be anything else any more. Clinging to the few pleasures she's allowed to accept without judgement. Clothes, Ken, and going out to parties where everyone treats her like a queen.
    Poor Ken, who only wants the love of his life to smile again (even if it's a fake smile for the public) keeps urging and begging Barbie to get out of the house and let herself have fun again.
    And for a little while, each time, it works. But the downward spiral doesn't stop, and there's nothing else he can think of to do.
    They're both exhausted about the whole thing and Barbie is turning numb to it all.
