Will the success of this signal the end of the Cheeky Girls' career?

I think that was already signalled by The End Of 2002,
I my even prefer The Sheilas to this, although the suggestion that it's a duet with Stephen Hawking the sex mad party monster gives it a new lease of life. They both look so halfarsed with their movements, like they're still doing it for fun in their bedrooms.
Nadia did it better with her Little Bit Of Action, but it's better than that one Craig released for his ill friend.

I didn't believe this was going to happen. Now that I've seen it, I still don't.
Why robot voice? Why is there only one voice when they're supposedly both singing? And my god the autotune has been abused.

Is that even them singing at all?

Hee. The level of ProTools on this actually makes the High School Musical soundtracks sound like Maria Callas.
Also, why are they miming the robot voice as well as the main bit?

It doesn't sound like them at all. It would have been better if they kept the accent and shit singing.

Why are they just jumping up and down all the time like how kids 'dance' when they're 5? It would have been better if they'd actually choreographed some kind of dance moves in the hope that it would catch on and people would dance along to the shitness, a la macarena, etc. Also fuckinghell, the quickness of the cuts, especially near the end, made me feel all dizzy.

Plus, wasn't the comedy of the original song the fact that Lene was playing a part and wasn't really a 'blonde bimbo girl in a fantasy world' - it seems so much more tragic when Samanda clearly are!

I have spent far too many hours of my life arguing the merits of the original "Barbie Girl" song as a critique of the way women in music are treated. The whole song is mocking blonde bimbos with nothing to say.
So to have this song recorded by people who the song was aimed at is either a masterstroke of subversion or a sorry, sorry state of affairs.
I suggest the latter.

All this excitement has made me want to watch 'Punjabi Girl' from Goodness Gracious Me, but it's not on YouTube. Bugger.

This really is terrible. I thought it'd be really bad, but in a good way, but the way they've tried to make the vocals sound good and proper ruins it.

There is absolutely no way at all they are singing on that, it's one woman's robotic voice.
The male voice sounds like the smokers from Chewin' The Fat

Apparently the twins insist that it has been their "lifelong dream" to cover Barbie Girl. I love the idea of their mother being in labour and the doctor going, "Mrs Samanda, it's a girl! And another girl! And they both want to cover Barbie Girl...which hasn't been written yet."

Apparently this isn't selling well, which is a good thing.

I actually don't hate it. It's like a cross between the opening of Bring It On and something to erupt from High School Musical... the latter comparison possibly only because they both share the same so-shit-yet-makes-me-smile quality. I like how it doesn't make sense at all, the chorus decidedly being all 'Whistle for a hottie' and the rest of it all we'resamandamandaWOOO!!!
EDIT: Do you think they have a writing credit on this song? I hope so, cause if not someone's definately in the wrong line of work.
