I hate dolls. They scare me, for one. When my kid was little thank goodness she preferred fuzzy animals and muppets to Barbie and American Girl. I’m not sure I would have slept with one of those things under the same roof.
So it’s extra irritating that everything is fucking Barbie right now. Yeah, I get it that it’s a big blockbuster summer movie, but does it have to be absolutely everywhere? I expect it in the Walmart or Target, but now I’ve even seen Barbie product crossovers in the auto parts store and Rural King. There is no escape.
Anyway, here’s your DUAN. I picked some songs that are about dolls or mention dolls or are somehow related to dolls. You play whatever you want, it doesn’t have to be related to dolls. In fact, I’ve had it up to here with dolls. But keep my limited edition Rowdy Roddy Piper action figure out your damn mouth.
Extra points if you know the Karen Carpenter/Barbie connection.
Mark Knopfler – Junkie Doll
Todd Haynes Superstar: The Karen Carpenter Story, I never got a chance to see it. But I think both he and Greta Gerwig would approve of this song by Louisville based band Hal Dolls
What If Barbie Got Fat
I had zero doubt that you’d know the Todd Haynes reference. One of the most frightening movies I’ve ever seen. I got nightmares from it.
My reputation for knowing a lot of useless stuff proceeds me, lol.
