Aqua's "Barbie Girl" gone cello classical

[Aqua, 1997 Single "Barbie Girl"]

I've been a little slow on my commentary and in depth articles. To substitute, a brief mention of a fun video for those classical musicians who dare not listen to pop. Although a month old, the latest video to hit up some interest on social networking sites comes this one off of the MySpace video sharing site.

It's the late 1990's Norwegian-Danish pop band Aqua with "Barbie Girl" , only in a classical tradition. And a one, two, three, four, sets the beat of the lead cellist as all four of them grind away. When that song originally came out, I couldn't stand that annoying high pitch voice and bubblgum dance but strangely enough, that classical rendition wasn't too bad.
