So it seems Mattel has appropriated the song Barbie Girl by Aqua. Of coruse they've changed some of the lyrics, but the chorus is mostly still intact and it's obviously still Barbie Girl Oh the IRONY!

In other appropriated songs with newly changed lyrics news... last night was my ultra orthodox cousin's wedding. It took me a long time to figure out what I was going to wear as I don't tend to dress orthodox appropriate. In the end I decided to wear my floral print dress I bought for Dolpa last year (and wore to my SiL's wedding) and just wear a longer and higher cardigan with it to hide the fact it had spaghetti straps. I think it went well! The food was horrible. I feel awful for my aunt since I am sure she paid a small fortune. I am also convinced that Orthodox caterers can not cook worth a damn. Maybe the sushi was OK but it was nearly all fish. Also, you'd think people who were concerned with dietary restrictions would understand being a vegetarian, but so made of FAIL. The mixed drinks were good. ♥ My cousin looked beautiful and her friends did a spectacular job of keeping dancing around and keeping the energy level high. The band was so loud I am surprised no one on my flist could hear them. I couldn't catch all of them because they were playing with the tempo ~~but now I am thinking they might have done Linkin Park as well o_O~~ but the band was taking pop songs and giving them Hebrew lyrics that bore no relation to the actual song lyrics. The highlight of realization was when I suddenly recognized Dragostea Din Tei by O-zone. Now the fact that this was changed into Hebrew was particularly funny since it is not in English to even start with. The people asking for money, particularly the semi-crazed old man, were creepy.

Thank you
