Next song? 👇🏻Never thought I'd cover this one 🤣

[fariesz]

i don't know what is a harder truth to live with: that this is an unironically amazing version of Barbie Girl, or that Barbie Girl is an unironically enjoyable song to begin with

When your bass playing is so complicated that the song needs an additional, simple bass track to keep it all together.

[GoodToSeeYouToob]

“Don’t look up the lyrics”
Honey, they’re burned into my memory.

[wasgehtab]

That harpsichord and progression at 2:30; my soul felt that…you’re amazing.

[Why_o_Why]

Damn. This version of Barbie Girl just made you the dirtiest, cleanest, meanest bass player in the world. That was insane skill and effort you put into that. The piano variations was also incredible!

Johan Sebastian Barbie was one of the greatest composers of the Barboque era.
I Ken listen to his songs all day long.

[Lamerboy]

The Barbie variations/Johann Sebastian Barbie is amazing. I wouldn't mind hearing the whole song in that style.

This video is going to blow up once more after Barbie releases 😂

- This is the hardest song in the world, even musical experts have trouble playing it.
- By the way, I expect my students to play it perfectly on first try.

Dude... How? How does a person get this good at anything? Incredible. It's like seeing something supernatural.

I've played guitar for 36 years, and bass for over 20, and...I will never be that good. Not even close. Amazing work, sir. Mad respect.

[Li.Na.Is.Totoro]

My 4 month old baby daughter loves your music and watching you play bass, even calms her down when she’s upset. This song is her favourite!

[merla]

The arrangements are amazing. The only flaw in this video is that the bass isn't pink 😂😢

[kafiyo]

The Johanne Sebastian Barbie sounded so good. You should grab a whole bunch of well known tunes, Bachify them, put them out there as modern lullabies!

[endonyxoneaudio]

Now let's be honoust with ourselves here... the melody of Barbie girl is actually nice hah

[chrisrad]

This is fucking dope. I was in my teens when this song was released. It was unbelievably annoying and pretty much a joke to anyone not in the club rolling. That fucking bass just brought back some peaks and valleys bro. They owe you royalties from this point on!

[haeuptlingaberja]

Wow. 20 years ago I was so annoyed by my kids playing this song nonstop for a 6-hour car trip that I accidentally threw the tape out the window...but this bass tone and the arrangement are so groovy that I actually enjoyed it!

[MrViippola]

Little known fact: Johann Sebastian Aqua did actually write many of the great classical bass-destroying riffs we know and love today.

[calebfuller]

That transcription at 0:30 cracked me up! Seven flats marked on the key signature, then most of the notes have flats or sharps marked on them too. The 173/64 time signature is the icing on the cake!
