Funny you should say that. Indeed I would get comments from audience and other writers. the Barbie song is almost bitter sweet though because they're trying to hide from their fighting parents. so it's not all sunshine and roses... but it's what a child imagines life is supposed to be like.

The truth is my daughter who was around 6 at the time, had two brothers who certainly didn't wanna play barbies with her, so one day she said "If I be Barbie, will you be ken".................... and that's how that song got started and why I would never change that line.

Thank you for commenting, you sure know how to dig deep into a song!

"It Mattered to THAT One"
