But by the time you reach track 9 (which happens to be one of my favorites), you start saying "why the h*** am I listening to this crap?!" Aqua delivers a fresh and fun spirit that sometimes makes you feel like, believe it or not, that the world isn't so bad after all. When you listen to the first four or five tracks, you think to yourself 'what a funny cd this is- I love it!'. an didn’t want to be in a relationship with one person so I let him go then 6 months later we started dating again he’s real good to me and we are boyfriend and girlfriend he told me he realized that I was a good for him and what a big mistake he let me go in the beginning so in about 2 months we plan to move in together I think we’re. The nursery farce of AQUARIUM has a both good and bad effect on the album. Although a few tracks, such as "Happy Boys & Girls", "Heat of the Night", and "Be a Man", can be taken off the cd, it is an overall good record.

The lyrics are, in their own right, just a mix of plain corniness that adds up to the fun, whismical feel of the album. Part of this attribute is the girlie, tongue in cheek voice of lead vocalist Lene Grawford Nystrom, and the "macho" (notice how the word macho is in quotes) raps of Rene Dif. Both songs are a sugary (except "Barbie Girl", with the whole "bimbo" personification) and catchy. The record's standout tracks are the group's hugely popular debut single, "Barbie Girl", and the follow up single, "Lollipop (Candy Man)". Aqua's debut release, AQUARIUM, fights the music scene with Eurodance beats and childish, almost nursery rhyhme lyrics and topics.
