On December 20, theBarbiebros left one more present under the mojo dojo casa houses Xmas tree.
But how is this song Christmasy?
Is it the decorations in the studio?
The fact Gosling says Merry Christmas, Barbie, at the end?
This version of Im Just Ken takes a lot of orchestral notes from wig enthusiast/producer/insane person Phil Spector.
The albums sole original composition is Christmas (Baby kindly Come Home), performed by Darlene Love.
But the strings section (and Gosling-as-Kens despondency) reads less Spector-y and more like Harry Nilsson.
So thats one self-destructive alcoholic and one violent misogynist echoing through Kens Christmas single.
How very on-brand for theBarbiemovie andits themesof patriarchy and codependence.
