  Speaker 1: What a moment that was Summer of ninety seven. You
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: could not get away from that song. And I'm thinking
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: the summer songs because the unofficial start the summer happened
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: this past week. Yeah, Aqua Barbie Girl on LIGHTFM, Cubby
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: and Christine Our Trivia Battle comes back on Monday. But
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: that was our flashback track today for a Friday. And
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: it is funny that I did not know they just
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: broke up this week.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they just made the announcement this week. I mean,
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: you know, definitely the movie Barbie brought them back into
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: the limelight as well. And I guess they've been traveling
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: as a live band for thirty years, and they really
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: they had a heart felt goodbye. They said, we just
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: feel that it's time after thirty years together, they feel
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: they've created something beautiful and they thank their fans with
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: nothing but love and gratitude. But they say, let's go
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: now while we still love the music and still love
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: doing this.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: And a lot of people will always view Aqua as
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: a one hit wonder Barbie Girl being so big, but
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: I got to tell you, I got to like defend
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: Aqua a little bit. They had a follow up to
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: Barbie Girl and we played it back in our Z days.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: It was actually a really good song, but I don't
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: think it got a chance to really get big because
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: it was just overshadowed by the power of Barbie Girl.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: Everybody wants to hear that.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but listen to this song. This is I'm gonna
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: play a clip of the forgotten follow up pit from Aqua.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: This is called turn Back Time. That was the song
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: that came out after Barbie Girl didn't do anything on
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: the charts. I think it peaked at number twenty five
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: or something. It had kind of a Gwen Stefani sound,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: and no doubt was kind of blowing up then too. Yeah,
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: so it's just unreal. And then one more final Aqua thought,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you remember this, Christina, if you
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: were at this event when I got stuck in an
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: elevator with Tom Pullman and.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: Aqua, Well, I wasn't in the elevator with you guys,
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: that's for sure.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: We did an event at a bowling alley, and I
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: forgot what it.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: Was we did. I remember doing bowling for soup at
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: a bowling alley. But okay, yes.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: They were there too.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: You might have been there, so yeah, I was there.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: I just wasn't in the elevator with you kids.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: And we had a bunch of winners. Yeah, and we
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: would bowl and then like Aqua performed, right, and we
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: were in Aqua's dressing room, me and Tom Pullman, you know,
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: the big wig here at iHeart Radio, and Sharon Dasterer
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: I think, was there, and they were the managers. Like, okay,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: we got to go on stage. So we were in
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: an We went to the elevator with them to go
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: down only two floors, you know, just two floors, but
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: the elevator got stuck and we were there for thirty minutes.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: We could not get it was half an hour.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: It was half hour, and it was pretty tight, and
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: and me and Tom and Sharon are looking at each
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: other and like, we are stuck in an elevator with
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: the Barbie Girl people.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: And how did they handle it? How was the band
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: just making jokes? They didn't freak out and then stuck And.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: You start thinking about like air issues even though there
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: really are none, but you're like, okay, we're gonna run
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: out of air. But we just tried to laugh it
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: off and make the best of it.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: But I agree that we have We were out there,
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: the rest of us at Z probably like killing time.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: We made it now and Aqua will be here.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: I don't know where they are, but sadly no more.
• 3:15
