Aqua Warn Against The Dangers Of Color-Coordinating Your Dinner Parties’ Menus

There’s apparently a lot of symbolism in the video for “My Mamma Said,” the new video by the reformed Barbie-loving Scandinavian outfit Aqua—you’ve got the crisp white tablecloth marred by a bug, some mysterious milky beverage poured and sipped, blowing leaves, and lots of hard, longing looks. Fortunately, said overthinking doesn’t mar the song, a mournful little pop track about love lost and found that’s wound around a “Clocks”-ripoff sample. True, Rene Dif’s vocals are probably better-suited to instructing Barbie to go party with him, what with their being goofy on a level not seen since Einar Örn Benediktsson’s heyday. But I was listening to Robyn right before clicking “play” on the above clip, and I’ll be damned if the two didn’t fit together pretty nicely. [YouTube / MySpace]
