I was just wondering if anyone had:
Barbie and the Kens -- Just a Gigolo

Thanks so much!
Also, if anyone has anything by Crash Course in Science, that would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Just a Gigolo...the perfect blend of B-52's "Private Idaho" and "Girl U Want" by Devo [:o)]

There's another thread around here in regards to Crash Course in Science. A hearty banquet of MP3s was served.

Did this group Barbie And The Kens recorded any other song then, Just a Gigolo, I'm Not Your Stepping Stone or Falling In Love With Myself??

Did you ever get this song sent to you? Because I can help you out.[:)]
Also, "I'm not Your Stepping Stone" was by Modern Rocketry. Unless Barbie & the Kens did a version that I'm not aware of?

KYYX4Ever,
No, I haven't been able to find the song yet. If you could help me out that would be great! Thanks! Also, I may be able to trade if there's anything specific you're looking for.

Siouxmoux,
"I'm not your stepping stone" is the b-side to the "just a gigolo" single.

OK Gyroscope,
I'm mailing it you right now.[:)] Enjoy!

Was Barbie and the Kens from Sweden???

I recall either WLIR or WNYU in the early 80's playing somebody named "Barbie" or "Bobbie" singing some song about sex or being a prostitute.
And the DJ mentioned they were from Sweden...

Are you familiar with Alexander Bard's latest project, Bodies Without Organs? Creepy name but some great melodic tunes!

Wow, I'd really like to hear that "prostitution twist" song by barbie. I'm a fan of Army of Lovers. I'll also check out that Bodies Without Organs release.

Posted: **Sun Nov 13, 2005 2:08 pm**

no... I'm just researching him right now... not sure what Army of Lovers sounds like...got my Limewire workin!
Sheesh... he was born in '61...?... he looks damn old for 44!!! I guess the Swedes age faster?
Anyway that bloggers links for You send it don't work anymore :<{
