I’m a star in the car dontch’a know? Why harbor resentment over the fact that I have to listen to my kids Barbie dvds over and over and over again? Instead I choose to embrace the musical genius that IS Barbie:

Kim says
hilarious! I love the raw emotion and is that harmony I hear? LOL Luv it:))
Mama Kat says
Nothing brings the sentimentality out of me like Barbie and the Diamond Castle.
Nothing.
Jen @ buried with children says
Very, very nice! I force my kids to listen to my music like show tunes and sing that to them.
But I do have one question, aren’t you cold? Or does your hotness keep you warm even in the winter to wear a tank top. ;)
Mama Kat says
Those are from the summer time. :)
I think I’ll start a new vlog “series” of me jammin’ to songs my kids SHOULD love.
Mama Kat says
You know…watching it again I just realized I think I’m missing a few other takes…like the one where I yell back to the kids to sing along with me…we made need a part 2 to this thing.
OHmommy says
It never occurred to me to download that from itunes. Is it one itunes? I am going to check right now because I LOVE IT, too!
Mama Kat says
Did you find it? I’ve never checked itunes, but I’m about to download it if it’s there!
Sunday Stilwell says
My hubby and I have the Backyardigans, Yo Gabba Gabba, Dora The Explorer, and Diego songs forever burned into our cerebral cortexes.
Its one of those things where if you can’t beat em….might as well join em!
Dawn says
You’re so soulful…:)
And by the way…LOVE the Hunger Games! Do you realize that we have to wait until this summer for the third installment?
Mama Kat says
Oh my gosh the Hunger Games was the BEST!! I know…part of me is dying to read book 3, but the other part doesn’t want it to ever end.
Coco says
This is why you have children when you are young and still have patience. I thought I would kill myself if I had to sit through the Thomas the Train movie with my grandson. It has to be the MOST boring movie for children EVEN.
Gina says
Beautiful. Brought tears to my eyes.
Well, from laughing. But still.
I find myself in similar situations quite often. It’s really sad when your kid tells you to stop singing, though. :(
Mama Kat says
More sad is when they all start howling….that memory still makes me cry. ;)
Katie (aka Kekibird) says
Great….now it’s all going to be stuck in my head and I don’t even have a single Barbie in the house. It’s all about LEGOs and Bob The Builder. Want me to sing it for you?
Meredith says
So very thankful that I’m not the only one singing along to diamond castle…or you know, Barbie and the Muskateers…
Thanks for sharing!! PS my girls ran over to the computer to see who was singing their song!!
Luschka says
Is it just me, or are there actually no kids in the car? You just singing to yourself! Lol
Don’t worry, my husband and I have a rather ‘alternative’ taste in music and now days find ourselves humming tunes about ducks/buses/farms and so on… it’s rather sad.
Mama Kat says
Alecia said the same thing. There are kids in the car you guys! You just can’t see them. I SWEAR IT!
Emily says
I don’t have kids of my own, but I find this hilarious. This is totally something I will do one day. Glad I know I won’t be the only one proudly belting out the words to my kids’ favorite tunes someday!
Sissy says
Asher just made me watch that 16 times. Thank you very much :)
Kathy says
I’m TOTALLY impressed that you know the words! LOL I didn’t even know Barbie could sing but I guess she can do everything :) Girl Power!!
June Freaking Cleaver says
Do ya think American Idol would have a Barbie week? I’d totally spend money to vote for you!
Jeannie says
Laughing.So.Hard.
My Isabella has ALL those stinkin Barbie DVDs and sings with them all the time!!! So like you, I know ’em too. So brave to admit it and tape yourself singing, lol!!!!
Becca - Our Crazy Boys says
And you haven’t driven over those DVDs yet?
Cracks me up!!
Shanna says
Awww I loved this! You sing well too from what I could hear! :)
3 Men & a Lady says
You should hear me sing Laurie Berkner songs. I am grrrreat!
Mama Kat says
I don’t even know who Laurie Berkner is. Is that wrong?
Dawn says
I have had a rough day today…THank you for that!! LOL xoxo
Alecia says
Ummmm…I saw no children in your car. You were alone. And singing Barbie. In a minivan. No excuse. No excuse at all.
Mama Kat says
There ARE kids in the car…I swear to it. The only seat you can see is the “extra” seat…for daycare friends and what not. Behind it you can glimpse the top of Maile’s head.
YES YOU CAN!!!!
supah says
i pissed myself laughing
seriously pissed myself
‘is diamond castle the one that’s hidden and the chic is in the mirror?
cuz i loves me that first song they sing together..the two barbie chics in the woods..
Michelle says
Damn! I didn’t even know Barbie had a Diamond Castle. Great singing. My question is how do you video yourself while you are driving? Please clue me in! I got a Flip camera for Christmas and am in LOVE!
Lisa Anne says
I’m so glad I have a boy. LOL I drove around with my nieces once and had to hear the Barbie girl song. OMG headache. LOL
vanessa says
I find myself harmonizing to Wow! Wow! Wubbzy! All. the. time. Every song is exactly the same in every show, just with different words. Seriously stupid.
Oh, and you are so cute! Seriously cute. Like, so cute I might not like you. But I DO like you, because you’re funny. And I can relate, girl.
BelovedAimee says
ahahahaha….embrace girl, embrace it. I do the same thing. Princess in the Pauper and Diamond Castle are our, I mean, her favorites. :D
ohn says
So, I guess this is what I missed by having all boys? (though one of them was obsessed with The Lion King and knew ALL the lines and ALL the words to the songs).
I will have to get a copy of Barbie’s CD in case I ever have granddaughters. Maybe.
Jennifer Senter says
That totally rocked. I should do that with the movie Happy Feet. I know it by heart and can totally turn it out! :)
Mom Taxi Julie says
LOL you are too funny! I’m kind of sad that my kids have outgrown the Barbie movies. I really loved the first 3 or so that came out! I gave them away but I miss them!
sara@domesticallychallenged says
I like your style…barbie style and all.
lagirl says
You’re a sick woman; but a funny one.
Someday the kids will be older and you will be well again.
Momlissa says
Love.it. That just made my weekend!
Have you checked out this one – The Barbie Diaries ? http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2998573&CAWELAID=142497433 I think I was more into it than my 4 year old. lol
Natalie says
omg. I can so, so relate to this. You have no idea. I actually had to stop myself from singing along while watching this video.
Rhonda says
Okay, I’m glad I read through some of the comments before I gave you a hard time for listening to Barbie with no kids in the car. Here you were blaming your kids and THEY WEREN’T EVEN THERE!! lol Yes, I did see the comment where you ensured us that they were, in fact, there. However, the car seat was empty in BOTH parts! lol
Admit it. You just LOVE barbie – with or without the kids! lol
Kat says
Freaking hilarious! I love it! I will have to remember that one when Mr T gets older…however…what do little boys listen to??
hotpants says
Are the kids even in the car with you? I can’t see them so I’m going with no. It makes it way more funny to think you’re jammin’ to Barbie when you’re alone.
Heather says
Here’s the thing…how can you NOT sing along to Barbie? We love us some Diamond Castle. And now I feel like I can sing it freely and without shame because I know somewhere in the world you are harmonizing with me.
“…we dream the same dream…”
Nicole says
Love it! This is so funny! And those songs are pretty catchy. :P
Summer says
Awwwww, I love it.
And I can totally picture me singing the harmony to your melody.
wink wink.
One Vlogging Mama says
*sigh*
I usually have special agent ojo stuck in my head ALL day.
That and mickey mouse club.
Yowza. I gotta do something about that.
Cute vlog. :)
We don’t do Barbie movies in our house for this reason….And I have 3 girls…lol.
supah says
I even came back 6months later – to show my sister. Cuz we watched barbie diamond castle last night … and she looked at me and said.
I like these songs.
LenaLoo says
Hey MamaKat have you seen the Jack Black episode of Yo Gabba Gabba (New Friends)? There is a little boy named Kainoa in it!
