Here’s another edition of the Thursday Evening Post. 😃

Christmas might be over, but it doesn’t mean the Christmas tunes have to be! 😁

Here’s my 2016 cover of “I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day.” 🎄

The song that I wanted to share with you this week is not an actual Christmas song, but it’s on my Christmas playlist! 🤣

It’s “I’m Just Ken (Merry Kristmas Barbie).”

Lyrics:

It doesn’t seem to matter what I do
I’m always the number two
No one knows how hard I tried, oh-oh, I
I have feelings I can’t explain
Drivin’ me insane
All my life, been so polite
And I’ll sleep alone tonight
‘Cause I’m just Ken, anywhere else I’d be a ten
Is it my destiny to live and die a life of blonde fragility?
I’m just Ken
Where I see love, she sees a friend
What will it take for her to see the man behind the tan and fight for me?
I wanna know what’s like to love, to be the real thing
Is it a crime? Am I not hot when I’m in my feelings?
Is my moment finally here? Or am I dreaming?
I’m no dreamer
I’m just Ken, anywhere else I’d be a ten
Is it my destiny to live and die a life of blonde fragility?
I’m just Ken
Where I see love, she sees a friend
What will it take for her to see the man behind the tan and fight for me?
I’m just Ken (and I’m enough)
And I’m great at doing stuff
So, hey, check me out, yeah, I’m just Ken
My name’s Ken (and so am I)
So put that manly hand in mine
So, hey, world, check me out, yeah, I’m just Ken
Baby, I’m just Ken

I didn’t learn about this version of “I’m Just Ken” until January of this year.

That means, I’ve been waiting basically the WHOLE year to write about it this December! 🤣

I LOVE right before the song starts, when Ryan Gosling says, “The world can have Ken’s voice, but only Barbie can have his eyes.” I can’t help but burst out laughing! 😂

I LOVE the Christmas lights, Christmas decor, and jingle bells in this video! 🎅🏻 I also appreciate the mentioning of the candy cane and Santa mug at the beginning! 🤣

The way it ends with “Merry Christmas Barbie, wherever you are,” cracks me up too! 😂

When I saw this video for the first time in January, I LOVED it so much that I bought the song right away! Every time I hear this song, it feels me with such JOY! 💚

Are there any parts of this song/video that you like?

May you be well! 💙
