...But meh, it slaps anyway.
The tag is #HotJamsOfGaming, if you wish to follow/mute!
This is a series to spotlight games with good music within it, but I seldom hear discussed. My goal is for folks spend just a few minutes listening to the music here and possibly following up with the rest of the OST.

My random musings below
Now, we all love Barbie Disco. We love to listen to Barbie Disco. Great track. Like @Ryyudo mentions, it's taken 1:1 from a library music CD put out by DeWolfe. If you've followed me for awhile you probably know I love library music, and I actually tracked down the whole disc for this one. There's a bunch of good stuff on there that didn't make it into the Barbie game, so let's have a little library dance music tour.
This is DeWolfe's "Dance Hits", put out in 2001, and it's definitely going for late 90s/early 2000s dance music. Most of it's by Brazilian DJs Gui and Tchorta, which explains why it's so good - people who really did know how to make fun dance music. Barbie Disco comes up early as tracks 3/4, and there's a vocal variant that didn't make it into the game which I quite like:
Somebody is another fun track, with one of those openings where you know exactly what era it's from just from the first few notes:
The whole album can be previewed at DeWolfe's site. Like most library music companies, they never cycle stuff out of their collections - if there's something from the 70s, or 80s, or 90s you really just want to license and put in something, it's there for you.
