The summer of 2023 saw a rare demonstration of the war of blockbuster movies as Barbie and Oppenheimer battled for supremacy. Such wars have not really been seen since the 1990s which is the same decade that inspired one of this year’s songs: I’m a Volunteer.
I’m a Barbie Girl debuted in 1997 and it was the perfect combination of dance synth and bubblegum Pop which embodied the music of that era. Transposing this to Trivia Volunteers, the limitless enthusiasm and dedication to the Trivia Ethos is a paean to both the original song and the 2023 film.
Hiya Barbie
Hi, Barbie
You want to go to KV
Sure, Barbie!
Let’s Go
I’m a volunteer, (it’s the) forty-fifth yeeear
Back is spastic, need a flask quick
I should wash my hair, but no one really cares
Phone bank stations, all across the nation
Come on, KV, let’s play trivia
I’m a volunteer, (it’s the) forty-fifth yeeear
Back is spastic, need a flask quick
I should wash my hair, but no one really cares
Phone bank stations, all across the nation
50 hours at KV wears at my sanity
Call us up, answer right, ask Goat Posse
You’re a goat, where’s my coat, I think my phone is dead
Pizza here, pad thai there, need a napkin
You can call
Just to play
And we’ll say “that’s incomplete” (oh no)
I’m a volunteer, (it’s the) forty-fifth yeeear
Back still spastic, need a flask quick
I could wash my hair, but no one really cares
Phone bank stations, all across the nation
Come on Peggy, let’s get veggies (so much food yeah)
Come on NoPants, this is heavy (oow ow oow ow)
Come on Jamo, keep it steady (I’m so tired yeah)
Oh, wow Gypsy, this shit’s heady (oow ow oow ow)
Play from home, play from Rome, play wherever you please
We have teams in St. Cloud, we have teams overseas
By the end we’re all friends, staff the phone bank again
When it’s done, we’ll all go to the Carpet
You can call
Just to play
And we’ll say “that’s incomplete” (oh no)
Call again
Double play
Answer right “that’s 30 points”
Come on Otto, teams are playing (ah ah ah yeah)
Come on Fartkiss, phones are ringing (ooh oh, ooh oh)
Come on, Buster, things are breaking (oh oh oh no!)
Come on, Piss-jah, beard’s a twerking (ooh oh, ooh oh)
I’m a volunteer, (it’s the) forty-fifth yeeear
Back still spastic, need a flask quick
I should wash my hair, still no one really cares
Phone bank stations, all across the nation
I’m a Triv-ia girl, in a trivia world
Back is spastic, got my flask quick
I’ll go brush my hair, though no one really cares
KV station, all across the nation
Come on let’s go to the carpet (I’m so ti-reeed)
Come on it will be a party (okayyy okayy)
We’re all going to the carpet (ah ah ah yeah)
Gonna have a Triv-ia party (ooh oh ooh oh)
Hang on wait I need some real food
Well, I think I just farted
Man, I love KV
