Right now you're probably like, "Wait, I thought Aqua disappeared?"

Well, yes. They broke up in 2002, but reunited in 2007, toured a bit and announced they would record a third album. (Yes, there was more than one.) Then they said they wouldn't release that album just yet and would put out a greatest hits (yes, apparently they have enough material for this) compilation instead.

"My Mamma Said" is a new track which shows up on that record. Yes, its video is incredibly ridiculous.

Where do we even start? Let's just make a list of reasons.

a) It's Aqua;

b) They're all seated at a dinner table dressed up, but there's leaves everywhere and they're in a room that looks like it could become the trash compactor in Star Wars: A New Hope at any second;

c) Looks like some of the food is white (this probably represents something);

d) There is a cockroach on the table (this probably represents something);

e) Lene Rasted and Rene Dif look mad at each other (this probably represents something);

f) The song sounds like Coldplay;

g) Really? This is the group that sang "Barbie Girl"? Really?!

h) There's probably a lot of deep, meaningful stuff behind this video, but right now my brain cannot process it because

i) It's Aqua.

Here's the video:
