OMFG Of The Day: Aqua Are Back!

Alright, I’m going to admit this freely and without any fear: I love Aqua. Their first album was pure bubblegum pop genius. Barbie Girl and Dr. Jones were beyond huge, they were songs that defined the pop scene of 1997. As big as Aquarium was here in the States, their second album, Aquarius, barely registered on our charts. Well, hopefully that all will change as the band is ready to release a new album, tentatively scheduled to come out sometime in June or July. Below is their video for My Mamma Said, which appears on their greatest hits album (and also features some very David Lynch-esque visuals). After the jump, you can check out a brand new song called How R U Doing?
