Not Dark Yet, But it's Getting There

Have you never seen Barbie Phantom? HAVE YOU NEVER SEEN BARBIE PHANTOM?!?!?

A few years into the run the Canadian cast and crew made a parody of the official 1989 music video with Rebecca Caine and Colm Wilkinson, with Barbie dolls. It’s a perfect replica, down to the tiniest costume (made by the Toronto costume department), but the Barbie video is a LOT funnier… What makes it so great is that the costumes are perfect copies of the Canadian ones, the additional music must surely have been performed by the Toronto orchestra (it’s top level anyway), and there’s so many inside jokes there. Just a great sense of humour thoughout, and the better you know POTO, the funnier it is.

And of course, it doesn’t hurt that the parody also features the vocals of Mama Caine and Papa Wilkinson.
