Rob Thomas signed off on Barbie’s “Push” scene even though he thought they were making fun of him
, after a visit to the real world has poisoned the mind of Ken with toxic masculinity, he and the other Kens take over Barbieland and turn it into a patriarchal paradise. One of the changes is even replacing the Barbie national anthem, Indigo Girls’ “Closer To Fine,” with Ken’s favorite song: “Push” by Matchbox Twenty—a song that is pretty clearly sung from the perspective of a misogynistic dick, highlighting the fragility of Ken and his phony dark turn.
As for “Push,” Thomas recognizes that it’s a song with some issues, saying that “the ‘90s was a time of manufactured angst” and that nobody “wanted to be a victim in a song,” so he ended up with these lyrics about “emotional manipulation” and how it’s “so much easier to find someone you can take advantage of than it is to actually put work into a relationship.
