Let me preface this by sharing that I was in a fraternity back when I was in college 20 something odd years ago. For those of you unfamiliar with the American university Greek system, there is often a 'hell week' requirement before becoming fully initiated as a member of the fraternity. During our hell week, certain songs were played on repeat, nonstop 24/7. One of those songs happened to be Dr. Jones by Aqua. Fast forward to present day where my 3 y.o daughter received Barbie's dream house as a gift. It was her first Barbie accessory, and to hype up the moment I played 'Barbie Girl' by Aqua for her. This is where the fuck up begins. Not only is my daughter over the moon with her new Dream house, but she takes a super liking to the song. She now asks, and shouts repeatedly to PLAY BARBIE SONG. The song being by Aqua and thus incessantly annoying, triggers my PTSD where everytime I hear it I'm reminded of 'Dr Jones' and go into a trance like state, and keep telling myself to 'wake up now'.
TL;DR introduced my daughter to Barbie's Dream house, inadvertently triggered repressed traumatic pledging memories from college by listening to Aqua
