Watch GWAR Put Their Bizarre-o Spin On 'Barbie' Anthem 'I'm Just Ken'

GWAR and Barbie are not two words you'd expect to hear in the same phrase, but the shock rock veterans chose to cover the Ryan Gosling 's popular anthem from the movie, "I'm Just Ken," during a recent performance for AV Club's Undercover series.

The metal band actually softened things up a little bit for this ballad, which they titled "I'm Just GWAR," as singer Blöthar the Berserker gently crooned about how they're still "the band that spews/ Just too gross, too much for most." Midway through the song, they picked things up a bit while the Berserker shook a Barbie head and sang in his signature growl.

"We've been fans of Ryan Gosling since the Mickey Mouse Club days, and like most terrifying intergalactic heavy metal superstars, we simply adore musical theater. This just made sense," the Berserker explained of the performance.

GWAR hit the road on "The Stoned Age" tour this fall. Watch their "I'm Just Ken" cover and see a full list of tour dates below.
