All it took was a little GoldieBlox girl power, a musical score from the Beastie Boys, and three little girls with a Rube Goldberg machine to create one of the most girl-positive videos we’ve ever seen – and it actually has a chance at being playing during the Super Bowl.
Intuit, the financial and tax software giant, is currently running a contest that will see one small business have their ad played during the Super Bowl, and GoldieBlox is currently in the final four contestants. ?Wouldn’t you want your daughter, niece, granddaughter or any young girl in your life to see this video and be inspired? If you want to help make that happen, you can vote for GoldieBlox in the Intuit “Small Business, Big Game” contest by clicking HERE.
And in case you wanted them, here are the full lyrics to the song from the video. ?It’s ok, admit, you’re going to go play the video again and sing along. ?No one will blame you. ?It’s catchy as hell.
Girls.
You think you know what we want, girls.
Pink and pretty it’s girls.
Just like the 50’s it’s girls.
You like to buy us pink toys and everything else is for boys and you can always get us dolls and we’ll grow up like them… false.
It’s time to change.
We deserve to see a range.
‘Cause all our toys look just the same and we would like to use our brains.
We are all more than princess maids.
Girls to build the spaceship, Girls to code the new app, Girls to grow up knowing they can engineer that.
Girls.
That’s all we really need is Girls.
To bring us up to speed it’s Girls.
Our opportunity is Girls.
Don’t underestimate Girls.
