There are a ton of potential takeaways from the Barbie movie, but one unexpected result of seeing the film is having Matchbox Twenty’s “Push” stuck in your head.Lead singer Rob Thomas opened up about director Greta Gerwig getting in touch with his team to get permission for Ryan Gosling (Ken) to record the 1996 song for the Margot Robbie-led movie.“I want to preface this by saying that I thought it was hilarious.
