About Barbie Girl

Now defunct Scandinavian Euro-pop group Aqua was the brains behind Barbie Girl. Though the refrain “I’m a Barbie girl, in a Barbie world” surely delivers some critique of society’s penchant for judging women by their looks, the social comment is beside the point. Barbie Girl is all about the dancing. Propelled by an infectiously poppy tune and colorful, over the top music video, Barbie Girl quickly climbed to the one spot in the charts in the UK and Australia and the top ten in the US Billboard charts. Since the 1997 release of Barbie Girl, the song has been kept alive as a club standard in nightclubs around the world.

While Barbie Girl is not the kind of song music fans can have lukewarm feelings about - you have to adore it completely or completely eschew it - what no one can dispute is that Aqua pulled off a tremendous coup with their international success with this song. Euro-pop acts seldom crack the charts in their own countries, and when they do, their popularity seldom extends outside continental Europe. Other Euro-pop bands who have managed to chart in the UK and US music charts can be counted on one hand (think of Ace of Base or 2Unlimited). Dance tracks in general have a very short shelf life, and the continuing popularity of Barbie Girl is another achievement few can claim (think Dee-lite’s Groove is in the Heart).

Not everyone was a fan of Barbie Girl. Mattel, the manufacturer of the Barbie doll, sued Aqua, charging that the sexual nature of the lyrics was detrimental to the Barbie doll’s image. That case was dismissed in 2002.

Aqua split in 2001, and the band members are working on solo projects.
