"Barbie Girl"

"Barbie Girl" is a catchy pop song by the Danish band Aqua, released in 1997. It satirizes and playfully exaggerates the stereotypical, glamorous, and sometimes superficial persona associated with Barbie dolls and the Barbie brand. The lyrics depict a whimsical, exaggerated fantasy world where Barbie and Ken are engaged in humorous and exaggerated romantic and lifestyle scenarios. The song combines upbeat music with witty lyrics, making it both entertaining and a critique of consumer culture and idealized images. Despite its playful tone, it sparked debates about gender stereotypes and commercialism.
