"Barbie Girl," by Danish-Norwegian Europop band Aqua, peaked at number seven in the US Billboard Hot 100 in 1997. It topped the charts from the UK to Australia in the year of its release and was Belgium'sBut Mattel — which manufactures Barbie — hated the song, so much that it sued MCA Records, Aqua's American record label, which later became part of Universal Music Group.
The music video features two members of Aqua dressed as Barbie and Ken, riding round in a pink convertible and frolicking in Barbie's Dreamhouse. Lene Nystrøm, playing Barbie, sings in a sickly-sweet, butter-couldn't-melt voice, while René Dif sings as a deep-voiced Ken. Mattel, understandably, had some problems with this portrayal of its 11-inch doll. But, as Lobel noted, Mattel couldn't sue for copyright infringement because the video didn't include any actual Barbie dolls or images.
