Throwback video from the 1990s - Aqua's controversial Barbie girl song



"Barbie girl" was a controversial pop hit back in 1997. Rolling stone magazine actually named "Barbie girl" one of the 20 Most Annoying Songs. But somehow, this song managed to hit top of the music charts across the world, especially in Europe - it made no.1 on the UK pop charts for 13 weeks in a row! The main controversy was a copyright infringement lawsuit by the makers of Barbie doll (Mattel), however, the lawsuit was dismissed by the US courts.

Below is the "Barbie girl" video and a better song (in our view) - "Turn back time' which was featured on the soundtrack of the 1998 movie "Sliding doors" starring Gwyneth Paltrow.
