Aqua's 'Barbie Girl' was released in 1997 by the Danish-Norwegian dance-pop band and became a global number-one hit, famous for its playful high-pitched chorus and bubblegum-pop production. The song famously drew a trademark lawsuit from Mattel, which was dismissed, and it has lived on as a pop-culture staple ever since. Short cover and remix versions of the chorus circulate widely on soundboards and in meme edits, where creators use its instantly recognizable sugary sound as an ironic punchline for plastic, glam or exaggerated moments.
