Although the lyrics seem meaningless, they could be making a statement about the inflated value of sex appeal in society. With abnormally tiny waists and enormous breasts, Barbie dolls are unrealistically proportioned, which her critics claim leads to self esteem and body image issues in young girls. Barbie's maker, Mattel, responds to these charges by pointing out that Barbie is not supposed to be realistic, and that her outlandish shape is designed so make her easy to pose and dress. In 2002, a judge ruled the song was protected as free speech under the first amendment, and also threw out a defamation lawsuit Aqua's record company filed against Mattel. In late 1997, a few months after this song peaked on the American charts, Mattel announced that they were changing Barbie's body for just the third time in her history. Barbie's new body had a bigger waist, slimmer hips and breasts that were shrunk to an honest B cup. It's the 50 Worst Songs Ever! In 1945 Ruth Handler and her husband Elliot founded the toy company Mattel with their close friend Harold Mattson. The idea for Barbie came about after Ruth watched their daughter Barbara cut dolls out of magazines and carefully choose clothes and accessories to clothe them in. All other dolls on the market at the time were baby dolls, but Ruth realized there was enormous potential in a doll with adult features, allowing children to act out their dreams. Today Barbie is the best selling toy in the world - more than one billion dolls have been sold since 1959 in 150 different countries. Please or to post comments. Lollipop Candayman is the total Shiz! I mean honestly, their songs have to be totally random and meaningless... I know I get some really strange looks when I'm driving around with thier songs being blasted from my iPod, windows down, dancing at a stoplight. ANyway, yeah AQUA ROCKS!!! Louis, MoI saw the music video when I was 8 years old. For some odd reason, I liked the song and got the CD. Still have it, and am debating whether I should sell it or not. Aqua sings some fun and cute songs, plus, Aqua really isn't that good. My taste in music is much better now then it was when I bought the CD. If anyone is interested, I have a review of Aqua's album Aquarium. Are you seriously concerned about a silly Norweigan pop group from the 90s violating the copyright of a major corporation that cannot possibly be harmed by the song? You obviously do not know much about human nature; a hit song mentioning the toy will only increase sales. Also, Aqua did not violate Mattel's copyright on Barbie; there is no law that states their product cannot be mentioned in a song. In fact, according to the first amendment, they can sing about whatever they want. If anyone's rights were violated, it was Aqua's from Mattel's frivolous lawsuit. Why should a part of the human body ever be taboo? Because it is associated with sex? Bad news, Darrel; sex is a vital part of life. Without it, none of us gets here. I sincerely hope you are not really this afraid of sex, music, and Barbies and that you get a life. I have no idea who these girls are, but I find this very funny, especially the leer on their faces as they sing the male parts. They also charted with Dr Jones and Turn Back Time. Inever want to hear it again! The part where she says you can undress her anywhere is so wrong! Next time whoever wrights a song they should learn to put down words that children want to hear! Better luck next time! If there is a next time! Damn, Mattel or whatever that company's name is should be happy that Aqua advertized Barbie in a song. Their sales would go up. Plus, I'm glad that song exsists, so that people can realize how many dumbass blonde wannabes there are Britney Spears, Paris Hilton, etc... Nobody wants to be a retarded wannabe. Some guy did a really bad version of both this song, and the Bee-Gees tragedy, it was outrageous! This song is probably in violation of international and US copyrights and trademarks held by Mattel Toys, Inc. I know of several who object to those terms. It glorifies presumably unprotected sexual intercourse, which is to be avoided unless one or both parties have been sterilized vasectomy or tube-tying and should be avoided even then. Mentioning pubic hair and male genitalia in a song that is targeted toward 13-year-old girls as all new music is, sadly is and always will be taboo. I can't help but crack up at his winks. This music video is the funniest thing ever! Still in 2007 it rocks. They should be proud to have came up with such a freaking awesome song and an even cooler video. Any DAY of the week Ken! I can't help but crack up at his winks. This music video is the funniest thing ever! Still in 2007 it rocks. They should be proud to have came up with such a freaking awesome song and an even cooler video. Any say of the week Ken! Aqua should be ashamed to ever record such a pathetic attempt at music! A brilliantly put together song and performed with perfection. I love to sing this when i'm in drag. This may be implying that women will let men do anything if they offer commitment. Most people don't take Aqua serious, because they were just fun music, brainless and no need to think... Which is nice sometimes, though they've got a few serious songs too which are actually pretty decent. The MxPx version is AWESOME!!! The aqua version is just sort of... I bet she didn't understand the lyrics... I love all of Aqua's songs, especially Back From Mars, Goodbye To The Circus, Freaky Friday, and Cartoon Heroes. I mean its about the cute Barbie stuff and Ken falling in lvoe with Barbie having a party but that dude is Ken? Yea right,not that im into Barbies or anything but I can defenetly tell you that Ken has hair and is handsome. D i ever brought and you never forget the first C. Thank god my taste is so much better now. Thanks, Mr and Ms. So they are not a one-hit wonder. Here in Canada, Lollipop Candyman hit 1 on MuchMusic as well, and all of their other videos did modestly well on the canadian charts. Everything's fake, nothing in the person's life means anything. Either way, this song is HI-larious, not necessarily great. I wonder why it was popular for such a short period of time. It reached number one on 16th May 1998.
