Trivia: What band wrote the 1997 song “Barbie Girl”?
Weezer
Blur
Pavement
Aqua
The correct answer is Aqua
So why is this answer correct? : In 1997, Danish band Aqua released the song “Barbie Girl” on their album “Aquarium.” The song became a pop culture phenomenon, reaching No. 1 in the United Kingdom and No. 7 in the U.S. However, Mattel sued Aqua, saying they violated the Barbie trademark. The judge ruled that the song was protected under free speech and dismissed the case. The song has endured, and in June 2023, Aqua and Dutch DJ Tiësto released a remix of the song called “Barbie Girl (Tiësto Remix).”
