8 Wildly Popular Songs That Are Utter Nonsense

3. Aqua - Barbie Girl

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZyhrYis509A "Come on Barbie let's go party!" Infamous words from a song by a group who were bound to be the voice of their generation. Aqua stood proud and waved the flag high for all the people out there who felt like a Barbie girl in a Barbie world. Sounds pretty crazy to think about, but there was a huge audience for this song and somewhere out there some poor soul still rocks the heck out of this song on cassette. This song was a number one hit in 18 different countries. After listening to the song, it's not really that hard to understand why. Any song that can successfully incorporate the phrase "hanky panky" into its lyrics is legendary in its own right. Truth is, the nonsense of this song can only truly be rivaled by the nonsense of its own music video, which helped Aqua's album Aquarium (that's really what it's called) sell 3 million records in the United States alone.
