The creators of the 1990s hit "Barbie Girl" maintained a high level of secrecy around the song's title, even resorting to calling it "Burger King" internally to prevent others from learning the idea. The group expressed no desire for commercial credibility, stating that such aspirations were not aligned with their identity. Originally reported by MusicRadar.
