The creators of Aqua's 1990s hit "Barbie Girl" were intentionally secretive about the song's title during its development, even referring to it as "Burger King" to prevent others from discovering their idea. The group has stated they never aimed for credibility, as it did not align with their artistic identity. Originally reported by MusicRadar.
