Barbie is a fashion doll manufactured by the American toy-company Mattel, Inc. and launched in March 1959. American businesswoman Ruth Handler is credited with the creation of the doll using a German doll called Bild Lilli as her inspiration.
Barbie is the figurehead of a brand of Mattel dolls and accessories, including other family members and collectible dolls. Barbie has been an important part of the toy fashion doll market for fifty years, and has been the subject of numerous controversies and lawsuits, often involving parody of the doll and her lifestyle.
Ruth Handler watched her daughter Barbara play with paper dolls, and noticed that she often enjoyed giving them adult roles. At the time, most children's toy dolls were representations of infants. Realizing that there could be a gap in the market, Handler suggested the idea of an adult-bodied doll to her husband Elliot, a co-founder of the Mattel toy company. He was unenthusiastic about the idea, as were Mattel's directors.
During a trip to Europe in 1956 with her children Barbara and Kenneth, Ruth Handler came across a German toy doll called Bild Lilli. The adult-figured doll was exactly what Handler had in mind, so she purchased three of them. She gave one to her daughter and took the others back to Mattel. The Lilli doll was based on a popular character appearing in a comic strip drawn by Reinhard Beuthin for the newspaper Die Bild-Zeitung. Lilli was a blonde bombshell, a working girl who knew what she wanted and was not above using men to get it. The Lilli doll was first sold in Germany in 1955, and although it was initially sold to adults, it became popular with children who enjoyed dressing her up in outfits that were available separately.

Genres: Adult,I see you looking and I know what you think
You're getting braver with every drink
But I am telling you something
You ought to know
She may look like a sweet young thing
Talking to him she ain't hearing a thing
If you were smart you'd turn around
And let her go
That girl's a Barbie doll
A Barbie doll

She's real good looking
She got no heart at all
Puts on her makeup and she drives to the bar
In her boyfriend's, old man's brand new car
She's got no idea
What she does or why
She does whatever she wants, I guess
Whatever comes first, whatever looks best
Nobody I know

She had a friend of mine, he was treating her right
Hanging on him

You should've seen how cold she got
My buddy asked why and she said, "Why not?"
Nobody I know
Swears she's even real
