She's the celebrated teen-age fashion model doll by Mattel, with a tremendous elegant wardrobe that every girl would like to have.

And now, Barbie comes alive in this completely original musical-on-record, created just for Barbie and Barbie fans. It's the romantic story of Barbie and her boyfriend, Ken... their first date... the first formal dance... all the glorious excitement of first love.

42	!!''Barbie Sings!'' contains examples of:
43	* LoveAtFirstSight: Barbie fell for Ken as soon as she saw him. Likewise with Ken towards Barbie. As mentioned in "Nobody Taught Me":
44	-->''Then one day I looked at you\
45	And quick as a flash it happened\
46	Though nobody taught me, I knew what to do\
47	I fell in love like that with you''
48	* MeetCute: Barbie and Ken met at a baseball game.
49	* OfficialCouple: Barbie and Ken.
50	* OneTrueLove: Before she met Ken, Barbie had no interest in boys. Barbie and Ken have been a power couple for decades, bar a period where they broke up.
51	* RepurposedPopSong: Inverted with "Barbie". Ken repurposes the classic "''Barbie, beautiful Barbie~''" tune while he laments about Barbie.
52	* SillyLoveSongs: Every song is about Barbie and Ken's feelings for each other.
53	* {{Tagline}}: ''Six terrific teen-age tunes sung by Barbie and Ken (and you can sing along, too!)''
