* TearJerker: "Turn Back Time". You'd be REALLY surprised at how well the lyrics and music can tug at your heartstrings. "Aquarius", the title track from their

* TrueArtIsAngsty: "Turn Back Time" eschews the bubblegum sound for something more somber and sad, and it their most acclaimed song.

* HilariousInHindsight: Many have found humor in the fact that, years after attempting to take Aqua to the proverbial woodshed over "Barbie Girl," Mattel started using the song (albeit reworked to remove some of the more questionable content) in [[http://mediadecoder.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/08/26/years-later-mattel-embraces-barbie-girl/?_r=0 their commercials.]] Given how catchy the song is and how both little girls and adults alike are at least vaguely familiar with Aqua's signature song (barring the risqué undertones), it would be a waste for Mattel not to tap into "Barbie Girl"'s popularity to promote the dolls.
