Burning The Ground Exclusive 1988
BTG BARBIE Rewind: Bubblegum Pop Inspired by BARBIE!
“Barbie Dance Club” is a cassette single released in 1988 featuring three exclusive songs written for Barbie herself that were included as part of a 30-minute direct-to-video promotional VHS tape released in 1989. The video featured a Dance Club consisting of kids, ranging from 8-12 years of age, essentially giving promotion to outfits for the Mattel Barbie doll. There was also a special line of Dance Club dolls released all wearing club fashions the dolls included Barbie, Ken, Kayla, and Devon.
In the video you could learn to do the Barbie dance created by pop mega-star Paula Abdul. Watch the video
Singer/songwriter Stacey Piersa who would later write “Didn’t I Say I Love You” (from the Paula Abdul single “My Love Is For Real”) with Elliot Wolff appears in the video as a dancer. Elliot Wolff wrote Paula Abdul’s hit songs, “Straight Up” and “Cold Hearted.”
I was not able to find any information on who the female vocalist is on these tracks. None of these songs have ever been released digitally.
