Barbie's full name is Barbara Millicent Roberts. Her Birthday is March 9, 1959. It was also the date the Barbie doll made its debut at the American International Toy Fair in New York. In a series of novels published by Random House in the 1960s, her parents' names are given as George and Margaret Roberts from the fictional town of Willows, Wisconsin. In the Random House novels, Barbie attended Willows High School, while in the Generation Girl books, published by Golden Books in 1999, she attended the fictional Manhattan International High School in New York City (based on the real-life Stuyvesant High School).
She has an on-off romantic relationship with her boyfriend Ken (Ken Carson), who first appeared in 1961. A news release from Mattel in February 2004 announced that Barbie and Ken had decided to split up, but in February 2006 they were hoping to rekindle their relationship after Ken had a makeover.

The "Two Voices, One Song" Lyrics from the newest musical, Barbie and the Diamond Castle.
It's so rare to find a friend like you
Somehow when you're around, the sky is always blue
The way we talk, the things you say
The way you make it all ok
And how you know, all of my jokes, but you laugh anyway!
Chorus:
If I could wish for one thing, I'd take the smile that you bring
wherever you go in this world I'll come along!
Together we dream the same dream.
Forever I'm here for you, you're here for me.
Oh ooh oh
Two Voices, One Song
Bridge:
And anywhere you are,
you know I'll be around.
And when you call my name,
I'll listen for the sound!
Chorus:
If I could wish for one thing, I'd take the smile that you bring.
Wherever you go in this world, I'll come along!
Together we dream the same dream.
Forever I'm here for you,
you're here for me.
Oh ooh oh.
Two voices, one song.
Oh ooh oh.
Two voices, one song…
It's so rare to find a friend like you
Somehow when you're around, the sky is always blue
The way we talk, the things you say
The way you make it all ok
And how you know, all of my jokes, but you laugh anyway!
Chorus:
If I could wish for one thing, I'd take the smile that you bring
wherever you go in this world I'll come along!
Together we dream the same dream.
Forever I'm here for you, you're here for me.
Oh ooh oh

Wherever you go in this world, I'll come along!
Together we dream the same dream.
