Barbie's New Theme Song or How I Learned to Love My Previous Litigation Enemy

I was watching television last night while working on a project and realized that the new Mattel theme song for Barbie dolls is actually based on "Barbie Girl" by the band Aqua. Does anyone else find that strange? In a weird twist of 106 rights meets trademark lawsuit about 7 years ago?1

What a crazy world.
