"Barbie" is most likely a girl Daniel was hanging around with during his early days in Austin. Her boyfriend got jealous and punched Daniel in the head. Dan talks about it here:

Soon after this incident, he recorded Retired Boxer, the first songs he'd written in over a year.
I think the boxing motif is mentioned in most of the album's songs. I'll Do Anything but Break Dance... is the highlight of the album to me.
