This group is Italian. I was working & living in Milan in the late 1990's when this came out. When asked about the song's meaning in interviews the group said that "Blue" was in reference to the emotional state of feeling low and was inspired partly by their admiration of American Blues music
Jeffrey Jey actually says the song is about seeing the world in one color. It's kind of like wearing rose colored glasses but blue in this case. People who only see the world one way. It actually has nothing to do with being sad or depressed but more so about being ignorant and only seeing things one way.
@@DonMas-car-pone yes, as a lot of hits of dance of 80/90s , corona, alexia, gala, neja (restless), raf (self control).. , spagna (easy lady, call me) .. ❤ i am italian .
LOL. I'm jealous of you hearing Blue for the first time! I figured everybody on earth had heard that song. I was obsessed with this song as a kid in the 90's. They actually came out with a great album called Europop.
Man, when I heard the first notes as I was sitting in the theatre I almost jumped up and started going wild!! 😂 great way to tell us exactly at what point in time it was set.
I love Eiffel 65. Got all their albums including the few that they came out with when they called themselves Bloom 06. Glad they changed it back to their original name. The “da ba dee” part, they say, is just something they liked so they put it in a song. They originally planned their name to be simply “Eiffel”. The 65 part was added by accident. From what they say, it was the last two digits of someone’s phone number that somehow got attached to their name when they went to have their name...I guess finalized.
Actually, it was the producer of Eiffel 65 (Massimo Gabutti) who wrote the "Da ba dee" part because he wanted the song to break language barriers around the world and allow anyone to sing the chorus no matter what language they speak!
The thing to get about 'Europop' (in this case Italian) is that the lyrics are often by people who speak English as a second language, so they can sometimes sound a bit strange/nonsensical. Also, some other late 90s dance pop hits: ATB - 9pm (Till I Come) Alice Deejay - Better Off Alone Dario G - Sunchyme Lucid - I Can't Help Myself Sash! - Encore une fois It's a very deep well.
So this song went crazy popular internationally because of Iron Man 3 ost but for us Italians (the band is Italian too) it's always felt a bit weird because Blue has been a huge hit since it came out in 1999, more than a decade before Iron Man 3. So many memories clubbing in the early 00s. We all went crazy every single time.
Hey, if you wanna feel weirder. I discovered Blue by Eiffel 65, from a Neopets video waaaaay back in the day (circa. ~2006). I still love this song. Love from Canada ^^
@@jameshunt9208 i was done skating by the time this came out. When I think skating rink, the first song that comes to mind is Ginuwine's "Pony". Every time I went, Pony played.
there's a lyric something like "blue are feelings (or words) that live inside me" ... seems go give it away also if u listen to the da ba dee da ba die.... it sounds an awful lot like I believe I will die (but I could be clutching a little, just that choice of sounds seems a little deliberate)
The funny thing is, whenever I am depressed, this song actually helps me shake it off! ..... This song and How Does it feel by Orgy and Shout by Tears for Fears.
Hell the first verse sticks in my head like glue lol We’re gonna play the games of PlayStation all day. From Metal Gear Solid to Tekken 3 And from Omega Boost to Resident Evil, just play for the fun, cause we got it goin’ on.
@@milesfann33 I don't think it really means anything. In the VICE documentary the people who wrote the song basically explain that it's meaningless and simple.
The creators are italian, they don't have any idea that blue means sad. They just randomly found a catchy melody and created a meanless song just to dance. You can know this by watching the documentary about this song(there's a documentary for real -.-) or just trusting me since I'm italian and I know for sure that no one knows that blue means sad here and there's no creepy/suicide implications(like I heard from some theories...) in the random lyric.
Luka was an eye opener for me being so young and growing up in the opposite situation and scary learning curve that song, but I love all her songs. Take care of yourself please, Mate
@Barely Taupe to be honest, I didn't look at your avatar. I didn't realise, years ago when I logged onto YT that my name would come up, so I changed it to something subtle XD I don't like the bloody 'channel' that came with it too. I'll let this answer your other question Yah Nah Yah and I'll throw in a Bloody Legend too. I hope you're not in VIC or NSW at the moment and if you are, take care of yourself please, Mate
This song is a bit of a head-scratcher when you first hear it, but damn, does it turn into a great dance song by the end of it. The lyrics are neat, too. I remember warming up to it quickly when it came out and eventually loving it. One of my favorites from the verrry end of the 90s and into 2000.
Haha, glad you listened to my suggestion! I apologize on your ears’ behalf 😂😂 When you get a chance, watch the video, it’s as weird as you would think lol
How about Snap "Rhythm is a dancer" Blackbox " Strike it up" Jagged Edge "lets get married" Remarqable mix Montell Jordan "This is how we do it" Usher "Yeah "

You need to watch the video for Blue, it's silly but fun. Also not a one hit wonders by any means, but Kylie Minogue's spinning around and Robbie Williams Rock DJ. These were just awesome dance songs in England. Bros When will I be famous would be another fun earlier 90's
Fun reaction! I've heard this song hundreds of times, in DJ sets at events, on the radio/internet, and listening to the great Europop album that it's on. I recommend their other hit "Move Your Body" and their fun song "Playstation"

YES, Eiffel 65! I love this song! :) I just can't believe that it's 22 years since this song came out. Another song of theirs that charted was "Move Your Body". "My Console" was also either the official anthem for or a tribute to the then recently released Sony Playstation. "Your Clown" is also a pretty good song by theirs. :) You should also check out their remix of Kim Lukas' "All I Really Want".
LOL you´re too funny. Welcome to the world of the 90´s. Some crazy, but fun and easy songs came out during that time. The soundtrack from my teenage years ;-)
there are various thoughts of what they are saying in the chorus, such as "I believe I will die", "I repeat, I will die" or "I will bleed, I will die" ..... the band denies that it is as dark as that - but who knows - transpose those words and it will probably get stuck in your head... the story of Eiffel 65 and Blue is at th-cam.com/video/epnsRRPtoeU/w-d-xo.html
"I still don't know what Da ba dee means" - it means nothing, that's kinda the point. That's true for a lot of 90s mainstream pop songs. They were just easy to listen to while chilling on the beach or in a club.
I thought he said "I’m blue and I’m in need of a dye”(like a change or getting out of depression or something) I was just imagining shit this whole time 😆
@@kaincharlotte2803 nah. The dude that made the song said he came up with “da ba dee da ba die” because it was just the most catchy melody he could come up with.
We used to joke on the dancefloor that they were singing, "I'm blue, I'm in need of a guy!" Lol. Blue, because he's sad. It was all about dancing in the 90s and we'd dance until we were all exhausted. "Blue," Eiffel 65, "Come Out and Play," The Offspring, "December," Collective Soul, "Gel" by Collective Soul, "Tub Thumpthing," Chumbawumba, "Song 2," Blur, "Everybody Dance Now," C+C Music Factory, "What is Love?" Haddaway, "Smells Like Teen Spirit," Nirvana, "Ballroom Blitz," Sweet, "Mr. Vain," Culture Club, "Tribal Dance," 2 Unlimited, "Hard to Handle" The Black Crowes, "Thunderstruck," AC/DC, "Blow at High Dough," "New Orleans is Sinking," & "Little Bones," The Tragically Hip, "The Twilight Zone," 2 Unlimited, just those for a start and we'd be ready to pass out!! Talk about a good time.
He's basically saying he's depressed (blue) and no-one listens. Everything in his life is blue because it's all affected by his depression. He literally starts the song with "Yo listen" but because the lyrics are set to upbeat music of course most people don't actually "listen" to the lyrics, just the happy music, kinda like how people with depression try to hide it from others with a seemingly happy demeanour.... The original video also featured a blue alien trying to fit in with the rest of the world....which is how people with depression can feel in life. It's quite clever really and it's actually quite deep for euro pop.
DON'T CALL IT TECHNO. IT'S EURODANCE !!! :D The story of this song is so interesting. the da ba dee was supposed to be temporary but they kept it anyways and became Iconic
Actually, the "da ba dee" part was a suggestion from the producer of the song (Massimo Gabuti - at Bliss Corporation) to make the song so anyone around the world can sing the chorus no matter what language they speak. It's another take on "lalalala".
My first single! Back when the box was still on TV I used to hope someone would call in/send a text to request this song. On one of my birthdays I got a small stereo with the single, for the next couple of years my parents would hear this song at least once a day. 😅 If you haven't already, check out the music video, it's the kind of 90's gold that you only get from "properly aged" cgi graphics Would recommend! 😂
lmao loovveeeeee your appreciation for the 90s techno this was huge in the UK and hung around the charts and played everywhere for months. Your right it is one that gets stuck in your head x
Please react to some of italian dance song of 90s: alexia "uh la la la", the summer is crazy. Spagna "call me" "easy lady" Gala "come into my life" Neja "restless"
Man, being a young teenager in the late 90s. This took me back. And a warm summer night at 2am on your bicycles with friends and som pretty girls, listening to Crazy Town - "Butterfly"... You'll love it!

there are various thoughts of what they are saying in the chorus, such as "I believe I will die", "I repeat, I will die" or "I will bleed, I will die" ..... the band denies that it is as dark as that - but who knows - transpose those words and it will probably get stuck in your head... the story of Eiffel 65 and Blue is at th-cam.com/video/epnsRRPtoeU/w-d-xo.html
You would love Here Comes The Hotstepper, Jay!
The classics we grew up with 😆 🤣 love your reactions to these
Sounds like they're saying "I'm blue , if i was green i would die"
I'm blue and I'm in need of a guy
Lol it does 😂😂
I always heard “I’m in need of a guide, I’m in need of guide”
I always heard "I believe I would die"
I can't unhear that now 🤣
This song was Number 1 in Australia for 9 weeks in late 1999! It was a huge one hit wonder! Lol!
"I still don't know what Da ba dee means" - it means nothing, that's kinda the point. That's true for a lot of 90s mainstream pop songs. They were just easy to listen to while chilling on the beach or in a club.
I thought he said "I’m blue and I’m in need of a dye”(like a change or getting out of depression or something) I was just imagining shit this whole time 😆
@@kaincharlotte2803 nah. The dude that made the song said he came up with “da ba dee da ba die” because it was just the most catchy melody he could come up with.
It sounds exactly like a singer from the early 2000's, Sarina Paris. Every song of hers sounds exactly like this. Also a German singer named Blumchen.
You always make my day. Love your reactions. It's been a long time since I've heard this one.
We used to joke on the dancefloor that they were singing, "I'm blue, I'm in need of a guy!" Lol. Blue, because he's sad.
It was all about dancing in the 90s and we'd dance until we were all exhausted. "Blue," Eiffel 65, "Come Out and Play," The Offspring, "December," Collective Soul, "Gel" by Collective Soul, "Tub Thumpthing," Chumbawumba, "Song 2," Blur, "Everybody Dance Now," C+C Music Factory, "What is Love?" Haddaway, "Smells Like Teen Spirit," Nirvana, "Ballroom Blitz," Sweet, "Mr. Vain," Culture Club, "Tribal Dance," 2 Unlimited, "Hard to Handle" The Black Crowes, "Thunderstruck," AC/DC, "Blow at High Dough," "New Orleans is Sinking," & "Little Bones," The Tragically Hip, "The Twilight Zone," 2 Unlimited, just those for a start and we'd be ready to pass out!! Talk about a good time.
Misheard lyrics. "I'm blue, if I was green I would die, if I was green I would die, if I was green I would die...."
Hahahahaha! Now I can't unhear it... 🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭
He's basically saying he's depressed (blue) and no-one listens. Everything in his life is blue because it's all affected by his depression. He literally starts the song with "Yo listen" but because the lyrics are set to upbeat music of course most people don't actually "listen" to the lyrics, just the happy music, kinda like how people with depression try to hide it from others with a seemingly happy demeanour....
The original video also featured a blue alien trying to fit in with the rest of the world....which is how people with depression can feel in life.
It's quite clever really and it's actually quite deep for euro pop.
This only makes me think of Big Fat Liar.
"Do You Copy That Mr. Funny Bones?"
"Gshhh Thats A Ten Four Marty"
*SHEPARD!!!!!!!!!!!*
This song takes me back to when I was about 10. I drove my mum insane singing this non-stop for about a month.
DON'T CALL IT TECHNO. IT'S EURODANCE !!! :D The story of this song is so interesting. the da ba dee was supposed to be temporary but they kept it anyways and became Iconic
Actually, the "da ba dee" part was a suggestion from the producer of the song (Massimo Gabuti - at Bliss Corporation) to make the song so anyone around the world can sing the chorus no matter what language they speak. It's another take on "lalalala".
My first single!
Back when the box was still on TV I used to hope someone would call in/send a text to request this song.
On one of my birthdays I got a small stereo with the single, for the next couple of years my parents would hear this song at least once a day. 😅
If you haven't already, check out the music video, it's the kind of 90's gold that you only get from "properly aged" cgi graphics
Would recommend! 😂
There's a fun shuffle video to this song.
Your reaction really made me smile, great start of the weekend. Thank you! :D

I'm 24 from the uk and this song is so nostalgic..drinking cider in a random field dancing around to music like this! Best of times
I'm Blue (I'm in need of a guy), is what I thought they sang when I first heard it...
I vote this for inclusion in the Misheard Lyrics Hall of Fame!
I was told the lyrics in the middle were "If I were green I would die", but now I know that's not the case.
I used to think It was "I could beat up a guy". 😂😂😂😂😂
