The music video has been listed in NME's '50 Worst Music Videos', however I do not agree with that at all, and even though it isn't exactly amazing compared to recent animation music videos such as Mat Zo & Porter Robinson's " Easy" and Britney Spears' "Break the Ice" at the time it was so great, and even now people are watching it. This reminds me of Infernal, and I'm worried other acts will be following in these bands footsteps soon enough. Hitting number one here in the UK, this definitely put this band on to the rail road to global success, yet they didn't make it. The song had massive success (most likely down to the video being memorable). Guess this is where 'I'm feeling a bit blue' comes from. The song is about a guy who is 'Blue inside and outside' and he and everyone else is blue, suggesting it's a state of mind, as well as various objects he owns are blue as well. "Blue (Da Ba Dee)" was written by Jeffrey Jey, Maurizio Lobina and Massimo Gabutti. Whereas the other videos wasn't picked up enough to make such an impact. And the only reason people remember this song is because it's catchy and has the blue men in it, and the music channels really picked it up and kept playing the music video. So where did this band go wrong? Personally I think no promotion for global success was made. They were well known for this hit, however they also managed a second hit with "Move Your Body" which got to number three here in the UK, followed by the album 'Europop' at number 12. They were active in 1998 till 2005, as well as a reformation in 2010 apparently they are working on a new album, but it now seems unlikely since three years have passed. Eiffel 65 were a three piece Italian dance band consisting of Jeffrey Jey (real name Gianfranco Randone), Maurizio Lobina and Gabry Ponte (real name Gabriele Ponte).
