Music

Released by the group Eiffel on the CD Europop in 1999, Blue has become a song that millions have heard and tried to sing along and hundreds have remixed.¹

If you read the lyrics you will find it is just a little story about a little blue guy having his usual blue day.²

If you have ever tried to sing along I would strongly suggest reading the chorus lyrics slowly and carefully one time, then you might get it right while singing.

I’m blue da ba dee da ba di da ba dee da ba di da ba dee da ba di da ba dee
Da ba di da ba dee da ba di da ba dee da ba di da ba dee da ba di³

When I looked for Eiffel 65 Blue on YouTube I found quite a few videos. The first one has over 7.5 million views so I think it is the bands version. There are several other video versions as well as people have taken the music and created a new video for it.

Creative individuals have also sampled the music into their computers and “remixed” the song in their own unique way. I laughed when I saw that a lot of the videos were of the audio mixing program playing the remixed version showing the “bouncing ball” on a time line. Some of the mixes are good, a lot of them are….

Add to the 7.5 million count by watching the video below.

Blue (Da Ba Dee) by Eiffel 65 on Europop

Yo listen up here’s a story
About a little guy that lives in a blue world
And all day and all night and everything he sees
Is just blue
Like him inside and outside
Blue his house with a blue little window
And a blue Corvette
And everything is blue for him
And his self and everybody around
Cause he ain’t got nobody to listen

I’m blue da ba dee da ba di da ba dee da ba di da ba dee da ba di da ba dee

I have a blue house with a blue window
Blue is the colour of all that I wear
Blue are the streets and all the trees are too
I have a girlfriend and she is so blue
Blue are the people here that walk around
Blue like my Corvette, it’s standing outside
Blue are the words I say and what I think
Blue are the feelings that live inside me

I’m blue da ba dee da ba di da ba dee da ba di da ba dee da ba di da ba dee

Blue are the streets and all the trees are too
I have a girlfriend and she is so blue
Blue are the people here that walk around
Blue like my Corvette, it’s standing outside
Blue are the words I say and what I think
Blue are the feelings that live inside me

And everything is blue for him and his self
And everybody around
Cause he ain’t got nobody to listen

This one has been watched over 2.6 million times.

I watched Spongebob and a shark sing blue but it was not very interesting. This one had me laughing though:

The Blue Da Ba Dee by Eiffel has been sung in the Sims. The Sims Sing Blue. There were 12 Sims Blue Videos.

Let’s break it down a little, here is a piano keyboard tutorial for Blue (Da Ba Dee).
