In 2010, the original group reunited although Ponte does not participate in record production and concerts. In 2005, Ponte focused on his solo career, and then Jey and Lobina collaborated as a duo called Bloom 06. In 1997 during an unspecified date, Raimondo Sanguine died. With more than 20 million copies sold and many gold, platinum and diamond records, Eiffel 65 is one of Italy's most popular electronic groups. Įiffel 65 also produced remixes of numerous popular songs, and they recorded " One Goal", one of the official songs of the UEFA Euro 2000, and "Living in My City" for the 2006 Winter Olympics. Europop was crowned as the greatest album of the 1990s by Channel 4. They were also nominated at the Grammy Award for Best Dance Recording for "Blue (Da Ba Dee)". Over the course of their career, the group won a World Music Award in 2000 for the World Best Selling Italian Group, and a B.M.I USA in Los Angeles, rewarding the most-broadcast song on radio in the United States. Their following two albums, Contact! (2001) and their 2003 self-titled album did not gain international success, but still managed to gain success in Italy. The singles reached number one in many countries, while the album peaked at number four on the Billboard 200 chart. They gained global popularity with their singles " Blue (Da Ba Dee)" and " Move Your Body" from their 1999 debut studio album Europop.
We really weren't very deep.Eiffel 65 is an Italian Eurodance group that was formed in 1997 in the studios of the Turin record company Bliss Corporation, consisting of Jeffrey Jey, Maurizio Lobina Gabry Ponte and formerly Raimondo Sanguine. that's a bunch of 9-year-olds' interpretation of the song when it first came out. "My friends and I used to sing that part as "I'm blue, if I was green I would die." we were in elementary so we thought the person's favorite color was blue and they hated the color green, so if they were green, they wouldn't like it. Then, the vocals were distorted using a device called "vocoder" and so it sounds strange and mysterious, but there’s no secret message there.Īnyway, my favourite comment comes from Ranna (Boondocks, IA), who says: Well, reality is often less exciting, and the truth is that the chorus says exactly that, "Da Ba Dee, Da Ba Die". Some popular interpretations are: "I’m blue and I’m in need of a guy / in Auberdeen I would die / and I believe I will die". If you listen carefully to it, it is not easy to know what it says, so there has been lots of opinions about what is "the secret message" contained in that cryptic sentence. When you are depressed, even the trees and the sky looks sad and depressing.īut the most interesting thing here is the chorus, the magic line " Da Ba Dee, Da Ba Die". He feels so sad that all his life and everything around him looks depressing. So the most obvious meaning for this song is the life of a man who is depressed. The music style called " blues" is a sad kind of music. " The blues" means depression, so you can say " I've got the blues" ( I'm depressed) or " That gives me the blues" ( that makes me feel sad). IT’S STANDING OUTSIDE= He refers to his car (a corvette), which is parked outside.įirst of all, let’s say that in English blue is the colour of sadness, so the expression " I’m blue" means " I’m sad, I’m depressed". Notice that in these examples we’re using the double negative (ain’t / nobody), which is incorrect in standard English but quite common in slang (very colloquial English).ĭA BA DEE= We’ve already talked about this line in the section about the general meaning of the song. I ain’t got nobody= I haven’t got anybody. Or maybe this really means "his self", which is "his inner essence".ĪIN’T (coll.)= The negative form of the verbs "to be" and "to have": There guys, money doesn’t bring happiness.ĮVERYTHING IS BLUE FOR HIM= From his point of view (in his opinion) everything is sad.ĪND HIS SELF= In some English dialects they use "his-self" instead of "himself".
Listen up= A more emphatic way to say "Listen".īLUE HIS HOUSE= A shortened sentence which means "his house is blue".ĬORVETTE= An expensive brand of car ( you can see the picture here), so this depressed man is rich. YO! (slang)= A cry used as a greeting or to attract someone's attention. About a little guy that lives in a blue worldīlue are the streets and all the trees are tooīlue are the people here that walk aroundīlue like my corvette, it's standing outsideīlue are the words I say and what I thinkīlue are the feelings that live inside me
