"Blue (Da Ba Dee)" is a single by Italian group Eiffel 65. It is the band's most popular single, reaching #1 the UK, Australia, and Germany, and also reaching #6 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States[1]. The song was released in 1999 on the album Europop.
The lyrics of the song are nonsensical, Jeffrey Jey (the lead singer) stated the lyrics were not supposed to mean anything. It is often erroneously thought to be saying "If I was green, I would die."
The song was used during a scene of the Frankie Muniz movie Big Fat Liar. Muniz dyes the antagonist, Marty Wolf, blue in Wolf's pool by the addition of blue coloring. Later Muniz drives up beside as the song plays, referring to Marty's blue skin.
The song was used in the episode of Daria entitled "The F Word".
The song appears at #14 on Rolling Stone's list of the 20 Most Annoying Songs.
While giving a concert, the lead singer of Eiffel 65 is abducted by blue-skinned aliens, who leave Earth with him. The two remaining members of the band give chase in their own small spacecraft, and eventually both ships arrive on the blue aliens' planet via a portal. It is shown that the lead singer was taken to apparently perform in a concert for the aliens. After fighting off a number of alien guards using martial arts and several energy-based abilities including something that resembles Star Wars force lightning, the pursuing members succeed in rescuing their lead singer and while leaving the planet, are asked to return by the aliens. They oblige, performing a concert for the blue-skinned extra-terrestrials.
