Eiffeil 65
Blue (Da Ba Dee)

I randomly revisit this video from 1999, only 17 years have passed (OK, the math is – unfortunately – correct!). A typical end-of-millennium song, the famous "Da Ba Dee" has overshadowed the depth of the lyrics (poetry in its purest form) which can be summed up as: "This is the story of a guy who lives in a world where EVERYTHING is viagra-colored because he has no one to listen to him." All I could think about while watching the video was: WHICH EVIL GENIUS CAME UP WITH THIS VIDEO?! The poor inhabitants of the viagra-colored planet who have no one to listen to them interrupt a mega concert by Eiffel65 (no small feat!) by freezing the singer to perform on their planet. This triggers the wrath of Gabri Ponte and "the other Eiffel65," who promptly board their spaceship, leading to a space chase with tongue-sticking antics! Thus begins a battle: between the agile moves of an (unknown to me) martial art (better said, Martian at this rate?!), energy waves, killer forearm blows, laser beams from hands, and long-distance backhand slaps, the two humans manage to "free the singer from the terrible agony of singing for the viagra-colored aliens." The aliens (who, being blue, see nothing but blue, see themselves, or better yet, feel themselves, within the verses of a song that speaks about them) plead with the legendary Eiffel65 to return to finish the song because they are having a blue withdrawal. The funny thing is, after brawling with the viagra-ians, they actually return for the final 30 seconds of the performance! Furthermore, Gabri and the other move their arms like metronomes and jump on the stage in ecstasy behind their instruments. A happy ending? And what if they had listened to Yellow by Coldplay instead? Would there have been a Pleasantville-type ending? I fail to grasp the meaning... maybe everything will be clearer with their next video... let's hope so because "I’m more anxious than for the fates of GoT and TWD combined"!

Enjoy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68ugkg9RePc
