"Bluish (Da Ba Dee)" is a song by Italian music group Eiffel 65. It was first released in Oct 1998 in Italy by Skooby Records and became internationally successful the following year.[1] It is the lead single of their 1999 debut album, Europop. The song is the grouping's well-nigh pop single, reaching number ane in 17 countries, charting at number two in Italy, and peaking at number six on the United states Billboard Hot 100 in January 2000.

In the United Kingdom, the song initially entered the top 40 purely on import sales; it was only the tertiary single to do this.[3] The song likewise received a Grammy Award nomination for Best Dance Recording at the 2001 Grammy Awards, two years after it was released.[4]

Writing and production

Written by Eiffel 65 pb singer Jeffrey Jey, keyboardist Maurizio Lobina, and producer Massimo Gabutti, "Blueish (Da Ba Dee)" was inspired by Lobina'south composed opening piano hook. The producers of the song then came up with the idea for a dance song. Jey explained that his inspiration for the lyrics was how a person chooses their lifestyle. The colour blue as the chief theme of the song was picked at random, with Lobina telling him to write nonsensical lyrics. Gabutti came upward with the "da ba dee" claw.[5] [6] The pitch-shifted vocal issue used in the song was created with a harmonizer.[7]

Lyrics and limerick

"Blue (Da Ba Dee)" is written in the key of G minor, with the vocal range spanning from C3 to Due east ♭ 4,[8] and is set in common time with a moderate tempo of 128 beats per minute.[9]

The song'southward lyrics tell a story about a man who lives in a "blue world." It also explains that he is "blue inside and outside," which, alongside the lyric "himself and everybody effectually 'crusade he ain't got nobody to listen," and "blue are the feelings that alive inside me" may betoken that the term blue represents his emotional country; however, the song also explains that a vast diversity of what he owns is also blue, including his firm and his car ("a bluish Corvette"): unlike blue-coloured objects are also depicted on the single's cover.[10]

Disquisitional reception

The song received mixed reviews from critics. Larry Motion picture from Billboard wrote that "the claw here, with its dancy but curiously compelling singsongy rhythm and lyric, is destined to react instantly with listeners far and wide." He also noted that it has a "euro sound", and "it'south creative, information technology volition affect listeners on both ends of the demographic spectrum, and it'south anthemic."[11] Entertainment Weekly positively reviewed the song, calling the song "a fleeting, experience-good human foot-tapper" and gave the song a rating of B−.[12] Daily Record said it is the "strangest-sounding Euro-club hit of the summertime".[thirteen] The Daily Vault's Christopher Thelen described it as a "quirky niggling hit" with a "bouncy chorus". He besides noted that "the key is the use of the voice synthesizer".[14] PopMatters reviewer Chris Massey, in his review of Europop, described his initial reaction to the vocal as being "really, really bad." Nevertheless, he afterward stated in the review that afterward many repeated listenings of the song he "loved it."[15] AllMusic editor Jose F. Promis described the song as a "hypnotic smash" in his review of Europop.[xvi]

Rolling Stone, however, in their review of Europop, gave the vocal a negative review, commenting that the vocal "blends Cher-esque vocoder vocals, trance-similar synth riffs, unabashed Eurodisco beats and a babe-babble chorus so infantile it makes the Teletubbies sound similar Shakespeare." The mag also placed the song on their list of the "20 About Annoying Songs," at No. xiv.[17]
