Eiffel 65 - I'm Blue

    You may remember this tune from the late 90's.

    The chorus goes "I'm blue daba dee daba di".....or so I thought.

    When this came on the car radio recently, my friend pointed out that in fact the chorus is a distorted "I'm nude and in need of a guy". I can kind of hear it too since he mentioned it. He claimed it was a major gay anthem! Is he telling the truth? Somebody clear this up!

    There was definitely an "s" sound in there somewhere. To me it sounded like "I'm blue I must eat I will die". Either way it was some horrible **** and now you've made me remember it again.

    It was also allegedly "if i o.d'd i would die"

    Either way, it's awful

    There's stories about that with every song. Led Zep's stairway to heaven was supposed to be all about Satan if you played it backwards, I think it even got banned in a few places because of that rumour...

    "I'm blue, if I was green I would die" I think that was another one of the misheard versions of this song!

    I don't think cheesey Italian pop mongers would actually have lyrics that serious, to be honest. People are reading far too much in to an utterly terrible track.

    Which I heard on the radio a week or two ago, scarily.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 686 ✭✭✭insert-gear


    I remember all those rumours at the time it came out. There was also "If that was me I would die" and "I believe I will die"

    but he says he has a girlfriend, who is so blue, so how is he gay? but perhaps her blue depression is the result of her beloved boyfriend is on the turn, sexually speaking, before her very eyes
