"That's why we show ourselves in our videos, something that many other dance acts, like Daft Punk or Chemical Brothers, don't do," he said. For example, everything a person likes can be seen as blue."Įven if the project was born out of a single song, the trio now feel like a real band, the singer said. And this style can be described as a color. Every one of us at a certain point in life has a style of life through which everything is seen. "It is intended to describe a style of life. "Blue does not mean sadness, as they often ask me in English-speaking countries," Jey said. "And all day and all night and everything he sees/ Is just blue like him." "Yo listen up, here's a story/ About a little guy that lives in a blue world," he sings. The idea behind the song, Jey said, was to use the color as a metaphor for life. The melody was composed by Maurizio, and I wrote the lyrics. "Me, Gabry and Maurizio worked on this song. "We constantly work with each other on different projects," he said of Bliss. At 23, he moved to Turin and began working in the local dance scene. He moved to Brooklyn, N.Y., with his family, when he was a year old and returned to Italy 13 years later.

"Here at Bliss Corporation we're all producers, everyone with his studio," said Jey, who was born Gianfranco Randone in Sicily. Bliss Corporation has 22 members and six recording studios and runs six dance labels. The collective has produced several Italian and European dance hits, including a 1993 cover of punk poet Patti Smith's "People Have the Power," credited to Bliss Team. The trio met in Bliss Corporation, founded in 1992 by Italian producer Massimo Gabutti. They were then headed to France and Russia to promote their next single, "Move Your Body." Wednesday, they had just returned to Turin, their hometown, from Mexico. Probably that's the reason many people perceived 'Blue' as a song, not a dance track."Īs the song has blossomed into an international hit, Jey, producer/composer Maurizio Lobina, 26, and DJ/composer Gabry Ponte, also 26, have been steadily on the run. This was important because it made 'Blue' a song in every sense. Unlike many other dance tunes, our songs have a traditional structure, with verses, choruses and bridges. "From the name of the band to the name of the song itself to the lyric. "The success of this song lies in many factors," the 30-year-old Jey said, speaking in Italian. "But then a little while later, about three weeks later, people recognized it, and it got a much better response, because it's been on the radio so much." "The first time I played it, it didn't get a great reception," Vidal said.

"It doesn't have any serious message or anything, but it's a good, fun song. The song is "a bit cheesy, but there's nothing wrong with that," said Billy Vidal, a vice president of the Mirror Corp., which owns four San Francisco nightclubs including Club X and the Sound Factory. The LP has sold more than 600,000 copies in the United States, according to sales tracking company SoundScan, and was certified gold. "Blue (Da Ba Dee)" ( RealAudio excerpt) climbed from #9 to #6 this week on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart, continuing a rapid two-month rise, while Eiffel 65's album, Europop, moved up to #8 on the Billboard 200 albums chart. The number 65 was added mistakenly to an early pressing of the single the group liked the combination and stuck with it, Jey said. A computer chose Eiffel randomly from a group of words the men liked. " 'Blue' was born almost like a game," singer/producer Jeffrey Jey said on Wednesday of the tune, in which he sings about "a little guy that lives in a blue world." But the experiment between the three men, who are members of the Italian dance-hit factory Bliss Corporation, "worked, and so we continued working on other tunes and completed the rest of the album," Jey said.Įven their name has a haphazard, patched-together quality. TURIN, Italy There are one-hit wonders, and then there are one- song wonders.Įiffel 65, the Italian trio whose dance-pop novelty "Blue (Da Ba Dee)" is racing up the charts throughout Europe and the U.S., formed to do nothing more than create that one song.
