My knowledge of more recent European music, meanwhile is unfortunately kind of mushy and blurred together. Todd: I do know a little about Italian music, but unfortunately, everything I know about the Italian music scene ends around. Todd: Okay, I've gotten to sample music from around the globe during the show, and Eiffel 65, as you can tell by their name, brings us to yet another new stop on our international tour of music. Jeffrey: I have a girlfriend, and she is so blue Todd: Dear God, what does that mean for their stuff that wasn't as popular? Did those songs not get big because they weren't stupid enough? Or was it because they were somehow stupider? How could something like this even exist? And if their highest peak was something this brain-rottingly inane. Matter of fact, who did like it?! But you couldn't ignore it. Todd: In fact, you probably didn't like it. Not only because it's incessantly catchy - which, it unfortunately very much is - but also because it's hard to conceive of something this dumb. it sticks in the head like very few things ever do. Todd: I mean, in everyone's collective brain space. But not like in the real world, I don't think, cause it-it wasn't that huge, but. Todd (VO): Yeah, this song was inescapable. And they just seemed to keep piling up, until they climaxed gloriously with Eiffel 65, quite possibly the most annoying of them all.
Todd (VO): I've already said that the late '90s were a glory day for bright, goofy novelties, so much so that they kind of weren't even novelties anymore they were the mainstream. And were it not for the fact that I'm now contractually bound to cover it, I would have continued ignoring this song forever. Todd: This is one of the most obvious and most requested one-hit wonders I've ever had for this show. Jeffrey Jey: I'm blue, da ba dee da ba die Todd: …that no one should ever listen to. Dumb lyrics with a dumb video and a dumb chorus. And all day and all night and everything is just dumb. Todd (VO): …listen up, here's a story, about a shadow guy who hears dumb songs. Todd plays "Blue (Da Ba Dee)" on the piano. (The camera cuts out and the film reel ends) Well, that should be easy, let's see what the first guy wants. and all I have to do in return is, y'know, do a little research for an episode on whatever my donors requested. finally get myself some new shoes, (image of Todd in hospital bed with face covered over) I finally got that pesky appendix removed. And uh, it went really well I'm, I'm really grateful for you guys' appreciation and I was really happy with the result, I was, I was able to. actually sell requests for the first time to four lucky people. recently to stave off one of my frequent bouts of poverty, I decided to try a little experiment.
