Eiffel 65 – Blue (Da Ba Dee)

Eiffel 65 is a three man (Gianfranco Randone, Maurizio Lobina, and Gabriele Ponte) Italian eurodance group. Best know for their international hit “Blue (Da Ba Dee)” Eiffel 65’s debut album “Europop” sold over two million units in the US, making them the best selling Italian eurodance group ever in the United States. The origin of the group’s name is an interesting sequence of chance. The name “Eiffel” was chosen randomly by a computer program and the “65” was scribbled onto their name on a demo by mistake; it was actually part of a phone number. The group Eiffel 65 is also known for their many remixes of songs from other artists, with over thirty of them to their name. In 2005 Gabriele Ponte left the group to focus on his solo career and in 2006 the reminding members left the Bliss Corporation to form their own duo called Bloom 06. The Bliss Corporation, who owns the name Eiffel 65, had announced a new line up for the group would be debuting in the summer of 2007 however the debut was postponed until further notice.
