	It's just a bad song because they overplayed it. You know I'm right.

No Picture Jake "the insan Average	#2 by Jake "the insane bassist" Martinez at Nov 4, 1970 at 10:09 PM EST
	i remember listening to my friend donny's radio show when this song first came out and some girl called the radio station and insisted that the lyrics to the chorus were "i'm blue, if i was green i would die" i just had to share that because it was the stupidest thing i had ever heard. LoL.

No Picture Dany Average	#3 by Dany Meyerink at Dec 15, 1971 at 12:45 AM EST
	My friend said it was "I'm blue, and I'm in need for a guy" Haha, it was funny though.

No Picture Kieran Average	#4 by Kieran Hurley at Jul 15, 1972 at 9:52 AM EST
	I have way to much time on my hands to finally figure out what the chorus actually said. I thought it was "I'm in need of a dime." Gotta be the worst song ever played on the radio.

No Picture Rikki Average	#5 by Rikki C at Oct 21, 1973 at 5:33 AM EST
	actually, it's quite a nice song 1 2 3 4 5 Next

No Picture Mike Average	#6 by Mike Kearney at Oct 20, 1974 at 12:23 PM EST
	I heard from somewhere or other that the chorus was originally "I would bleed I would die, I believe I will die," and that they changed the song for American audiences. If that is the case, that would make it a song about suicide.

No Picture Justice Wanna Be	#7 by Justice Fish at Oct 1, 1975 at 3:31 PM EST
	Agreed, Phyxius.

No Picture Adam Wanna Be	#8 by Adam Clarke at Aug 16, 1977 at 2:36 PM EST
	:drooling: Right. Your blue, good for you, good for you, good for you, good for you, you are blue good, for you, good for you, good for you, you are blue...

	This is an absoulte disgrace, C'est a god job they were One Hit Wonders!

No Picture Adrian Lead Player	#10 by Adrian Ortega at Jul 20, 1981 at 6:37 PM EST
	First of all, I started liking this song kind of, then they overplayed it and I hate it now. And I also have some different versions of the chorus. One is "I'm a Queen I'm a donna".... ehem, right. And the second is "I'm a leaf I can die". Uh huh. Well, I actually thought of something... we all think that the different choruses that people insist they hear are funny, but don't they make at least SOME sense? I mean, compared to "daba dee daba dai"... seriously, the person who wrote this song must have been have a seizure when he/she made up "daba dee daba dai"... :D

No Picture Callum Average	#11 by Callum Baker at Sep 19, 1982 at 5:51 PM EST
	Im so glad they stoped playing this song very 5 minutes.

No Picture Ale Wanna Be	#12 by Ale Rosado at May 12, 1983 at 2:30 AM EST
	possibly the WORST song ever created, but thats just my opinion

No Picture Gladis Wanna Be	#13 by Gladis McHumphry at Feb 22, 1985 at 1:16 PM EST
	Europop was a great album. Real good clean techno doesnt break out very often, and eiffel 65 came out with a great mix of songs so it didnt get boring. if they had played more of the album and not just blue, eiffel 65 wouldnt have been a 1 hit wonder at all, this song killed them.

No Picture Eat All The Gra Wanna Be	#14 by Eat All The Grass That You Want Butler at May 5, 1985 at 7:40 AM EST
	this song was really horrible. describing everything in life as blue is kind of interesting if they had done it to be meaningful without the other crap it would have potential and not be some shit that nobody likes

No Picture Average	#15 by Brian (Add Me!) at May 26, 1986 at 5:55 PM EST
	okay, my friend used to insist that the chorus said "I'm in need of a guide"...

No Picture mike Rhythm Player	#16 by mike guerino at Sep 28, 1988 at 10:35 PM EST
	LOL, dirty pop singer! that's rich!

No Picture aLLaN Rhythm Player	#17 by aLLaN at Mar 13, 1990 at 12:54 AM EST
	I love this group and I love this song!!! They have a new album now, I'll post the lyrics.

No Picture Spitzer Average	#18 by Spitzer at Oct 27, 1991 at 7:51 PM EST
	Ok, this is what I heard... "I'm blue and I'm in need of a guy and I'm in need of a guy and I'm in need of a guy..." Has anyone seen the music video to this song?! OMG! It's the stupidest concept ever!!! Their idea of a fight scene was ridiculously overdone with those cheap graphics for the aliens!!!! I hate these guys (and Daft Punk) with a passion.

No Picture Micky Wanna Be	#19 by Micky Robson at Oct 28, 1993 at 1:22 AM EST
	my friends thought the chorus was "if i was green i would die"

No Picture spud Average	#20 by spud barnes at Jan 18, 1996 at 10:00 AM EST
	orangetomorrow is right, u gotta hear the album, i'd say 2/3 is good stuff...this song rocks, it's not even the best on europop ...but i don't hav a problem w/ them being a one-hit wonder, i like having secrets

No Picture Aaron Average	#21 by Aaron Stein at Mar 1, 1997 at 6:24 PM EST
	Believe it or not, I enjoy this song a lot. I think it's a...more humorous way of describing somebody who is feeling down or depressed. When people are depressed, not matter what they try and do to distract themselves, they end up feeling surrounded by this empy and sad feeling. I like the song:-)

No Picture Bobby Lead Player	#22 by Bobby Parker at Nov 26, 1997 at 8:00 AM EST
	No really it goes "I will die in Aberdeen" at least the little kids round our way sing that, not like we've anything against Aberdeen, it just fits in.

No Picture Joey Professional Badass	#23 by Joey AkA oddish at Aug 31, 1999 at 10:07 PM EST
	Someone once told me that the chorus to this song is "If I o.d. I will die." Stupid, huh?

No Picture EL Jeffro Wanna Be	#24 by EL Jeffro at Dec 20, 2003 at 7:30 PM EST
	Actaully... I've always sort of liked this song except for words. It's got a great tune, a good idea for a song seemingly, but why couldn't they come up with decent lyrics? sobs Ahem. Oh, and dps413, that's what I always thought it was, LOL. Sad, no?

No Picture Public Enemy Wanna Be	#25 by Public Enemy at Feb 1, 2007 at 11:01 PM EST
	I love this song. They played it way to much on the radio where I live and I hated it then, then they stopped and I never heard it for about a year. Now this band is one of my favorites. Don't take the song so seriously if you don't like it, take a chance to listen to the music. Music is way better then any lyrics created. (in my opinion of course)
