I have a song for you, it's from the late 90s.

I have a group for you, they're from the late 80s.

All this just came out of the blue.

Never knew what exactly Blue Man Group was doing.

Now I know. They were doing spectacular shows.

That one about Dubai and Aberdeen?

Kind of Blue released in 1959

Yo, listen up, here's a story about a little guy that lives in a blue world.

And all day and all night and everything he sees is just blue, like him, inside and outside.

Blue his house with a blue little window and a blue Corvette.

And everything is blue for him and himself and everybody around, 'cause he ain't got nobody to listen...

everybody be jamming to this song until you realise the lyrics is about depression

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 3 days ago

Still jammin'. Whole album bangs.

We gonna play the game the playstation all day from the metal gear solid tekken 3, from omega boost to resident evil gonna play for the fun, 'cause we got it goin' on.

Move yo' body, every every body.

That’s also why I fervently defend that the lyrics actually say: "I would bleed, I would dye; I would bleed I would die"

[–] kofe@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

We used to sing "I been beat up and died, I been beeaat up" in my day

[–] stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 days ago (2 children)

wow that's a real Laurel/Yannie situation (it's Yannie btw)

[–] Grass@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I still hate that one. totally manufactured to piggyback off the dress and depends on people with hearing damage to work. nobody will hear someone saying Laurel as yanny unless they have hearing damage and the person speaking is electronic.

[–] stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 days ago

hearing damage? what you hear simply depends on the pitch and how your brain interprets the sound

[–] MadMadBunny@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)
[–] Jakeroxs@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago

I used to live next to an apartment complex called the Laurel, my wife would always sigh and roll her eyes when I called it the Yannie.

[–] ArtemisimetrA@lemm.ee 8 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I have a blue house with a blue window...

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Blue is the color of all that I wear...

I'm the operator with my pocket calculator

[–] letsgo@lemm.ee 2 points 3 days ago

So, about your colourblindness...

Get some glasses and you got Milhouse

[–] zephorah@lemm.ee 33 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Downvotes are for putting that ear worm into peoples’ heads. Probably.

[–] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 16 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Hell no! My ass going to Spotify to play it right meow.

[–] zephorah@lemm.ee -4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

You say that, but you’ll have better luck on YouTube. You’ll put the song you want into Spotify and it will play any and all songs triggered by its “similar” algorithm. There’s a high probability it will take days of trying to hear a single, specific song on Spotify.

[–] dohpaz42@lemmy.world -1 points 3 days ago

Days? No. Try years, if ever. I’m still getting recommendations of kids songs from years ago when I let my kids use my account.

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 days ago

Downvotes? For this banger?! Have fun thinking about The Venga Boys now then suckers!

[–] Shanmugha@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

I still listen to that song

He’s in need of a guy

Eiffel 65? I never knew what that song was called or who did it.

[–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works -1 points 1 day ago

It was the first album I ever bought... And I am pretty sure I only listened to that one song.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 11 points 3 days ago (1 children)
[–] Aggravationstation@feddit.uk 3 points 2 days ago

That would be Blue by Eiffel 65

[–] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 17 points 3 days ago

You know he had to be kicking himself for not actually making the final lyrics "if I were green I would die"

[–] GeeDubHayduke@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 3 days ago (1 children)

🎶 I'm GREEN. If i was blue, i would dye. If i was blue i would dye. 🎵

[–] AtariDump@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago (2 children)

I’m blue, I’m in need of a guy

I’m in neeed of a guy

I’m in need of a guy (repeat as necessary)

[–] fakeman_pretendname@feddit.uk 3 points 3 days ago

It was a great mystery at the time what was actually being sung there.

Along with yours, we also had:

I'm blue, I believe I'm a dog,
I believe I'm a dog,
I believe I'm a dog.

And

I'm blue, I believe I will die
I believe I will die
I believe I will die.
