Elsewhere, a huge crowd of swaying blue aliens has gathered to hear the singer sing them the song that was so popular amongst them that they had to travel across the galaxy to kidnap the guy just to hear it in person. Then a karate master alien shows his skills by high-kicking the air a couple times before he too is laid to waste by this guy’s all powerful light balls. As soon as the dude jumps out of the ship and dodges some enemy fire, he shoots the light ball from his hands (not unlike Dragonball Z, but way more stupid). But they don’t fight like the rest of us mere mortals they fight with balls of light and dance-punching. Surely devastated that their plan of sticking their tongues out at the aliens didn’t work, the guys decide to take a different route and fight. Surprisingly, this has no effect on them, and they land safely on their planet with their prisoner still frozen in a blue bubble.
Once they catch up, they decide the best course of action is to make silly faces at the aliens through the window. Meanwhile, back on Earth, the other members of Eiffel 65 just happen to have a spaceship handy, so they hop on and give chase. The alien’s incessant head bobbing makes it nearly impossible to not join in, which in turn makes the whole video even more frustrating. The aliens take their prisoner back to their home planet, all the while constantly bobbing their heads and singing along to the music. I know computer graphics have come a long way since then, but surely they could have done better in 1999. They’re very blue, and they’re very badly animated. It’s hard to describe what these guys look like you just have to look at it for yourself. So far it’s not too ridiculous, all things considered, but then we get our first glimpse of these alien beings. We then see Eiffel 65 minding their own business and playing their hit song at a concert, when all of the sudden, a beam of light comes down from the sky and snatches the unsuspecting singer out of the air mid-jump. Then two more screens show ominous signs of what is to come… an alien abduction of the silliest kind. Things get started with an octo-TV set from the future, wherein we see members of the band singing and dancing and looking especially ridiculous on three separate screens.
One thing you may not remember (or at least tried to block from your memory) is the hilariously bad video that accompanied Eiffel 65’s one hit wonder. Even if you haven’t heard it in years, it was so ubiquitous back in those days that surely everyone still remembers it. Unless you lived under a rock around the turn of the century, you’ve heard this song a million times. There are awesome videos, there are bad videos, and then there’s this video. Oh man, I don’t even know where to begin with this one.
