'Blue' Song Creating Record Buying Zombies

Los Angeles (NBp) - The hit song "Blue (Da Ba Dee)" by Eiffel 65 has been creating a breed of record buying zombies throughout the country. The innocent-seeming "story about a little guy who lives in a blue world" has proven to be too strong a lure to the record stores for most people to resist.

"My little Johnny was just sitting at home listening to the radio when his eyes glazed over and he started saying 'must buy Eiffel 65'," explained worried mother Janice Delouise. "I'm not sure where he got the money from, but I think he owns 10 copies of Europop already."

Scientists have been baffled by the phenomenon thus far. "I don't know why people listen to that stuff," wondered Professor G. Edward Groonblat. "I'll stick with my Kenny G. I'll say one thing though, that 'da ba dee da ba da' part in the song seems awfully suspicious to me. No one talks like that. I think there's a hidden message there telling people to buy that album."

Eiffel 65's Europop has claimed more than a million victims in the US already. Every day, thousands of innocent teenagers are seen mesmerized in record stores chanting either "I'm blue da ba dee da ba da" or "must buy Eiffel 65". Parents groups are hoping that the "blue tide" will head back to sea, freeing the nation's children to move on to the next fad.
