Synopsis

During an Eiffel 65 concert, the band attracts the attention of two blue aliens from the planet Tukon4. Zorotl and Sayok6 abduct singer Jeffrey Jey and take him to their futuristic world, leaving Maurizio Lobina and Gabry Ponte to track him down. After a confrontation with the aliens' guards, the band members reunite. Zorotl reveals a more friendly nature, and the strange kidnapping ultimately becomes an interplanetary musical exchange set against a surreal, computer-generated sci-fi landscape.

Factoids & Trivia

• The video was produced by BlissCoMedia, the computer graphics division of Turin-based Bliss Corporation. It was made between 1998 and 1999 in a garage studio using green-screen footage and 3ds Max computer graphics.

• Only five people worked on the production. The team reportedly had limited resources, few reference materials, and just one editing machine, yet completed the video in roughly two to three months.

• The production team drew inspiration from science-fiction films and video games, including "Blade Runner" and "Star Wars." The video's elaborate world-building was developed through brainstorming sessions rather than a large-scale effects setup.

• Zorotl was initially conceived as a malicious character. His amusing, rounded design led the creators to soften the idea, turning him into a more sympathetic figure and changing the story toward its friendly conclusion.

• Zorotl became a recurring character in Eiffel 65's visual universe. He later appeared in the videos for "Move Your Body," which functions as a loose sequel, and "Lucky (In My Life)."

• The video's deliberately dated CGI became part of its identity. Its bright blue aliens, angular spaceships, and futuristic landscapes helped make it one of the most recognizable music videos of the late 1990s, even though it was later included in NME's list of the "50 Worst Music Videos Ever."
