how can there be an arabic version from '79 when the original was released in '82? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.185.233.127 (talk) 17:16, 1 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

Lil Wayne has a song of the same title, but it's not a cover. Should there now be a disambiguation page? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.108.142.202 (talk) 17:34, 6 September 2010 (UTC)Reply

Post-punk band Have A Nice Life sampled the metronome-like rhythm

Sampled ? Are they not simply using the same beatbox? (the Casio CL tone Vl-1) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.129.11.57 (talk) 08:35, 26 January 2012 (UTC)Reply

Dutch version?

edit

The text said they made a Dutch version called "Bla Bla Bla ik hou niet van je je houdt niet van me". I am almost 100% sure that this is not true. If there had been a Dutch version I would have known, and I would be able to find it now. The official Dutch release was the English version: [1]

There is a Dutch version called "Bla bla bla" which is a brilliant parody by a bunch of comedians using pseudonyms, in the local dialect of The Hague. [2] [3]. The lines 'ik hou niet van je je houdt niet van me' do not occur, the theme is pointless chitchat at a boring party. I will change the article accordingly.

Cover version used in Ariston commercials

Perhaps this might merit inclusion in the "Use in other media" section?

One commercial can be viewed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=So5UswFSPtc

Another example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fhsQefe53_M

Rather an odd association, as such things go. 65.95.205.26 (talk) 00:53, 5 September 2016 (UTC)Reply

Advertising & Spoof versions

edit

There are official advertising versions for the Volkswagen Golf and for Pepsi Cola, including one starring several millionaire footballers playing against a German schuplattler troupe and another where it is presented as the German national anthem at a football game. There are Spanish and Italian football-related adverts. The VW advert has been parodied many times, most notably with Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer representing Microsoft, all with "Da da da" playing. The singers Christina Aguilera and Elissa appeared in the "German national anthem" video and went on to star in others with their own music. All of these are easy to find on YouTube.

I noticed that both this article and the one for Trio themselves make offhand references to the Golf commercial but neither bothers to describe it, which has the effect of making it sound like the editors think it's so famous it's not even worth talking about. "Like, you know, that one!" I'm probably not qualified to add it in, though, with all the necessary citations to defend its notability and all. Octan (talk) 02:30, 6 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
