Song
B-side"Remixes"

"Too Much of Heaven" is a song written by Italian dance group Eiffel 65 and the second official single from their first album Europop. The single was originally released in Italy on 11 May 1999. It was later released in Canada, the United States, Australia, New Zealand and in several European countries in March 2000. "Too Much of Heaven", peaked at number 20 for 9 weeks on the (Eurochart Hot 100). This was the last Eiffel 65 song to peak at number 1 on the Italian singles chart, and a top 10 hit in France and top 25 in Switzerland. The song is about the downsides of being too greedy. It has been described as possibly "the very first example of rapping through Auto-Tune", although without much influence on hip-hop in general.[1]

Music video

Two official music videos were made for this song. Both videos featured the band performing in a white backdrop studio. The first video however, featured footage from various Eiffel 65 concerts, whereas the second video instead showed the band performing as ninjas wearing luminous makeup performing karate moves.
