"Too Much of Heaven" is a song written by the 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 released in Canada, the United States, Australia, New Zealand and in several European countries in March 2000. "Too Much of Heaven" peaked at number two on the Italian singles chart, and reached the top 10 in France and top 25 in Switzerland. On the Eurochart Hot 100, the song peaked at number 20.

The song is about the downsides of being too greedy. It has been described by Pitchfork as "the very first example of rapping through Auto-Tune".[1]

Music video

[edit]

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