Ha! I definitely don't remember ever hearing that song. But, like you, I wasn't ever in a situation where I would have. No bars, parties, friends, or casual acquaintances of mine at the time would have paid any attention to that, and I didn't listen to any top 40 radio. I have a vague recollection of knowing the name Eiffel 65 and I think that's because I saw their CDs in stores (probably in the used bins).
Although the first iteration of the chorus sounds familiar. Maybe that's because it's so generic, or maybe it was sampled in some hip-hop or something. None of the rest of the song rings a bell at all.
I did play Oddworld though, and it looks like they based the blue character in the video on that.

I'd be utterly shocked if anybody here has ever forgetten the sensational hooks and bodyrocking rhythms of Sexy Eyes by Dr. Hook. It was crazy popular in '79-'80.
