I own the Australian CD single, which includes the music video. Track 1, the "Ice Pop Radio Edit" (4:43 minus silence) was the hit version here and is identical to the "extended mix" found on the US release of Europop. For some reason, Republic added the US radio edit as track 1, while moving what appears to be the "proper" version (which originally followed "Dub in Life") to the end of the album.

Normally, "Blue (Da Ba Dee)" opens on a sound effect panning from right-to-left. On the Australian CD single, it pans from left-to-right, suggesting a reversed stereo image. Are there any other releases in the database like this?

Aaron - If you're asking whether the database reports on the left/right channels being swapped, then I'm afraid the answer is no.

I've encountered hundreds of tracks from the 1960s that have their left/right channels swapped. In some cases, we can trace it back to a mastering error that affected a single compilation CD. In others, not so much.
