Samuel’s Musicians Of The Week
June 3rd, 2007 at 05:35pm
This week the award goes to ELO, and the feature song is quite excellent, which makes it quite appropriate for use during the credits of the excellent documentary The Great Global Warming Swindle.
The feature song is Mister Blue Sky
(Morning, today’s forecast calls for blue skies)
Sun is shinin’ in the sky
There ain’t a cloud in sight
It’s stopped rainin’ everybody’s in a play
And don’t you know
It’s a beautiful new day (hey hey hey)Runnin’ down the avenue
See how the sun shines brightly, in the city
On the streets where once was pity
Mister Blue Sky is living here today (hey hey hey)Mister Blue Sky please tell us why
You had to hide away for so long (so long)
Where did we go wrong?Mister Blue Sky please tell us why
You had to hide away for so long (so long)
Where did we go wrong?Hey you with the pretty face
Welcome to the human race
A celebration, Mister Blue Sky’s up there waitin’
And today is the day we’ve waited for (ah ah aah)Mister Blue Sky please tell us why
You had to hide away for so long (so long)
Where did we go wrong?Hey there Mister Blue
We’re so pleased to be with you
Look around see what you do
Everybody smiles at youHey there Mister Blue
We’re so pleased to be with you
Look around see what you do
Everybody smiles at you(Mister Blue Sky, Mister Blue Sky)
(Mister Blue Sky-y)Mister Blue, you did it right
But soon comes Mister Night, creepin’ over
Now his hand is on your shoulder
Never mind I’ll remember you this..
I’ll remember you this wayMister Blue Sky please tell us why
You had to hide away for so long (so long)
Where did we go wrong?Hey there Mister Blue (Sky)
We’re so pleased to be with you (sky)
Look around see what you do (blue)
Everybody smiles at you
Ba ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba ba
Baah baahBa ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba ba
Baah baah baah(Mister Blue Sky)

You missed out on one ‘ba’ in the last line.
Bah.

The song drifts off in such a way that the words are more or less indecipherable after the line you are referring to, and there are probably a lot of words missing, however the line you are referring to is complete.

Bah.

Baron, perhaps I should repeat my comment from my other post where you started calling me names.
5. The Beige Baron | June 4th, 2007 at 4:51 am
Who was name-calling? Keep on topic please.

Oh, the ‘stalker’ comment.
Apologies. I understand now. Sorry.

I probably only needed to copy one or two sentences of that comment to make my point. The rest was probably superfluous.
