Mr. Blue Sky was the song I picked for my wedding to play directly after we said our vows and walked down the aisle as man and wife. Truly one of my favorite songs of all time. Whenever I really need an attitude boost, this is one of the first choice songs. A true classic masterpiece!

I think that is another reason that MBS didn't stand out as a singular work...it was part of concerto. For me sweet is the night, sweet talkin' woman Rockaria have been at times happier....even do ya. I also experienced similar sorts of Joy when I listen to The wilbury twist, Los Lobos version of The Georgia Slop, the Bus Boys Johnny Soul'd Out, and a couple others by Tom Petty and The Blasters the titles of which I am currently not recalling

This is one song that I remember hearing when I was a kid in the late 80's/ early 90's being played by my Dad and while I thought it was alright I didn't really get it. About 5 years or so ago, I was driving the works van, after a very grey week it was suddenly a beautiful blue day and this song came on the radio and I suddenly got the song. It went from an alright song to one of my all time favourites.

I got Out Of The Blue autographed by the whole band on their tour of Australia in 1978. I liked them so much I went to both concerts in Perth. Concerto For A Rainy Day was my favourite when there was an electrical storm outside.

Some facts about Jeff Lynne (ELO)...First, he is a very humble man, simply because this Music Genius is not interested in fame, the limelight, and money, he just loves to create great music. Jeff Lynne is one of the most versatile musicians ever, this is why he is considered by his peers to be among the greatest. He didn't stick to one style of music because, after decades, it gets boring. Jeff has done progressive Rock, Symphonic Rock - Pop, New wave, and Disco. Everything he does turns to gold. He even flirted with Country music. From 1972 to 1986 (During 14 years) Jeff Lynne's Electric Light Orchestra has had more top 40 hits than any other group in the world... 51 years later they still play in sold-out Arenas, festivals and Stadiums. During Jeff Lynne's ELO 2019 Tour, many reviews agreed in saying they are the best live Classic Rock Band in the world still touring and Jeff Lynne is a Music Genius( From Forbes Magazine and the Washington Post). ELO is in the Rock Hall of Fame. Lynne is on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame and Birmingham Walk OF Fame. Jeff Lynne’s ELO won the Best Classic Rock Band plus Lynne won the best Songwriter award ( ASCAP ) in 2019 for his fantastic contribution over the years. In October of 2020, Jeff Lynne has been made an officer of The Order Of The British Empire for his extraordinary contribution to music. He previously has received three Ivor Novello Awards, which celebrate songwriters and composers, including the award for outstanding services to British music. He created the best Super Group of all time with his best friend George Harrison, The Traveling Wilburys. The Legends in the Music Industry call Jeff Lynne the best overall Musician ever and a Producer Extraordinaire. Jeff Lynne has written and produced many hit songs for music legends like George Harrison, Roy Orbison, Tom Petty, Joe Walsh, Brian Wilson, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Bryan Adams, Aerosmith, Del Shannon, the Everly Brothers, The Beatles, and so many others...In June 2023 Jeff Lynne will be inducted in The Songwriters Hall Of Fame ❤👍💯

Jeff is an astounding talent! Thank you for such an interesting & informative presentation Warren.

Was lucky to see Jeff Lynne's ELO live in 2018, one of the best shows I've ever been to. Love Mr. Blue Sky and it never fails to bring a smile, I'm just a little worried about overuse like an anthem at a sporting event. To answer your question, Wings' "Listen to What The Man Said" just brings back a lot of happy memories and never fails to raise my spirit.

One of my ex girlfriends had Out of the Blue on vinyl. I had never really listened to it before other than the songs that played on the radio. I loved it so much, I played it every weekend morning in its entirety. She got sick of it, but I never have. Amazing album!

ELO's "New World Rising" from 4 years earlier is largely forgotten but pretty cheerful too.

There is actually a strong sense of angst and melancholy riding below as an undercurrent to the happy surface of this song.

incredible track, as a kid I didn't really understand the vocoder voice, thought it was amazing. When I hear the song, it makes me smile, saw Jeff Lynn's Electric light Orchestra in 2017 and they played Mr Blue Sky, brilliant.

I saw ELO late 70s early 80s. It was when wireless mics, vari light etc first came into existence. They walked in to a completely empty stage. No lights, no speakers, amps etc. the speakers were hidden and the lights came up from the floor as did the drum kit etc. amazing show and so unique

They way you speak about Jeff is exactly how I feel about him, I’m so glad you love him too. He’s an all time great as a pop songwriter, but as a producer for me he is peerless. He made Paul McCartney, Tom Petty, George Harrison and Roy Orbison do their best solo work. You Got It is my favourite song and it was only after getting into ELO I found out he produced the song. It all made perfect sense. Thanks so much for making this video, I really enjoyed it.

This song is responsible for the single most profound "OMG that's the song!" moment of my life. I've been a huge ELO fan from before I knew what and who it was that I liked so much. Thanks for running down some of what makes this song, and ELO at large, so special.

How is that possible? Now I have to hear this song! I can't wait. Edit: Okay, I'm not seeing it. It's a good song, but the happiest song of all time? Seriously? Where were these polls (pills?) taken? Perhaps it's just the happiest song in England...

Strange Magic is a fabulous song, the quintessence of what you imagine an ELO ballad to be: a catchy, melancholic and slightly haunting melody coupled with soaring string sections and vocal harmonies creating a a dream-like feel . It's the same atmosphere ou get in the verses of Living Thing, surely one of Lynne's finest moments ( well, that's my take on it, anyway). Evil Woman is obviously genius too. Shine a Little Love from the Discovery album is an amazing combination of rock and disco, and All Over The World from Xanadu is also an oft overlooked masterpiece. 1983's Secret Messages is in my view an often overlooked album. Mr Blue Sky, on the other hand, has thankfully achieved the recognition it deserves.

Thank you Warren! I absolutely love and enjoy your work on this, your Produce Like A Pro Channel. I grew up listening to music. My mom was an avid music listener and collector. We did not have much. For fun, my father would take my mom and the four of us little ones to a fabulous record store, The Record Theater. The place was huge! For hours my mom would comb through the library of all things music. My sisters and I would play arcade games to pass the time. Often, as I grew, I would likewise grow to love music, and would, like my mom, look at every album in the store. My Mom would leave with an arm full of albums. My dad made sure my mom had the best listening experience. Kef speakers, eventually joined the system. Top notch record players, with the best needles. Back in the day, even ultrasonic remote control to automatically move the arm. Cool. Later in life, I had become a professional mobile DeeJay, and grew a library doing what I loved to do. Watching your production series, Songs That Changed Music is wonderfully enjoyable! ELO is one of my favorites. Growing up, I just was stuck on Boy Blue, from the Eldorado album. If I had to pick one from Out Of The Blue, (and there are many tracks I like), right now, Summer & Lightning. Thanks ever so much for your choice to share your talent and knowledge, bringing more meaning to one of the already great iconic bands and songs of all time, The ELO.

Thank you for covering this track. Out of the Blue was the first album I ever bought and have just listened to Mr Blue Sky on it: still sounding surprisingly good after so many years. One album or artist I’m not sure you’ve featured is Big Country somewhat out of the limelight now but The Crossing was a brilliant album and the track Chance is just superb. The late lamented Stuart Adamson’s song writing and guitar playing together with the almost military style drumming make this the standout track. The short instrumental section around 2:40 is just such a pleasure to listen to.

I’m 100% convinced that, if J.S. Bach had managed to live another 250 years, he would have made music with similar orchestrations and instrumentations to ELO’s recordIngs. He would have absolutely loved using Moogs, Fairlights, Synclaviers, etc., too.

@@cirrus1964 Yes, really, “Dick”, we don’t have better things to do than express our appreciation for great musicians and the culture that influences them. Just about everyone who’s studied J.S. Bach and his music knows he was an exceptional organist, in addition to being an exceptional composer. I’d even say Bach was somewhat of a Prog Rock progenitor who enjoyed experimenting with innovative arrangements and instrumentations, and the pipe organ was essentially the musical instrument most similar to a synthesizer available to him for doing so. The point is that J.S. Bach’s innovative approach towards music composition and technology is at least as relevant and influential to the better musicians and music composers of our lifetime as it was to his own work. I submit that it’s not exactly an accident that a resurgence of Bach’s popularity in the 1960s coincided with the increase in creative applications of technology in music production and performance during the same period. Consequently, I’m convinced Bach would have been delighted to be able to produce his music with the same instruments and technologies bands like ELO were using.

Love that song. I've been an ELO fan since around 1974. The "Roll Over Beethoven" cover is awesome, and I thought it was featured in a Grammy Award night closing the TV coverage back in the late 70s or early 80s, with a whole bunch of artists joining Jeff Lynn playing it. Just great music. I didn't always like some ELO hits as much as other tracks on their albums, and always wondered why tracks like "Fire on High" never got enough airplay/high on the charts. "Mr. Blue Sky" is definitely a sing along song, an ear worm song that you don't want to get rid of, but I also think "Fire on High" is also an ear worm you don't want to get rid of either.

Big ELO fan. Thanks for this episode. When I was graduating from High School, no easy task. Out of the Blue showed up. My local heros Aerosmith, The J Geils band and Boston were the what's happening. ELO took me past Kiss and Thin Lizzy and showed me what more was possible. Just last week I digitised my LP for safe keeping. I hope to be a local DJ soon and ELO will make some shows for sure. Thanks Waren. My uplifting song is Assent by Brian Eno from the Apollo soundtrack LP with Daniel Lanois and Roger Eno. One of my favorite.

While working at a record store in the mid 2000s, I sold a copy of this album to Greg Hetson from the Circle Jerks and Bad Religion.

Lovely to known

My older brothers first album was Out of the Blue. Sweet memories Warren thanks for all the information .

I remember when this song came out--and it has remained my favorite songs of all time since the very beginning, …..

Agreed 100%!

You are spot-on sir!! Mr. Blue Sky has always been my favorite "feel good" upbeat song. I defy anyone to remain in a bad mood after a complete listen! Another song that will lift just about anyone out of a humdrum mood is Matthew Wilder's "Break My Stride". Both of these songs are MASSIVE earworms!
