Sun is shinin' in the sky
There ain't a cloud in sight
It's stopped rainin'
Ev'rybody'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
Mr. Blue Sky
Is living here today
Hey, hey, hey
Mr. Blue Sky
Please tell us why
You had to hide away for so long
Where did we go wrong?
Mr. Blue Sky
Please tell us why
You had to hide away for so long
Where did we go wrong?
Hey, you with the pretty face
Welcome to the human race
A celebration
Mr. Blue Sky's up there waitin'
And today is the day we've waited for
Ho, oh, oh
Mr. Blue Sky
Please tell us why
You had to hide away for so long
Where did we go wrong?
Hey there, Mr. Blue
We're so pleased to be with you
Look around, see what you do
Everybody smiles at you
Hey there, Mr. Blue
We're so pleased to be with you
Look around, see what you do
Everybody smiles at you
Mr. Blue Sky
Mr. Blue Sky
Mr. Blue Sky
Mr. Blue, you did it right
But soon comes Mr. Night
Creepin' over
Now his hand is on your shoulder
Never mind
I'll remember you this
I'll remember you this
Mr. Blue Sky
Please tell us why
You had to hide away for so long
Where did we go wrong?
Mr. Blue Sky
Please tell us why
You had to hide away for so long
Where did we go wrong?
Hey there, Mr. Blue
We're so pleased to be with you
Look around, see what you do
Everybody smiles at you
| bacampbe (Irving, TX) | Posted: Jan 13, 2009 - 17:41 I'm not familiar with the artist, but I think she did a bang-up job of capturing the spirit of the original without merely duplicating it. And that is one of my favorite ELO songs. |
| (former member) (hotel in Las Vegas) | Posted: Jan 13, 2009 - 17:38 Actually, that is a cool cover... |
| bizon (Victoria, BC.) | Posted: Jan 13, 2009 - 17:37 Absolute crap. |
| wendyf | Posted: Jan 13, 2009 - 17:36 boooooooo!! reminds me of a kiddie show on TV |
| Frater_Kork (Uppsala, Sweden) | Posted: Dec 14, 2008 - 23:41 It started out like "Woah Mr Blue Sky, a cover, by Lily of all, could be interestin" I don't mind Lily Allen, with the accent, bratitude or whatever people go on about, she's allright. The Bleeping production got a bit too much after a while though. Soo, it's a 6 for now. |
| Kerly (Estonia) | Posted: Dec 14, 2008 - 23:36 Wow! That was fantasic. I like it a lot  |
| Xantheus | Posted: Dec 13, 2008 - 02:50 I hate Lily Allen and the bloody way she speaks. If there's one accent and speech I hate, it's hers. |

Yes, her dad is an actor (Keith allen) and has made some music with his celeb pals from Blur. He's mates with quite a lot of musicians and this is the only reason she is doing what she does. Forget that myspace phenomonen crap. Spoilt little rich girl who pretends she's from the street etc. Not even worth voting for, awful. |

| jagdriver (Tunin' in from the aptly-named Grass Valley, CA) | Posted: Nov 13, 2008 - 10:30 Second play in three days. Sorry.... this song SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
| k_trout (Dream State) | Posted: Nov 13, 2008 - 10:23 this is the rapturous period - mr. blue sky a year later, it is mr. pig sty  |
| gobits (New York, NY) | Posted: Nov 13, 2008 - 10:23 like the original better but this gets a 5 |
| CamLwalk (Albany NY) | Posted: Nov 13, 2008 - 10:22  Approves |

| tnt_thomas (Canada, eh!) | Posted: Nov 13, 2008 - 10:22 Go Lily. Bets that electro voice ELO used!! |
| AliGator (Lex Vegas) | Posted: Nov 13, 2008 - 10:22  |
| Jamunca (Asheville, NC) | Posted: Nov 13, 2008 - 10:21 I give her credit for putting a new spin on a classic song, but the new treatment doth not sit well with me. |
| Thistle (Peg City) | Posted: Nov 13, 2008 - 10:21 Wow. This was a good song... ... until YET another female "pop act" butchered it. |
| andrewmi (capitoltown) | Posted: Nov 13, 2008 - 10:21 I heard the opening of the song and thought, "wow, someone's ripping off of Mr. Blue Sky..." Turns out it's not a rip-off, just a mediocre cover. Ah well. |
| black321 (Bong Island) | Posted: Nov 13, 2008 - 10:21 I dislike this more than the original. |
| JustJeff (Somewhere in Kansas) | Posted: Nov 13, 2008 - 10:21 This is awful! I'm an old ELO fan but yikes! |
| old_shep (Iowa) | Posted: Nov 13, 2008 - 10:21 Britney... is that you ? |
| trekhead (Warped Space) | Posted: Nov 13, 2008 - 10:21 I am seriously torn here. Hate LA like POISON. Love ELO and don't mind seeing/hearing a cover... 6? Leave it a 5? Aggghhhhhhhh!!! |
| nagsheadlocal (North Carolina, the new New Jersey) | Posted: Nov 13, 2008 - 10:21 What's the commotion over this woman? An average voice, predictable production, and a re-tread song. My first 3 in quite a while. |
| teapot (in orbit) | Posted: Nov 13, 2008 - 10:20 Interesting cover. |

| Wasted | Posted: Nov 11, 2008 - 13:40 Upbeat, cheery... and AWFUL  |
| papaman (Downstate New Mexico) | Posted: Nov 11, 2008 - 13:39 ...and the special sound effects give it the Cher aura. |
| sheharazad | Posted: Nov 11, 2008 - 13:39 Bill? Please make it stop. |
| rollo_tomasi (32° 49' N 116° 58' W) | Posted: Nov 11, 2008 - 13:39 weak: but I'll give a three for all the cute rhymes |
| h_in_bristol (over there ^) | Posted: Nov 11, 2008 - 13:38 Heard the original a few day ago on the radio in the "oldies hour" and thought "oh sh*t, I am getting old". I loved it as a child... |
| UltraNurd (Boston, MA) | Posted: Nov 11, 2008 - 13:38 I approve of wild covers, even when they're not really my style. Also, I approve of the transition into real ELO. |

| ruthsownbook | Posted: Nov 11, 2008 - 13:37 This is like the happy-drugged-out version of ELO's classic - no likey. |
| gandalfbmg (3 mi from Paradise (Missouri)) | Posted: Nov 11, 2008 - 13:36 Everything about her just oozes cuteness, including this song...  |
| jagdriver (Tunin' in from the aptly-named Grass Valley, CA) | Posted: Nov 11, 2008 - 13:36 PATHETICALLY HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  |
