More on Mr. Blue Sky
Description from Wikipedia:
Mr. Blue Sky is a song by the rock group Electric Light Orchestra.
The song forms the fourth and last track on the "Concerto for a Rainy Day" suite on side three of the original two-LP set. The song concludes with a heavily vocoded voice saying "Please Turn Me Over", Jeff Lynne's humorous way of telling the listener to turn the record over to side four.
The song was the third Hot 100 top 40 single to be taken from the album Out of the Blue (which album was released in November 1977), after "Turn To Stone" and "Sweet Talkin' Woman". The single reached number 6 in the UK and number 35 in the USA. It was also released on special limited edition blue vinyl.
In 2006, The Delgados released a cover of the song on their The Complete BBC Peel Sessions compilation. The song was voted as Anthem of the Midlands and is played before each Birmingham City Football Club home game to honour Jeff Lynne and his friendship with retired football player Trevor Francis.
