Trivia[]

General[]

Released in 1977, Mr. Blue Sky is the oldest track to appear in Just Dance 2022.
Mr. Blue Sky is the seventh cover and tenth appearance overall attributed to The Sunlight Shakers in the series.
- The We Bare Band was the official band group to cover the song for Toonime Edition, but still credited on the same artist name cover.
  - This is the second song that was covered in-game for Toonime Edition by the "We Bare Band", after Aquarius/Let The Sunshine In on Just Dance 2014, which also happened to have the same credited name as well.
A redundant "the" is added at the start of the lyric "Sun is shining in the sky".
The orchestral piece at the end of the song has been removed, resulting in the song being shortened by 82 seconds.
- This happens to align with the rerecording done by Electric Light Orchestra member Jeff Lynne in 2012. However, according to producer Steve Ouimette, this similarity is coincidental.

Routine[]

Chandelier, Girl Like Me, Think About Things, and Mr. Blue Sky are the fifth through eighth routines in the Just Dance series to feature an animated coach, after Naughty Girl (Rabbid Peach Version), Shaky Shaky, Mi Mi Mi (P1), and Bangarang.
- Mr. Blue Sky is the third routine in the series to incorporate claymation, after Mi Mi Mi and Soy Yo.
Mr. Blue Sky is the eleventh routine with the Panda as a dancer.
- However, unlike other routines to feature the Panda as the dancer, this is the first routine where the coach is animated. A video of Cain Kitsais performing the choreography was captured and sent to animation company to create the final routine.
The background appears in Rock Your Body, along with those of China, Levitating and Think About Things.
During the bridge, the routine is displayed on a TV in the background. The reflection also displays a TV, but the latter screen only displays a red Just Dance logo over a black background.
