DEEP DIVE
TikTokers are sprinting through their homes pretending to be different people reacting to a specific scenario as part of the “Mr. Blue Sky” TikTok trend. It is also referenced as the Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2 trend since the song “Mr. Blue Sky” by Electric Light Orchestra is featured in a fight sequence in the Marvel movie. These videos began rising in popularity on June 10. There are currently over 95,000 videos linked to the audio.
Lyrics included in the “Mr. Blue Sky” TikTok videos:
Sun is shinin’ in the sky
There ain’t a cloud in sight
It’s stopped rainin’ everybody’s in the play
And don’t you know
It’s a beautiful new day, hey heyRunnin’ 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
