Background
The routine starts on a rainy day on what seems to be the coach's treehouse with a stone arc window, a white leaf tree, a semi circled shape wooden door with branches surrounds it. The words "Mr. Blue Sky" fades in on the outside shot of the treehouse. Inside the treehouse, there is a wardrobe, mat and an ironing board. Some sneakers, a jacket and a wardrobe starts interacting. The ironing board suddenly closes and turns into a board which the coach use as a transportation source. The board transports the coach, and they start levitating. Other treehouses can be seen.
The board transports the coach to a bathroom with a badger. The badger is sitting on a toilet reading a newspaper. A hummingbird can be seen. A rope then falls down, which the coach holds. As they got flown, the board came again and transports the coach. A wooden bridge can be seen. Another badger is seen swinging on a branch. It then becomes sunny.
An umbrella then flies past. The coach holds it, and is transported to a cut tree stump with wooden fence and bushes. A scurry of squirrels can be seen cheering. An owl with two kids on tree hole can also been seen. The board comes back again, which the coach stands on, who is then transported. to a kitchen with a circle doorway. Cups, napkins and plates come flying from left to right. The coach is then transported to a bedroom with a badger and a squirrel. An arcade machine, a television, a tree covered with orange lights, books, a bike, toys and balls can be seen.
The coach is then transported to a tree stump. Three owls, a squirrel and a badger can be seen. Later, a hummingbird appears.

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.
- 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.[2]
- The ESRB website mentioned the badger sitting on a toilet reading a newspaper. However, they mistook it for a bear.
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 Inspira Animation[3] 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.
- The TV also uses the mockup HUD for Just Dance, which is usually seen in concept art.
