The iconic Mr. Blue Sky is often a favourite on a night out or at a party, but are you sure you know all the words?
People have been shocked to discover the real final line of the song, having spent years thinking it was a repetition of the title of the song. In reality, the line is an instruction for those listening to the song on vinyl.
So, if you thought the last line of the song sounded like an electronic voice saying 'Mr. Blue Sky', you'd be wrong. The voice actually says 'Please turn me over', instructing the listener to turn the vinyl over to the B side.

A viral TikTok video revealed the true lyrics, and fans of the Electric Light Orchestra's hit song were shocked. TikToker Sam shared the video, filming his own record player playing the vinyl, with text written over the video saying: "when u realise he's saying "please turn me over" not "mr blue sky" bc its the end of the side."
The comments section is full of people discovering this for the first time. One person said: "I always thought it was mr blue sky-ie" and another saying: "I thought it was mr blue sky bright", while a third commented: "I swore he was saying "Mr blue sky why"".
Others revealed that they already knew the real lyrics, with one person commenting: "Every time this song plays I tell someone in the room this. I used to think it said mr blue sky-y and figured it out when I got the record." and another said: "It's "Please turn me over" as confirmed by Jeff Lynne. It was put there to instruct the listener to listen to the rest of the album."
