Rainn Wilson Says “Mr. Blue Sky” was Supposed to be “The Office” Theme Song

November 13, 2015

LOS ANGELES (AP) — If things had gone differently, the Electric Light Orchestra song “Mr. Blue Sky” would have been the theme song for the TV show “The Office.” Actor Rainn Wilson tells Billboard magazine that producer Greg Daniels sent a list of potential songs to the cast and let them vote. Among the songs under consideration were “Better Things” by The Kinks and “Float On” by Modest Mouse. Wilson says the cast all wanted “Mr. Blue Sky,” but the show “LAX” was already using it. “LAX” was canceled after one season. “The Office” ended up using a song by Jay Ferguson, famous for the 1978 hit “Thunder Island.”
