Blue Skies (Irving Berlin Song)
"Blue Skies" is a popular song, written by Irving Berlin in 1926. "Blue Skies" is one of many popular songs whose lyrics use a " bluebird of happiness" as a symbol of cheer: "Bluebirds singing a song/Nothing but bluebirds all day long." The sunny optimism of the lyrics are undercut by the minor key giving the words an ironic feeling. History The song was composed in 1926 as a last-minute addition to the Rodgers and Hart musical ''Betsy''. Although the show ran for only 39 performances, "Blue Skies" was an instant success, with audiences on opening night demanding 24 encores of the piece from star Belle Baker. During the final repetition, Baker forgot her lyrics, prompting Berlin to sing them from his seat in the front row.Laurence Bergreen, ''As Thousands Cheer: The Life of Irving Berlin'', 1996, p. 277. In 1927, the music was published and Ben Selvin's recorded version (as The Knickerbockers with vocals by Charles Kaley) was a hit. That same year, it became one of the first s ...

Blue Skies Research
Blue skies research, also called blue sky science, is scientific research in domains where "real-world" applications are not immediately apparent. It has been defined as "research without a clear goal" and "curiosity-driven science". Proponents of this mode of science argue that unanticipated scientific breakthroughs are sometimes more valuable than the outcomes of agenda-driven research, heralding advances in genetics and stem cell biology as examples of unforeseen benefits of research that was originally seen as purely theoretical in scope. Because of the inherently uncertain return on investment, blue-sky projects are sometimes politically and commercially unpopular and tend to lose funding to research perceived as being more reliably profitable or practical. Terminology The term blue sky research comes from a 1976 retrospective of research done in 1869 on why the sky is blue. This research was initially thought to be of no value but led to many other discoveries of much more ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
