What makes this scene so engaging is Groot’s complete obliviousness to his team mates-slash-parents’ danger as they fight a seriously deranged space monster. The Guardians get beat to hell as Groot grooves along, manically chases space rodents, and then waves to Gamora mid-fight. Gamora kindly takes the time to say, “Groot, get out of the way! You’re going to get hurt. Hi!” in between blasting at the nasty tentacled slime beast. It’s a hoot. You can’t beat this stuff. (I’m SO going to miss James Gunn by the time we get to GotG Vol 3.)
I wrote a previous article about how the first song on my daily morning playlist is Deadpool’s fabulous opening scene, set to Juice Newton’s Angel in the Morning. Now I’m writing to report Mr. Blue Sky always follows on the heels of that softer tune, and gets me ready to dance around and greet the day.

Here’s the absolutely precious opening scene in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 for your viewing enjoyment. Why can’t all movies be this much fun?
These are the lyrics to Mr. Blue Sky, so you can sing along while Baby Groot does his joyful boogie:
Mr. Blue Sky
There ain’t a cloud in sight
It’s stopped rainin’ everybody’s in a play
And don’t you know
It’s a beautiful new day, hey hey
See how the sun shines brightly in the city
On the streets where once was pity
Mister blue sky is living here today, hey hey
You had to hide away for so long (so long)
Where did we go wrong?
You had to hide away for so long (so long)
Where did we go wrong?
Welcome to the human race
A celebration, mister blue sky’s up there waitin’
And today is the day we’ve waited for
You had to hide away for so long (so long)
Where did we go wrong?
We’re so pleased to be with you
Look around see what you do
Everybody smiles at you
We’re so pleased to be with you
Look around see what you do
Everybody smiles at you
Mister blue sky
But soon comes mister night creepin’ over
Now his hand is on your shoulder
Never mind I’ll remember you this
I’ll remember you this way
You had to hide away for so long (so long)
Where did we go wrong?
We’re so pleased to be with you
Look around see what you do
Everybody smiles at you
Mister blue sky…

I realize this isn’t the best quality video version of the opening scene from Gotg Vol 2. Ping me if you find something with more clarity. It’s still pretty great.
