The Story Behind the Song
“Bring Me Sunshine” wasn't originally a Morecambe and Wise song. It was written by Arthur Kent and Sylvia Dee in 1966 and first became known through recordings by groups such as The Mills Brothers.
Its real fame came when the comedy duo Eric Morecambe and Ernie Wise adopted it as the closing theme for their BBC television shows from 1969 onwards. At the end of each programme, they would sing part of the song and perform their famous skipping dance, creating one of the most memorable images in British TV history.
In short, “Bring Me Sunshine” began as a standard pop song, but Morecambe and Wise transformed it into a beloved cultural icon that remains closely associated with their legacy.
