Blue Room (The Orb song)

"Blue Room" is a single by English electronic music duo the Orb.

The full 39-minute version features a number of samples, including a small portion of the beginning of "Mysterious Traveller" by Weather Report and a damaged portion of "Happy Birthday to You" by Marilyn Monroe at the end.

[6] The Orb thus decided to record a 39:58 version of "Blue Room" for a special release, as there would be only one track on the single.

Instead of performing, Alex Paterson and Kris Weston, the latter holding a toy sheep, played a chess-like game whilst passing a globus cruciger back and forth.

The performance had a profound impact on Robbie Williams, then a member of Take That, who later declared "that Top of the Pops changed my life".
