"When Sunny Gets Blue" is a song written by Marvin Fisher (music) and Jack Segal (lyrics), which has become a jazz standard.

In 1984, DJ Rick Dees, a radio personality at Los Angeles radio station KIIS-FM, recorded a parody of the song for an album, including the lyrics "When Sunny sniffs glue, her eyes get red and bulgy, then her hair begins to fall".

Dees sought permission to use the lyrics, but was refused; subsequently, he used 8 bars of the song under the fair use doctrine.

In 1986, composer Marvin Fisher and lyricist Jack Segal sued Dees for copyright violation, unfair competition, product disparagement, and defamation[4] in U.S. District Court for Los Angeles.

At the request of the parties involved, the district court issued a summary judgment, finding for Dees.
