Joff Bush and his musical team do an excellent job of creating original compositions for the show that perfectly capture the mood and set up the viewer to be connected to the story. While re-watching it recently, I realized that the music used in the episode was an integral part of why I loved it so much, and I feel this way about most of the episodes. It was Daddy Put Down and after watching it, I just knew this was a special show. I will always remember my first episode of Bluey and the emotions I felt while watching it. There are many more classical compositions used throughout Bluey episodes and I hope that continues in future seasons. The music of Holst’s Jupiter and the story of Sleepytime will forever be married for me. The composition is a favorite of my husband’s and now when he plays it for us, I cry, just like I cry while watching the episode. It feels like they were made for each other. This episode has very little dialogue as the music is used to brilliantly bring out the emotion’s in Bingo’s dream and also fit’s in with the composition’s theme of planets.

Some notable ones to keep an ear out for are Mozart’s Turkish March or Rondo a la turca in Magic Xylophone, Orpheus in the Underworld heard in Shops, Tchykovsky’s Dance of the Flowers in Ice Cream, a beautiful rendition of Mozart’s Ode to Joy that fits perfectly with the lesson of Bike, and my absolute favorite, Holst’s Jupiter in the episode Sleepytime. “Ladies and Gentlemen, I will now play for you, the Rondo a la turca!” I didn’t expect to hear Mozart’s Turkish March in a children’s cartoon, but I was impressed! In fact, my husband and I love that our daughter is being introduced to classical music while watching Bluey, and I love how they have perfectly used those compositions to bring the stories to life.
BLUEY SLEEPYTIME SONG FULL
Every time Bluey comes on my kiddo and I dance to the song and shout out Mum! Dad! Bingo! Bluey! in excitement knowing the next 7 minutes will be full of laughs, lessons, and sometimes even tears. When the music pauses the family freezes, however, there is always someone who doesn’t freeze in time and they are out! It’s a brilliant way to introduce the family and most importantly, Bluey. As the melody dances around it shows the Heeler family playing a game of freeze dance.

It’s the ringtone on my phone, everyone in our house seems to be singing it constantly, it can bring my toddler in from any room and it’s so catchy that even Mum and Dad hum it on the show!Ĭomposer Joff Bush did an excellent job creating the perfect opening song that is fun, catchy, sets up the theme and draws the viewer in. From the catchy and fun theme song to the use of Holst’s Jupiter in Sleepytime, the music of Bluey is genius! Composer Joff Bush and his team do an amazing job at perfectly bringing an episode to life through music and fans love it so much that there is even a Bluey album! Below I will explore the main musical elements that help make Bluey so appealing to every generation.


A big part of it’s appeal for me is the music.
BLUEY SLEEPYTIME SONG SERIES
It is celebrated as a wholesome and true to life series that perfectly captures what it is like to parent young children. If you have watched an episode of Bluey (or all of them many times over, like us) it’s easy to see why the show is beloved. There are many fan groups on social media that prove that it is not only loved by Australians, but by children and adults in the US, UK, Canada and many more countries. The Australian animated series, Bluey, is turning out to be a big hit all over the world. How the music of Bluey helped make me a fan.
