George Straits song ‘Blue Clear Sky’ was inspired by movie star Tom Hanks. The writers of the song said they were at the Hanks movie ‘Forrest Gump’ and the song started going through his head. The one line in the movie when Forrest says, ‘And out of the blue clear sky, Jenny came back’ stuck in his head. The writer thought, ‘hey, it’s clear blue sky,’ not ‘blue clear sky.’ The phrase stuck in his head and according to theboot.com, the song became a big hit in 1996.
