Let the Sun Shine In

Open Up Your Heart (and Let the Sunshine In)”. The song’s full title is Open Up Your Heart (And Let The Sunshine In). An artist named Stuart Hamblen wrote the song and originally released it in 1954 with his band the Cowboy Church Sunday School.  However, the song later made its debut in an episode of The Flintstones called “No Biz Like Show Biz.” This was the first episode of the final season. And in it, Fred Flinstone dreams of a concert where Pebbles and Bam Bam perform the catchy tune. Though Open Up Your Heart (And Let The Sunshine In) reached number 8 on the Billboard charts when released by Stuart Hamblen, most people today remember it from The Flintstones. And usually, they drum up memories of the song’s main chorus.  But according to a post in an online forum, when examining the song’s full lyrics as adults, some folks didn’t get the same warm and fuzzy impression from The Flintstones Let The Sunshine In that they did as kids.
