"Walking on Sunshine" is a song written by Kimberley Rew for Katrina and the Waves' second album, Walking on Sunshine. It was released as the album's second single in 1985 (see 1985 in music) and reached the top five in Australia and the top ten in the United States and the United Kingdom. It is the Waves' first U.S. top forty hit, and their biggest success in the UK until "Love Shine a Light" (1997). The song was used by Telefónica to announce the takeover of BellSouth's Latin America division, and it is also used during establishing shots in the films The Secret of My Success (1987) and American Psycho (2000). It is the favourite song of Philip J. Fry, a fictional character in the television series Futurama.
In 2005, the storm surge of a storm named Hurricane Katrina devastated the city of New Orleans. Waves lead singer Katrina Leskanich was quoted in the New York Times as saying:
"The first time I opened the paper and saw 'Katrina kills 9,' it was a bit of a shock. It's a very sad situation, but I'm sure the strength and good will of the survivors will turn it around. I hope that the true spirit of 'Walking on Sunshine' will prevail. I would hate for the title to be tinged with sadness, and I will have to do my own part to help turn that around."
The song was, in fact, widely played in New Orleans in the months after the storm. Matthew Gerrard produced a cover of the song for singing duo Aly & AJ's debut album, Into the Rush. It was released as the album's third single in 2005 (see 2005 in music), and it was also used to promote the film Herbie: Fully Loaded (see Herbie: Fully Loaded (soundtrack)). The single's video features Aly & AJ performing, and is intercut with clips from the film Herbie: Fully Loaded. Only one minute and fifty-five seconds of the song is used for the video.
