Olivia Newton John & ELO - Xanadu

[GeekoRoman]

@JBofBrisbane - you're right and I am enlightened!

[BernardProfitendieu]

@MisterWillie060 this is disco. clues: 1) a disco beat. 2) roller disco location.

[franxthe1]

@BernardProfitendieu this is ELO!

[BernardProfitendieu]

@austinmahoneloverish no

[cacocakes1]

My word! Olivia is on fire here! Not sure I've ever seen her look this hot!!! Phew!

[jhowardgators]

One of the most beautiful creatures to ever walk this earth.

[sugarpiemeowmix]

I love this song but the club has never looked like a good time.

[TheGiselinha123]

Nossa quanta saudade!

[Zudelsupp]

A great movie in the year 1980, starring with Olivia Newton John, Michael Beck and the great dancer Gene Kelly. Thank You

[Singefeather489]

God! I was in a musical and I had to sing this song and I am cursing my director because he made me sing soooooooooo much higher than this! You are very lucky to not be forced to sing that high Olivia! XD

[argusito1]

Siempre en mis recuerdos... Olivia Newton-John y XANADU!!!

[butterfly48ism]

I Love this video and olivia Newton John. Where in Xanadu..

[mullerbela]

[scubalicious67]

If you can, just open your mind, and your eyes for it on the shelf, and give it a whirl... don't jump to judge (no, definitely not Oscar-worthy material!), but for pure entertainment's sake, just outright fun... just do it. Or maybe that's something only we old kids can appreciate ;)

[DEP717]

@scubalicious67 It isn't a bad musical, it just came out at a bad time when the Disco thing was losing popularity quickly. A lot of talent went into making this movie.

[MisterWillie060]

@DEP717 If you call this disco.. then what was KC and the sunshine band? or the Beegee's?

[DEP717]

@MisterWillie060 I hear you, the thing was the movie was set in a very Disco-ey Roller dance hall. Rightly or wrongly some people had a backlash on it for that. It has a lot of great music and a lot of talent went into making the movie. I'm not criticising it, just saying what I was hearing around that time from some folks.

[scubalicious67]

stuff skippin' all over here tonite jeesh! Okay, was 13... a good memory in some pretty rough times... and to the fellow(ette) rocker -- I was and still am all about the metal. This tempered me, but always liked ONJ, ELO, AND Gene Kelly ;)

[Taxgirl38]

What a frightening flashback! Still a great song tho.

[austinmahoneloverish]

Is that Andy Gibb in this video?

[JBofBrisbane]

@austinmahoneloverish - No, Michael Beck.

[ginobilicanalla]

Olivia Newton-John y la Electric Light Orchestra..." Xanadu ".El alcanzó el puesto Nº 1 el 12 de julio 1980 y se mantuvo en la cima por 2 semanas...les dí suerte parece, mi mamá no creo q haya opinado lo mismo pobre..parir semejante animalito...

[giselle4695]

olivia a cantora e atriz mas linda e talentosa

[epitavares]

Oliva sonho de todos os adolescentes dos anos 80, não tinha cantora mais linda que Ela. Love Olivia.

[tucareis1973]

Esse musical esta sendo apresentado no Rio de Janeiro it is wonderfull

[panzerrat]

This is a guilt trip of the highest order!

[jhdawgfan]

This is one the best movies ever made and one of my all-time favorites, How can you not love this movie?

[GeekoRoman]

@jhdawgfan That would be because Robin Gibb was absolutely rubbish, jhdawgfan. It could have been a remarkable movie, which could have reinvigorated the musical form. But Andy Gibb was so awful, all persons who wished to leave the movie theatre with their frontal lobes intact had to look away.

(I like the BeeGees, btw - but this wasn't the BeeGees)

the music was great - the soundtrack is fab. It was just Andy G being so glaekit that spoiled it!

[JBofBrisbane]

@GeekoRoman - Mate, you're thinking of Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, starring The Bee Gees and Peter Frampton. This is Xanadu, and the male lead was Michael Beck, not Andy Gibb.

But yes, his acting sucked.

[blackmamba99971]

This was probably one of the better songs of the movie. Mainly because ELO was the music behind Olivia's beautiful voice. The song itself was surprising to even Olivia, she once said that she didn't think that she could get that one high note near the end of the song. Still gives me chills when I hear it though. A bad flop at the box office after Grease which did phenomenal. But it did help Olivia paint her way to becoming Australia's pop queen. Fantastic singer.

[mucusmules1984]

gene kelly?!?!? wtf was that all about lol

[JBofBrisbane]

@mucusmules1984 - Why don't you rent or download the movie and find out?

[phillipaj]

Her Finest Moment.

[kjolow]

@InglebertHumperdink1 : Huh? The movie was a flop??!! Gosh.. I didnt know that. I only remembered watching it when i was around your age... and enjoyed it very much... and feel in love with this song. :) Yeah... Olivia!!!! :)

[19ccj65]

Honestly, the last 10 minutes of "Xanadu" are my happy place.

[Bryt25]

A thousand curses on you EDDIE MAIR!!! Did I really sign up for these stupid e-mails????

[pullformore]

Damn you Eddie Mair... why oh why did I click???

[balzac1024]

Another beautiful song from ELO

[InglebertHumperdink1]

Too bad this movie flopped so incredibly bad...it doesn't look that bad...mind you, I haven't seen it. :)

[kosh2501]

I totally remember this from when I was 7. Her voice back then..and even now, is still the most

beautiful thing I've heard. Long live Olivia Newton-John and the 1980's man I miss it so..

[madscotsman2012]

Olivia was the most beautiful babe, ever !!!

[bjggjb]

Looks like ONJ is stroking that dude's package @1:37.

[ilovebobgunton]

1980...Feels like so long ago.

I was 4 and in pre-school.

[MrQuestionAuthority]

@ilovebobgunton

You were just a baby back then. I was 11, and this song is a guilty pleasure for me. I grew up on hard rock, but damn did Oliva Newton John make me happy in ways that you wouldn't have understood back then.

[ilovebobgunton]

@MrQuestionAuthority I love this song. I haven't seen the movie,which I know is suppposed to be crappy.

[mythbustersfan3456]

i can't not believe Olivia-Newton's name in the movie is Kira! the same name as me! wow!

[thx138ify]

やりて～

オリビアエトウ　俺の奥さん？

[LollyQueen1000]

Ich wurde nach ihr benannt, sie ist echt hübsch !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[LollyQueen1000]

Upps !!!

[andyt1313]

Movie was horrible but it spawned a couple great Olivia songs.

[cmisalerno]

que linda chica!!!!!!que linda canciòn.Alguno sabe que hace ahora Olivia???

[tonin1969]

ESSE MUSICAL E MUITO FRACO. MAS AS MUSICAS SÃO 10.

[PlanTonto]

Didn't this whore drown her booyfriend?

[fl3162]

She still is hot ...

[mikeys12]

MAN SHES SOOO FRIGGIN HOT HERE MMMM

[sespit1]

Someone should walk in with a shotgun !!!

[giselle4695]

olivia simplesmente linda

[TheRicko1964]

hapy new york



[FloridaRaider]

life much much less complicated then

[kikomiko1]

@FloridaRaider I don't know, this looks pretty complicated. Can you imagine the logistics of creating this 3 minute video? Choreographing the dancers, building the set, making the costumes, setting the lights, synchronizing Olivia's lip movements, and a million other trivialities that I can't even think of! No, it was probably just as complicated back then as it is now.

[hickory01au]

she is not realy an australian kiwi i think

[BigOrangeTitan]

@hickory01au She's English, but has lived in Austrailia most of her life. 

[jcrulesfootball]

just found out this was number one when i was born lol!!

[ascrodin]

Why wasn't Jeff Lynne in the video?

[Firio54]

Excelente melodia, es una de mis preferidas con esta bellisima Guerita Australiana

[thesupersuki]

haste schlechte laune hör mal rein in xanadu....^^

dann haste gute laune und der rest der welt kann dich mal.....^^

XXXAAAANNNNNNAAADDDDDDUUUUUUUu­uu <3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3

[popnutty]

One of the best from the disco era! Luv luv luv the intro and orchestral components through out. Very Roger Joseph Manning Jr. and The Wondermints.

[razkev]

Man is Olivia hot in this video!

[jimmyhd1969]

@razkev Because it was made over thirty years ago.

[ugalawdog98]

@razkev You have to believe we are magic. :)

[merzhin]

"In Xanadu did Kubla Khan

A stately pleasure-dome decree:

Where Alph, the sacred river, ran

Through caverns measureless to man

Down to a sunless sea..."

[mystikrhythms61]

@merzhin Always thought Rush's version of Xanadu was a bit more "complicated" than this one, and it would definitely put your roller disco skills to the test!

[ipe1958]

ok biisi pidän varsinkin elosta

[badrobie86]

A place where nobody dared to go... Dharmaville in Lost :)

[ZingsVideos]

Fun video. A lot of WTF scenes. Pink leg warmers on a guy? 2:01 That was odd even in the 80s.

[Retardretroguy]

@ZingsVideos Nothing's weird in Xanadu

[murraymae]

@ZingsVideos The whole vid is one big WTF! Had to re-watch to see, but youre right-there was no point in history when pink leg warmers were ok on a guy! Hilarious! love the song though!

[joyfullman777]

such a nice voice and so sexy

[sandrawales]

i loved this film!

[garyw930]

What a song. What a babe. I would like to recommend the book 'A Concise Guide To Eighties' Music' by Karl Vorderman. The author is a big fan of this track.

[palpatine17]

LOL I used to have the biggest crush on a girl because she reminded me of Olivia Newton John. Ah the embarrassing memories I'd like to forget.. <:-P

[ForeverXanadu]

I love this song and I love Olivia newton-John. My dog's name is Xanadu.

[Artmutorig]

urax, come on : that was when elo was already "far ahead over the top"

[VanDutch10]

I love livvy xxx

[naafiboy]

AMAZING <3

[MsFanmail]

g8 song !

[MMGWsceptic]

What this video should have been: 3 mins of non-stop Olivia. The woman is a goddess who just lights up the screen. But instead the director choose to focus on a bunch of bad dancers in nightmare 70's clothes LOL

[andy232400]

Omg I love that song so much.. It just gets better every time I hear it.. Gives me shivers ;)

[MrGalo7338]

Yeah I miss my childhood too,onj you are the best,your voice is too beautiful

[MrBradhit]

Jeff the genius such a clever guy, would love to have him around for Christmas.



[panzerrat]

I was 10 when this movie came out. I miss my childhood!

[trha2222]

siga lom es tisella pon, eqa fom?

[kerjan1]

love her from grease

[GeorgeVreelandHill]

Love Xanadu.

One of my favorite movies.

George Vreeland Hill

[abakusek]

is it me, or does this version of the song play a little faster than in the movie?!

[markpos1976]

@abakusek It does. And ONJ sounds a little more 'chipmunk'

.

[Snapscape]

I miss Gene Kelly. That guy could dance - even in his 70's.

[smellysmug]

kin hello !!!!

[maddogtannen1966]

Well O N J is still very sexy ! ! To this day ! Shes had a few hardships and has bounced back . Remember Olivia that the sexiest part of a women is............................­......Her brain. Nothing more boring than a women without a brain . Now the Neanderthals out there will say this is faggy but thats O.K. Just tells us all how uneducated they are....I really appreciate theyer point of view..Theyer easier to spot...And fairly quickly too ! !

[BrianSmithNow]

I like the first few seconds of her entrance (when you don't see the pants). LOL

[bigjulios1970]

estos son los mejores vídeos que estoy recopilando para tenerlos dentro de mi colección y enviar lo mejor de la música ok gracias por los mejores vídeos y música gracias...!!!

[Museatlantis]

This is a nice song

[MrGalo7338]

I love ONJ

[ruandted]

Why do I go weak at the knees .

[Theghostswithin]

Ha...you must be really homesick my friend...but I guess we always love Libby !!!

[Bosquera18]

Me encanta esta cancion es muy preciosa, aunque la pelicula no lo sea.

[hoibsh]

Anyone know where Frank and Lydia DeMarco are? I'm supposed to keep following them. I'm on the Atlantic City Boardwalk. It's 9:52 p.m., August 15, 1982, and I'm still lost. Help me.

[coolioisafoolio]

God damn ELO, you make such amazing music "The Whale" and then this impossibly bad stuff!

[panzerrat]

F*** you, Harry Hamlin or your look-a-like. At the time, Olivia Newton John was hot as shit!  'Nuff said.

[AStys83]

What the hell is she wearing? Sequined pirate pants with matching leggings? I'm freaked out!

[cool22867]

BTW I LKY ONJ AS WELL BT CMON XANADU??? ANYWAY GOOD SONG

[cool22867]

wtf is xanadu?????????????? anybody agree

[artistaroxy]

@cool22867 Theme song from movie, no pirate pants in movie...just skates

[MungoArawn]

@cool22867 In Citizen Kane, Xanadu was the castle Charles Foster Kane built for his wife. It was supposed to become this resort with all the luxury possible. So far, that resembles with this song. However, his wife didn't long for material things, but for love, and so she left him. Xanadu become this great big empty house, in which Kane eventually died.

[Austropop01]

very good, greetings from austria

[AaronMcBarron]

I'd Xanadu her...

[KAleyBaldwin]

Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs' IMDb page sent me here.

[lewisner]

ONJ looked SO fit here.

[frankelastic]

fuck lady gaga and justin beiber! I love the 80's!

[trha2222]

@frankelastic Come on, are you really trying to say that Olivie Newton John is a better singer than Justin Bieber?

[Mirian72]

@trha2222  ...... perto dela nem dá pra dizer que ele é cantor, em que mundo vc vive.

[gruntovenbarf]

watch your language

[blstonee]

I just thought this is a birth of Circle du Soleil.

[simrob1000]

[JulianMcMillian]

♫Xanadu ur neon lights will shine for u Xanadu ♫

[Samwise187]

I love this. I just do. Straight and not ashamed

[JeneeCheryvh214]

so bin aus hamburg

[bellbottoms4ever1]

listening to the xanadu soundtrack record side 1 with elo songs was great.but side 2 with onj was a total waste of vinyl.it was a tough purchase knowing you only got a few songs by the electric light orchestra.

[polyestersuits4ever]

the version that jeff lynne sings is so much better than than this one where you have to listen to ONJ'S high pitched squeal.wow! she cannot sing. you would think jeff lynne could have found a better woman vocalist to sing this .. let's see in the late 1970's there must have been at least one.

[ITILII]

@polyestersuits4ever Olivia is a great singer, Jeff Lynne is very talented but his voice isn't all that great....then again polyestersuit, well that says something about your taste(?) :-/

[FluffMaster101]

Roger rules.

[PearlMoon36]

Hahaha.. okay I laugh, can't help it...however I love this movie ...

[QrtOpus1]

@PearlMoon36 I laugh too - but I love ELO so it's ok. :)

[RAPHAELTENEBRES]

OLIVIA SEI MERAVIGLIOSAMENTE BELLA!!!!

[LedZeppQueenBeatles]

Ok, i watched this movie stoned and it all nade sense.

[madhatter0082]

@LedZeppQueenBeatles - No worries, it doesn't make any sense while sober either.

[sv4rt4lf]

Olivia Newton John was friggin' hot!!!!

[ItalianGirl81]

She is a great singer!

[kingj2038]

This movie needed more ELO and less Olivia Newton John.

[ajdc88]

SHE IS SO HOT OOOOMMMMMGGGGGGsssss

[Mauser2012]

No No, I was ashamed to admit I liked Cyndi Lauper. This is Lauper on Gay steroids.

[clickforseo]

@GothamProtector1 ?.... 'ELOs reputation and popularity was ruined because of this..' what! na. Look, It was a lame musical with the possible exception of the Gene Kelly and Newton John dancing scene. But lets not get pedantic, ELO had nothing to worry about, the film bounded their music into mainstream cinema,and their popularity continues today. Its like saying Flash Gordon ruined Freddie Mercury's career.....and of course nope.

[hypernova8787]

She is so pretty. I love Grease too. my woman love me for it so I don`t care.

Does it get any cuter?

Take care all!!!

[MissLeigh78]

Freaking beautiful.

[brandnewstance12]

Those are the days when women looked like WOMEN!! With class and respect! now all you see is Fake, boobs, tans, faces!!! Bunch of Tramps really

[TheDellanator]

@brandnewstance12 Hey c'mon we're not all like that! But alot are. And those fake cake faces seem to attract all the men. So more girls feel like they have to meet up with that image.
