Jeff Lynne - Video (Original MV, not movie clip)

[pkwmarypoppins]

This song is so awesome. One of my top Jeff Lynne songs.

[tmlodzik]

One of the best song ever. Lot of electric dreams..........

[diuga1]

One of the actors in the video looks like the great bud Cort (who provides the voice for the computer in the ELECTRIC DREAMS flick)...good tune!

[billyboi57]

@cmt007, Where can someone get this video? I found the original Electric Dreams on Bitlord and so i have that. But I want this too. Thnx

[centralsea]

I found the Electric Dreams Lp at the thrift store recently.  This song kicks ass!

[popiconroro]

This is soo amazing! Music that can be played back now and still gives you goosebumps, priceless!!!!

[mrscry]

@popiconroro Screw his classic stuff, his soundtrack work is fantastic... ELO kicked butt on the Xanadu soundtrack, but these Electric Dreams songs are better.

[skanemermaid]

Why does the sound effect say "jewjewjewjew" at the start?

[centurymasters]

this song is TIMELESS! totally rocks in every way. LOVE it!

[szwagierism]

Great! Świetne! Amazing! Niesamowite! "Video" is immortal!! J.L. for ever!! Jaworzno-Poland.

[MrPicard71]

A perfect musician, a perfect song!!!

[ELOSHAZZY]

I love ELO/JEFF LYNNE <3 <3............

[lienweeliang]

I was one of the fortunate few who managed to get the Electric Dreams soundtrack CD and I love all the tracks. Repeat: all the tracks!

[mrscry]

@lienweeliang I bought the soundtrack on tape in college, and the second I got home I cranked "Madeline's Theme"... my friend walks into my room and says sarcastically, "Awwwww, is this beautiful?" I wanted to hit him.

[lienweeliang]

@mrscry Aww.. your friend doesn't know how to appreciate beautiful music .. and movie.

[cometandcupids]

The song would fit in nicely with the Time album.

[sweetgee0072003]

I can remember buying this single when I was 17 years old. Now I'm 45. The song sounds great like the first time I heard it. Jeff is truly a legend. His musik will be forever greaat.

[davidakadb]

Jeff is such a musical genius. 

[bumpysfriend]

MUSIC CAN NOT GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS SONG!!

[MrJeep5551]

@bumpysfriend Yes, my FAVORITE EVER

[bumpysfriend]

MUSICAL HERO OF MINE....FOREVER!!!....AWESOME ARTIST!!!!

[juanluisoso]

Jeff Lynne, grande entre los grandes!!!

[heldan22]

I know it came out a couble of years before, but the memories of the spring and summer of 1986 comes back to me when i hear it.

[gasplut]

Timeless

[shepshepherd]

Great song from a great film!

[FinnMove]

This song lives on and on. I have known this song since 1984 when this song was brand new. And still makes me smile and into a very good mood.

[latinguy67]

I LOVE this song...and the movie. I was in the 11th grade when this movie came out. Every song was ear candy! 

[Miracle490d]

cmt007 I'm really glad this isn't a movie clip. thanks for the tip upfront. i loved the movie but its great to hear for the first time the song upfront instead of behind talking.

[pyrogyra72]

I wish the movie "Electric Dreams" was on DVD. Very underrated movie.

[BonelessSausage]

@pyrogyra72 Yeah, it looks like it is available on DVD in the UK but you have to have a Regional DVD player. Region 2. The US is 1.

[bencrea1]

what an amazing video clip

[spongebobstoenail]

the world is on video!! only when plugged in tho..

[u43009035]

Jeff Lynne RULE! I LOVE him so bad!

[FinnMove]

@u43009035 I remember when this song was brand new in the autumn 1984.

Liked that time and this jolly song !

[Thommycool]

nice!

[jlbuttazzoni]

Many thanks for your information!

[trossachs2003]

that dog looks like mr Oiseau.

How funny - back in the days when "VCR" meant kick-ass modern!

[ermayo93]

Jeff Lynne and Giorgio Moroder's music in the same movie....now you cannot get any better than that!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ronh73]

@ermayo93 That sure is a lot! But if I let my imagination run...Jeff Lynne, Giorgio Moroder and Trevor Horn in one soundtrack...wonder what that would sound like ;-).

[ELONut]

Great track that should have smashed the lamo 80s charts apart! but didn't :(.

I always thought the sound he did here was very similar to The Balance of Power Stuff

[odserick]

goofy song but it has such a beautiful melody.

[BonelessSausage]

I had the 45. Don't remember the B-side.

[sjchappie]

This song is such a mood booster. :)

[samuelwill]

I love this song!

[razer868]

i've waited more than 30 years to see this clip! thanks.

[ZenBarracuda]

Jeff Lynne owes me a pair of jeans. I visited his house many years ago and... it's a long story.

[billyboi57]

We have lots of time!!!

[ZenBarracuda]

I fell onto the gravel on Jeff's driveway when he lived at Walsh Hall in the centre of England - many years ago - and tore a hole in my jeans. And no, I hadn't been drinking.

[mrbluesky2]

The king of pop is still alive!!!!

Long live king Lynne

[reichmarshall]

The guy with the beard (who ISN'T Jeff Lynne) is Bud Cort, who did the voice of the computer in the movie. You may also know him as Harold in Harold and Maude. He doesn't actually appear in Electric Dreams but at least he gets some face time in this video!

[EOPBuck]

Yes!! Thanx for posting this......

Jeff Lynne IS a genius!!

[collinlaupiano]

Really thank you so much for posting this song. I last heard it more than 20 years ago. This is probably my all time favourite song.

[4nnoma3suke]

電車男のオープニングにはこっちの方が良かったかも

[bazza0173]

I love this track.. but when Jeff sings oooohooohhooo.. i can't help but think.. BILLY JOEL! lol

[Fanatic80s]

Loved the movie and 3 copies of the soundtrack on vinyl.

[Randyh9]

"kiss me Groucho..."

[wmschroeder]

This has been stuck in my head for days..... And I've played it like 8438569325 times. It's so amazing!!!!!!

[honchochief]

@wmschroeder its been playing in my head for months lol!

[MrJeep555]

@wmschroeder My favorite song EVER. I crank it in my jeep all day long!

[benvin1971]

@wmschroeder I have seen this movie twice. The first time in Puerto Rico on a summer on a Friday at 9:00 in Telemundo Inc. PR. and I got suck in my head. Finally i got it. Last Saturday I watch it after almost 24 years.

[wmschroeder]

hahahahaha Awesome!

[EOPBuck]

Jeff Lynne is a musical GENIUS!!!!!!

[punkass878]

Perfect! - The Best Song Ever!!!!!

[sebasj1978]

Pure magic. I just can't stop listening to this over and over again. Jeff Lynne rules.

[capnamo]

[mattanddi62]

Great song but I actually like the song "Let it Run" better.

[AYRYZIGER]

Video~~ eo~ eo~ oh oh!

[FinnMove]

i remember this great song in 1984.

I was not accepted in the Finnish army.

great days 1984- 85.

[fatman0349]

[kindbluey]

Great Song & Movie!!!!!!  :-)

[StarlightsKitten]

Where can i get this song from? Itunes doesnt appear to have it :( im gutted x.

[videodude4]

I have it. Would you like it? what format?

[blushadow08]

What would you have sung to your girlfriend; this song or Edgard's Love is Love?

<pls reply<

[FinnMove]

I like this song very much !

It brings memories to me of the year 1984

which I remember with a warm heart.

I fact I had the LP Electric Dreams which

included this song.

[jlbuttazzoni]

@FinnMove Excuse me... The LP was only Jeff Lyne´s or it had another musicians?

In that case, which?

What was the movie about?

Thanks.

[FinnMove]

@jlbuttazzoni This LP was a soundtrack. Jeff Lynne wrote two songs to it.This one and Let It Run. They were in the original LP Electric Dreams. But as far as I know Jeff Lynne had nothing to do with the movie itself but these songs only.

[PoPoNellie]

Though I like this song I kinda like Edgars version too. To bad "Moles" had to cut him off.

[markwang77]

Dunno if it's nostalgia or just plain ol' sentimentality, but this one of my favorite all-time romantic songs.

[sleepconvention]

I love the progressions in this song. Long live beautiful melodies over intelligent 8th-note synth bass!!! Live for it. This is one of the better examples of it. For the rest, go to Ultravox.

[AdamStabelli666]

I wish I had Jeff's voice and talents.

[MRMILO57]

Does any one know where I can buy the dvd to Electric Dreams 1984?

[laineycrusoe]

The DVD was only released in Singapore and it is extremely rare. You're more likely to find it on video.

[MRMILO57]

thanks mate.

[Ryan199403]

will they release it world wide?

[laineycrusoe]

I'm not sure. Technically, the Singapore version is on VCD (a bit like an early version of DVD).

[leorosero]

que super cancion, una de las mejores bandas sonoras de todos los tiempos

[f01re]

Thanks for posting this, I spent my youth listening to this OST.

So is the other guy in the video Richard Tandy then ?

[laineycrusoe]

If you mean the guy with the beard and glasses, then no, but Tandy does appear in the promo at about 2:05 (well at least I think it's him)

[f01re]

Cheers :)

[templeclay]

The guy in the beard and glasses in the video is Bud Cort (Harold and Maude) and is also the voice of Edgar in the Electric Dreams.

[ShiveCanber]

Remember this song when it was released in Spring 1985 and even managed a poor quality copy of it at the time. I think it was in the film 'Electric Dreams' which was out the previous year and spawned the UK top 3 heat of the same title for Giorgio Moroder and Phil Oakey (of Human League). The ELO hit 'Calling America' (which came out in early 1986) was an almost identical song) to which Jeff Lynne is the lead singer.

[laineycrusoe]

Cool, you can tell which bit is from Beatles Forever! You've all heard of Jeff Lynne's 2 contributions to Electric Dreams (Video! and Let It Run) but have you ever heard his third song for this film? It's called Sooner Than Later and it was released as the b-side of this song. Does anyone know where to download Sooner Than Later cos I have the other 2 songs.

[totallyacoustic]

Hi,

The song is called 'Sooner Or Later' not sooner and later.

[totallyacoustic]

Ooops!

Now I'm doing it! The song is called 'Sooner Or Later' not Sooner Than Later.

[laineycrusoe]

Oh yeah, so it is.

[sith67]

Great song, very hard movie to find in DVD, and always great to hear this song again.

[TriBorG1]

I want the 80s Back !

[Replayability]

I'm glad you uploaded it so I could hear it again, but compared to other ELO songs, this sucks doesn't it? This seems like a filler song. Like something you'd throw together really fast because one more song is needed for the new album.

[odserick]

you must be tone deaf. this song is beautiful if not a bit bizzare

[elofanatic67]

Jeff you are the greatest!

[nuttytart70]

Thank you for posting this. I had forgotten all about this song until I stumbled across Electric Dreams being shown late one night a few weeks back and it all came back to me! Definitely the best song from the film.

[marcwolf60]

YAY!!!!

Jeff Lynne Forever!!!!

[aldiakaroofus]

Best track from the 80's and one of the 10 best pop songs of the 20th century, IMO.

[13JG5Assi]

Hey cool, Jeff´s "Video", great song, typical Jeff Lynne
