Absolutely brilliant.... I go ape when I listen to this. My feet go into tap like crazy mode !!!!. I feel like swinging from the trees.!!!!!! Makes me ecstatic.!!!!!! Merci Beaucoup E.L.O. ....you have made my night.!!!!! Cannot find my copy of " The Best Of E.L.O " at present.... looked all over for it. Hope and pray it turns up. If not will have to reorder it...when funds reallow. All my love Angie~K.xxXXxx .
I got this album with it first came out back in the late 70's and loved it but, this tune has always been my favorite from ELO, with Calling America a very close second. It amazes me that so many of the popular tunes from the 70's & 80's still carry over to this generation (or is it because nothing much as developed with HIP-HOP and RAP dominating the industry for so long?) Thank goodness for Lady Ga-ga, Adele, and Katie Perry and their new sound...so refreshing!
@NBK1122 yup. lots :) it was my first video and was worrying about digital so much i forgot about the spelling. Go see another ELO song I did. look up "Boba Fett and the Raiders" doing the ELO song "So Serious"
as soon as the weather breaks and you have the first beautiful evening of the spring, call the oldies station and request this song. if the dj has a soul, he will oblige.
Ahhhh !! teenage summers spent in Northern Ontario, Canada. Simply beautiful and never forgetable. Our wondrous ship still sails in my mind,heart and soul. Thank you,ELO !!!!!!
Just wanted to join the club of people who love this song and appreciate the video
ELO is so suited to fractals, space age, high def video that they just did not have back then to complement the music. anyone tried synching out of the blue with close encounters of the third kind? No? Not that stoned , yet? stay tuned.
Interesting fact about this song: Where it sounds like they're dancing, they're actually dancing. Jeff Lynne, Bev Bevan and Richard Tandy (AKA "Spratley's Dance Academy" in the album sleeve notes) recorded themselves tap-dancing in the studio.
It is amazing to hear this song from my teenage yrs on a sand bar blaring it out on my pick-ups sound system where you put the 6x9 speakers up on top of the truck powered by jensen with 150 per speaker liner power in 1978. We thought we were the jam in those days.
I did this since I was practicing After Effects. Currently I am working on my 2nd feature length film, horror. Thanks for all the kind words. Also no I didnt spel orchestra right :)
You know, when you say something as crude and unhelpful as this you not only hurt the person who's tried to do something, but you embarass everyone else who reads it. You can be critical without being negative you know.
The tale of Viracocha, by John Lynnard. Believe every word. It's all true. Wish everyone knew what I do. But better than all the knowledge in the world is the fact that God knows me for who I really am, and loves me anyway.
what a cool song. HAVE A WEISSEN BIER iwomar66! i was stationed in erlangen in the late seventies. i jammed on this with my headphones many a trime while i was well, lets just say 'in a different frame of mind'.LOL
A funny thing about this double LP. Jeff had a huge case of writer's block and could come up with nothing. Then suddenly 2 weeks before the album dead line he called Bev and said I can't stop writing. The end result of course; Out Of The Blue. Ed
so weird that you said that! just happen to have something for you...
Alpha and Omega
In the vision/revelation of Jesus Christ to John, Jesus said: "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End."'--Revelation 22:13 (NIV), and "...I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To him who is thirsty I will give to drink without cost from the spring of the water of life."--Revelation 21:6 (NIV)
Your statement helped higher my vibrations and connect two sides of me by doing it. The center connection was the Holy Spirit, The first cerebral and it calmed the animal. Ed
This was never a single, it was a b-side though, and yes they never put it on any compilation they tend to stick to hit singles but as any dedicated ELO fan will tell you so many more album tracks by this band are just as good if not better than their singles
Hey man,I have another ELO song for you to find.I will be most grateful,if you can find the video for "kuiama". I seriously doubt if you can find it.What a challenge!!!
im not gonna lie. i've been listening to this song since it was just me in my car seat with my mommy and we would sing along. now; 13 years later; we're sitting in the front seat singing it together. =]]
