Nice to see young fans of ELO / Jeff. I usually only recommend 'Out Of The Blue' and 'Time' albums to new fans. The other day I heard Sharleen Spiteri doing 'Xanadu' on the Graham Norton show and I wondered if many people made the connection... "this sounds like that... sound... that song that's been on lots of adverts and films... Sunny Blue Sky or something...". And then off they go to google and find themselves on a very nice trip through ELO :) Love to fantasise about 'new discovers'.
Jeff Lynne is the only person I know who could utter the words "doowop doo-bi-doo-da-wop, doo-waa doo-lang" when he is lovesick, lonely, and depressed. And I know what chronic depression feels like.
Woah, You know what, A certain band that shall remain nameless definitely stole the chorus from this for 21 guns.... now I hate them more than I did before, But I can see why they would steal it this song is amazing, I love ELO :)
Great song...I used to have a whole list of ELO songs to listen to when my gf broke up with me....Eldorado...Can't Get Her out of My Head..Telephone Line...Evil Woman..and Mr. Blue Sky...you gotta finish up beat!
I remember when I bought this 45 when I was a kid, it came on a see thru green vinly instead of black. I'm sure the folks from my era remember what 45's are huh.
I couldn't remember a single part of this song (haven't heard it in long time) when I caught it on the Billy Madisson movie. Thanks, Adam Sandler, fot the good taste in music.
Wow, it could be the song about a long lostlove, or even the death of a soul-mate The latter is what has do do with me. Loss is so intense. No matter the level..
Talk about stuck in your head. I call it an Ear Worm, usually solved by listening to it and singing it and sharing it. Doesn't work with this one. A permanent Ear Worm....
Dear God... does this bring back memories! Thank you soooo much for the post!
