  • Eldorado is a masterpiece.

    

  • Totally agree with underrated en most lead credited. Nice voice, lovely song. The rest of their songs are strong too.

  • Phenomenal!

  • This song. First time in Canada aged 16. Road trip through Banff and Lake Louise in an old Civic with my cousin. Sleeping in the car at night. Still got all the pictures.

  • I always think of ELO as carrying on the Beatles legacy. Cant you see Lennon singing Lynne's vocals?

  • @fatdice911 OMG you took the words out of my mouth....just last week I was saying the same thing on my facebook

  • Here Kitty, kitty, kitty... I think someone wants you back. This would be a good time to ask for that new scratching post. "-)

  • I always imagine a large older wooden ship at sea at night by moonlight with a fantasically beautiful mermaid appearing at the part of "I saw the ocean's daughter"

  • Awesome '70s group.One of the best of the decade and most unique.Can't Get It Out of My Head burst onto the US charts in 1974 and they had hit after hit followingI was 13 when this was on the charts

  • I grew up with this music, then heard it again on Dr. Who...love it all over again.

  • Jeff's gift to his dad!

  • Good music never leave us

  • ELO smooth as Jello

  • KITTY...I'LL NEVER GET U OUT OF MY HEAD..IF I DO, I SHOULD DIE...THATS WHAT U DID TO AND FOR ME...SO WHAT DO I DO NOW/?????SAY BYE TO YOUR NEW GUY AND GIVE ME ANOTHER CHANCE ONE NIGHT..I'LL WIN U OVER AND STEAL U..I LOVE U...I'LL ALWAYS THANK U FOR WHAT U DID TO ME..THAT WAS THE NIGHT THAT CHANFED MY LIFE AND I THOUGHT WHEN I MET MY X, IT WAS THE SAME..NO WAY...U DID MORE TO ME..AND KILLED ME AND MAYBE I SHOULD JUST GIVE UP AND DIE.happy new year kitty..I CANT GET U OUT OF MY HEAD, EVER.....

  • great music

  • The name of the song is...."Can't Get it Out of My Head", Not "I".

  • ELO Great Group, Great Music

  • Jeff Lynne does have eyes!

  • Jeff Lynne does have eyes!

  • I'm sorry for my generation's dreadful dreadful and horrific music...... it's crap and the 60's, 70's and 80's had the best music.

  • What a shame they dont write Music like that any more

    .

  • @Merlin851526 Well they would, if people would buy it. And that other shit would go away.

  • Jeff Lynne vs. Brian May for best 'fro. Go.

  • @sggitcm Brian May's realllly isnt a fro...it's way too over the place...I mean it's bigger but in terms of the superior afro, definitely Jeff Lynne. The man is the picture-esque 70's dude.

  • ELO RULES , no other band could make you feel so good when you would listen to them it's kinda sad the kids now a days are fed all this hate crap :(

  • I saw ELO live back in the late 70's in San Francisco. What a show they put on, they were fantastic!

  • Takes me back to highschool days, when we still had a pool of talented artists entertaining us.

  • i cant get mi mio amore out of my head

  • 1337 likes, fitting for such a great group and song

  • DAMN..NO FUCK..HOW DO I GET KITTY OUT OF MY MIND...I DONT KNOW TO DO THAT..ITS HARDER THAN LOSING MY X WIFE..I MUST BE FUCKING NUTS, AFTER ONE NIGHT, A GAL CAN DO TO THAT TO ME..DAMN..DAMN...DAMN..DAMN...­DAMN..DAMN..NO , FUCK.....

    GOOD LUCK KITTY AND WISH ME THE SAME..THATS ALL I ASK FOR ..I LOVE U AND ALWAYS WILL REMEMBER WHAT U DID TO ME IN ONE SPECIAL, MORE THAN SPECIAL NIGHT..THANX HONEY..X0X0X0.pete

  • This is fabulous, one of ELO's special pieces of beautiful music. This is absolutely superb.The lyrics are great the voice is melodic, deep, rich, robust.hauntingly beautiful and highly professional. The music is as always extremely rich in quality.... fantastic. This was one of my favourites then and still is now...it's a masterpiece.

  • actually cant get her out of my head..damn...kitty...its tough getting over u.but i have no other choice..x0..thanx for the kick in the ass that ive needed for 10 yrs..i really appreciate that..x0x0x0....pete

  • 5 dislikes/haters take their brains out and play with them for fun.

  • Comment removed

  • He sounds like John Lennon

  • @JoannaSmo he does sound "Beatles-ish" but no much as to be considered a Beatles wanna-be. His tone is like John Lennon but his phrasing is more like bob dylan. I liked this song from the first time I heard it

  • Not a talent show judge, rapper, someone shouting 'yo', or featurin' Dustbin G and rizzla dizzla in sight. Just music by talented musicians

  • A perfect marriage of rock, classical music and pop. ELO are dreams. Don't worry we have the talentless taylor swift and hip-hop studio gangsters to fill their void. If not for Adele I wouldn't get a good night's rest...

  • jeff lynne is probably one of the most incredible musicians ever and also one of the most least credited. an amazing man he is.

  • @gibbie31

    again, HELL yes! :)

  • ELO underrated???GMAB!!!By 1978,ELO & KISS were the 2 most elaborate & successful stage shows of all time....

  • No red in the like/dislike bar......just how i like it.

  • Is ELO one of the most underrated bands of all time?

  • @flyingmerkel6 Yes :(

  • @flyingmerkel6 along with the zombies, and big star

  • @flyingmerkel6

    JUST A FANTASTIC BAND

  • @flyingmerkel6 I think they are.... and not a related band... but another underrated band that wrote great pop rock songs.... was .38 Special

  • @flyingmerkel6 Im not sure they were underrated. They sold a helluva lot of records.

  • @chanctonbury63 Good point. Critics tend to dismiss ELO as sugar coated pop for mass consumption. All my original ELO vinyl was stolen by an ex-GF. She always told me that ELO was crap, yet she took the records. Go figure.

  • @flyingmerkel6

    HELL yes!  :)

  • @flyingmerkel6 Yes!  Many were because of the focus on the Beatles.

  • Anyone remember "Wet Willie"? My first concert, Wet Willie opening for ELO! I still love ELO, and have brought my kids up listening to real music! Thank you Lord for ELO!

  • ELO FOR GLASTONEBURY 2012!!!

  • ELO...Can't get 'em Out Of My Head.....One of my all time favorite concerts in '76 was ELO!

  • Bring back the Orchestra!

  • simply pure talent all ELO's music is great wish they were still releasing new albums

  • @Thehigherjudgement no entiendo lo que decis pero a mi tambien me gustan los ecucho desde los 20 años

  • jeff lyne ,lennon and mcartney , weller , best of british ......

  • It's my first love Marlena

  • What a GREAT ALBUM One of the best of the 1970's ..... A Great and rare kinda tune and music

  • Masterpiece of music! And they are not in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame!!!

  • First class music, the arrangment and the execution perfect. But thats a review without feeling. But true. ELO? Wonderfull, Beautifull, Inspiring, what is around today that can come even a little close? 

  • I hope this is what Heaven sounds like

  • jeff lyne is one of the greatest asong writers ever!!

  • Wonder where they have the chorus hidden though.

  • I grew up listening to ELO on 8 track. My dad would dance around the dining room with me standing on top of his feet when I was around 5-6 years old. I still love ELO to this day, brings back great memories.

  • DrifTing InTo the StRange MaGic of This music ,Walking on a waVe , E.L.O. CaMe and Now I cant Get It Out of my Head...BEAUTIFUL Genius Electric Light Orchestra!...Thank YOU

  • @addict4musikk damn bro lay off the shift key

  • Comment removed

  • It was the first ELO song that I heard on the AM radio. It was 1975. I was 9 years old. It sounded breathtaking. Dear execs of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame: Please consider ELO for the 2013 ballot of induction since the 2012 ballots are already released (ELO is not on the 2012).

    Thanks.

  • jeff sounds so good on this tune i love the doubler,he almst sounds like john l.

    so cool.

  • Another timeless treasure:)

  • Sweet!

  • a girl could get lost in them!! Peace.

  • @sweetgypsy100

    That would have been something, lookin' into them and drift away...

  • @16wani Oh yeah.....falling....spinning..­...!!

  • @sweetgypsy100

    getting dizzy and rattled all over :-)

  • @16wani-- me too!...wonderful isn't it?!

  • @sweetgypsy100

    Simply amazing ;-)

  • Brings back some good times. Great song/music. ELO THANK YOU.

  • Wow!  Rare! Jeff without the specs!

  • @tommyrock69  Blue blues aren't they?!!

  • @sweetgypsy100

    They are blue, allright, and so very beautiful :-)

  • One of the best vids on You Tube... one of the best bands to ever walk the face of the earth...period.

  • Thank you so much for sharing this.. :)

  • We really need this music back!!! it's a shame there are no musicians like we had in the 70's today , This is TALENT!!!!!

  • @mikecantu52 AMENNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN­NN :} bravo

  • @mikecantu52

    There are a lot of exellent musicians out there today, as well, you just have to look out for them..

  • @16wani you have to understand in the seventies we did not have to look for none they were a bunch of good bands all around us.

  • @mikecantu52

    I grew up and was a teenager in the 70s/80s and back then, there were good music and crap music, same as it is today :-)

  • @mikecantu52 try arcade fire

  • @mikecantu52 yep.. we got rap, hip hop...trash

  • This is about ELO the masters of music - not justin fuckin bieber

  • 4 dislikes are JUSTIN BIEBER FANS

    

  • Someone can hear Lynn's guitar on this song?

  • Punk-ass kids don't know Jack Shit about music; ELO now and forever represent.

  • JEFF L. A BEATLES BUDDY...AND A TRUE R&R ER

  • Is that Jeff lynn?!!!

  • @vanhalan1

    Yes, that's Jeff Lynne :-)

  • I can't get this song out of my head !

  • Still greatest band EVER!!!

  • Love ELO :)

  • so cool. just a camera, a garage and a band. so simple and so cool.

  • 4 dislikes are dumn kids.....

  • Never will there be one to replace.

  • Look kids...real musicians!

  • @HeavenlyHouse I gotta' say; I love this post! It says it all.

  • @HeavenlyHouse, well said!

  • @HeavenlyHouse best comment :)

  • They were the first concert I went to...somehow they became a forgotten joke...but the songs of THIS era are genious.

  • The most beautiful eyes in the world, i don't know why he hides them...

  • now u made me cry :)

  • musicmann059 Remember this, true love is unconditional. True love says I will forgive when you can't, I give when you don't and I will be there when your not. True love last forever and it one takes one.

  • I am so relating to this song right now. There is a person I met and worst of all we work together that I'm having a hard time forgetting. Feelings grew and now feelings have been hurt. Hopefully in time we can forgive each other and become friends.

  • Check out "Fire on High"

  • I remember this song, I was 25 and though I had the world by the horns. Now looking back I relized I didn't now my butt from a hole in the ground. Still a great song and I still get those old feelings. What a time it was.

  • @luvyellowroses1

    I did not find the petition on Elonuts channel, but I signed another one at petition.com,

    so let's hope that signing does work :-)

    His music and exellent talent won't be forgotten buy us and many more fans.

    Actually I just rediscovered ELO, Jeff and the Wilburys, and that is so much fun, fun, fun.

  • @luvyellowroses1

    I totally agree with you, he's so very much underrated as a songwriter. And I wonder what kind of agenda this Jann Wenner dude has? Is there a point that you should be famous and overexposed to be inducted in RRHF?

  • @luvyellowroses1

    Well, they did a version of roll over Beethoven, right ? ;) And, he is really a great composer, and an inspiring poet as well.

  • @luvyellowroses1

    So very tasty and sweet, yes :-)

  • @luvyellowroses1

    He's soo cute, and those eyes, wuhu !

  • Wanna run my fingers through Jeff's curly, fluffy hair...

  • can't get mh out of my head

  • Miss ......Eileen Matis & Maureen Blyler....RIP

  • i LOVE THIS KIND OF MUSIC THE BEST OF THE BEST

  • 4 people were looking for Kylie Minogue.

  • This song brings back so many great memories, it is incredible! What would we have done without YOUTUBE? Really!!!

  • sounds like a beatles song......love the drummers hair :D

  • @misslantana52 I wish i have hair like Jeff Lynne(vocal guitar).

  • I grew up with ELO I`ve been listening to them since I was 6 years old, I can`t get enough.

  • One of the best bands ever!

  • Blue Show.

  • OMG!!!!!  What happened to Jeff's glasses???? Call the cops!!!1

  • @inkedVendetta I really miss my granddaughter, killed in an auto accident. The light of my life. She would emerge from the sea at the coast, like the ocean's daughter. And I can't get it out of my head....

  • Hi sorry about your grandaughter...I couldnt handle that...

  • Hi sorry about your grandaughter...I couldnt handle that...

  • @fireman20ctfd Thank you, darlin'. We all think that we couldn't handle that, until we have to handle that. I'm not religious in any sense of the word, but she lives in my memories if nowhere else....

  • Consider mixing these 3 songs:

    I am the warlus

    Seeds of love and

    Cant get it out of my head

    Thanks!

  • haven t heard this since i was a kid. when i was very little i thought it was the beatles with ringo singing it

  • @ScandinavianDawn Actually, it's been said many times that these cats sound a lot like the Beatles. Of course Jeff Lynn and George Harrison were the best of friends for a very, very long time. If anyone deserves the right to be told they sound like the Beatles it's these guys and not those terrible brothers from Oasis...

  • I can't this song out of my head.

  • Never understood why Jeff started wearing sunglasses all the time. He's not a bad looking guy without them.

  • the first time i heard ELO i was listening to there greatest hits trippin on shrooms :) some of the greatest days ever

  • ELO rules

  • Lost my brother seven years ago and he loved this music for a long time I could not listen to it cause it brings me tears but today I had to cause I can't get it out of my head. Miss my baby brother I gave him the greatest hits album he loved it thanks for the years of great music. and the Memories that music brings to your soul

  • @77sunsetable Wow!  I think you just wrote the sweetest most heartfelt words I've ever read on here! Thank you for your story. It was beautiful. God bless you and your family.:)

  • @77sunsetable So sorry for the loss of your brother. What is it about this song that makes it so personal for those of us who have lost somebody we love? Hurts to hear, but hear we must. Much love to you....

  • @cqsallie So true but hear we must

  • @1Lesman I actually like the full version, with the Eldorado intro (which is briefly hinted at in this version). It's longer and gives you more time to contemplate and wonder why you keep listening when it brings as much pain as pleasure. I've come to think that it's a milder version of sado-masochism. Hear we must. Loved your comment....

  • @77sunsetable without doubt this is a beautiful and classic song that takes me back to when I was a sad lonely 14 year old kid. Now 30 odd years later I am singing this with my band. Sorry for your loss my friend.

  • @77sunsetable

    Sorry about your brother. I have a son aparted of me around 3 or 4 years.

    But he lives, I cry for him. It's different by you.

    You know and believe that your brother are well, better then us.

    I don't know when or how my child lives, much more if think of me.

    This song says everything.

    Love for you and your angel brother.

  • @77sunsetable Thanks for your post. My big bro died of leukemia in 1975 when I was 12. I had a similar experience with songs he loved. It took perhaps 15 years before I could listen to them without being so sad I couldn't stand it. "Goodbye, Yellow Brick Road" and "Oh, Babe, What Would You Say?" were a couple of 'em. I'm sorry for your loss.

  • @77sunsetable God Bless you for sharing your best with your bro. I am sure he appreciated it and loved you as much. I wish my brother would share this with me. You can't have asked for better music to relate to emotions with.

  • @77sunsetable i know ..really I lost my older Brother who introduced me to music of all kinds including jeff Lynn

  • I LOVE THIS SONG!.....want to know some gossip about ELO that they dare not print in the magazines....go to "eleanor rigby nzoz1971" and read my 3 comments. regards.

  • I love ELO...is that OK?

  • Jeff Lynne has a shitload of hair. haha

  • I have been searching for this video for some time. So cool, thanks for the post. Great band, great song.

  • If a band can't fit this song on their greatest hits, then you know they're class.

  • @PabloBrown7 This was on their 1979 greatest hits album.

  • @tryithere Sorry, I didn't know they had a greatest hits back in 79,I was going by the most resent one I bought my dad. This music is b4 my time,but I still love it.

  • @luvyellowroses1 I called that JLsuckscock guy out a couple of times on the filthy stuff he had been saying on here about Lynne. He sent me a message on my account admitting that he knows that nothing he was saying was true, that he just thinks it's fun to say nasty things about Jeff Lynne and make the fans angry. In other words, he admitted to being a troll. He also said that he and the other guy on here who says the same kind of things are good friends and that they had planned to do all that.

  • Thanks for the music! Great song!

  • Such a underrated song.... probably my ELO favorite.

  • It´s been such a long time since I´ve heard this sweet song...I almost forget it...ELO had been, is, and WILL BE the most EXQUISIT BAND THAT EVER EXISTED!

    !

  • @af021906 amen

  • @af021906 AMEN

  • ELO,The Charlatans,Chocolate,UB40 and Ocean Colour Scene are the only good things to come out of Birmingham, which isn't a lot considering how big an area it is.

  • Superb melody, genius phrasing; what a great song and I agree with cuffed jeans he would've been a great Beatle;you can tell he is a huge fan by his style and writing.

  • Por que no hay comentarios en castellano? la música de la E.L.O traspasó todos los idiomas y generaciones, vamos chicos y chicas sub-50, lo bueno no tiene edad.

  • @HESM241261 Tienes razón, yo tengo 16 años y la ELO es mi grupo favorito =)

  • @HESM241261 No te enojes... soy arg. , me gusta escribir en inglés para practicarlo, y tal vez porque me sienta más cerca de esta excelencia... No va a existir jamás algo tan grande como ELO, creo que ni siquiera siento tanto a RACHMANINOFF (Preludio en do sostenido menor)....QUE NO ES POCA COSA NO? Ah, te aclaro que entré en los sixties...

  • @af021906 Que bueno ,te felicito primero por el excelente gusto que tenés y seguundo me recordás a mis 16 años, es la edad que tenía cuando escuché por primera vez una banda de sonido de una serie americana llamada "Raíces", un abrazo amigo y hasta la próxima.

  • i'm tired of this crap. ELO should be in the rock and roll hall of fame. Jeff Lynne is one of the best song writers of all time, it's bullshit

  • Amazing song!! Love this group
