  • I love how they edited it like a music video!

  • 4 letters P-A-U-L

  • Disney World's Hollywood Studio's entrance is Xanadu. Actually it's based on the old Pan-Pacific Auditorium in L.A. where Xanadu was shot.

  • This is such a GR8 song! :-) I have the Xanadu Soundtrack & Video & I love this song!

    Thanks for Uploading & Sharing this Great Song :-)

  • There will never be another Gene Kelly!!

  • @Gunslnga1 He was 66 when he did this movie, and looked as smooth as ever. I just hope I can be half as fit as he was at that age.

  • Comment removed

  • yeah watched it on netflix and i loved it back in the day and its still cool! and yeah ELO, they did some great stuff...

  • Thx danny k

  • paul brought me here

  • thumbs up if Paul brought you here!!! :D

  • Talk about a bunch of wet mopps. This was a wonderfully fun movie. I loved the songs and the dancing.

  • paul brought me here

  • Creating a musical nowadays on film is difficult. This may have been strange, but "Can't Stop The Music"with the Village People is worse. "Music" was actually directed by an individual who appeared in numerous paper towel commercials

  • This was one case in which the soundtrack was much better than the film itself. That movie was weird.

  • Is that "Swan" from The Warriors?

  • @Hyrinm Yes, it is Swan. :) Both movies were directed by Lawrence Gordon. I don't know if that fact lead Michael Beck to be cast in both or not, but I imagine it must have played some part. Interesting change from The Warriors eh?

  • @alliecamp Sorry, that should have been "produced" by Lawrence Gordon...my bad.

  • @alliecamp Sure it is xD

  • God what a great broadway musical shot on film ! ! ! Too bad Americans are so socially unsophisicated that they cant see this . "Ya baby disco sucks !" It has nothing to do with disco .....Sometimes Im embarrassed to be an American....A great broadway musical shot on film and it got caught up in the disco sucks B.S. Too bad... These same people who say "disco sucks" have probably never been to ANY kind of musical at all . And it aint faggy at all ! You need another excuse...

  • Great song. Wonderfull

  • The end theme to PAUL.....

  • This is the ultimate "shower song" I just played it and I was out of the shower and dried as it ended! EXTREME!

  • eLO. During the 90's sister Sledge brings out We are family again and Boney M sytart singing one more time. ELO nothing to be seen. These guys know fads. and fashions. When ELO reform you'll know true music has returned. :D

  • wow. I never saw Xanadu and that clip was just a little more than I wanted to see. : /

  • I don't give a damn what people think; Xanadu was a good movie. As for this tune, I wish that ELO would post a live performance of this tune on YouTube;It would rock!

  • i love this movie but when i first saw it this part gave me nightmare's :\

  • ONJ= hot as shit. Gene Kelly= the man can dance!

  • Olivia, yep i'd tap that :D

  • Around the world daft punk

  • ILove E.L.O It's amazing. :D x

  • con esta rola me kito el sobrero  senores

  • Great music

  • I wonder if Gene Kelly ever got second thougths after working in that movie.

  • @Nrvous68 Probably not, he looks like he thoroughly enjoyed it. At age 69, his acting days were over and probably jumped at the chance to do something different.

  • man you old fogey's were lucky

  • haha essa musica passava no panico, mtuh legal

  • An outstanding broadway play that went to film just as the "Disco sucks" people starting ranting .. An excellent broadway musical that didnt get the recognition it deserved ...Ignorant Americans and their disco sucks ignorant attitude ...too bad....

  • OMG stunning special efects :))

  • Love this ELO classic & the entire Xanadu music soundtrack. Anything with the legendary Gene Kelly in it, can't be all that bad. I actually had fun watching it!

  • Love this song! The clip is so 80's.

  • These people are having way too much fun.

  • @steeler1979... my first sexual experience was with my ex-girlfriend, unfortunately she wasn't there at the time as well, she was with my best freind -_-

  • Classic 80s montage!

    

  • me encanta esta cancion...he visto la pelicula paul...como 100 veces..me encanta las canciones de elo..en esta pelicula..y tengo nada mas que 11 años...paul..eres la leche tio!!!!!

  • I love this song and the movio Paul

    att. Paul Ponce Moreno

  • Wish i could find The Full Film Version of Xanadu \. that movie was excellent!

  • @mom369222 Check out Blockbuster online. I watched it as streaming video and it was indeed excellent, even though I saw it in the theatre! You might also find a DVD on ebay.

  • @eupogia thumbs down if paul did!!

  • paul!!!!!!!!!!

  • Paul Brought it Here

  • Fantastic .......muy buen hit

    Saludos desde Perú

  • Good thing they made this movie...OLIVIA

    WOW!!!!!

    

  • um classico dos cinemas

  • trippy

  • Thumbs up if Paul didn't send you here

  • I still love this movie 31 years later!!  Totally campy and over the top. If you don't like this movie, you take life too seriously.

  • The graphics / effects used in this movie were later used in Tron 1982. They look the same.

  • En la era de la gonorrea y el pre/SIDA

  • Qué gran temazo y soundtrack de la película musical Xanadu que protagonizaron Olivia Newton John y Gene Kelly. Yo tengo el dvd de este exitoso musical de a principios de los 80 y muy buena.

  • I grew up in this era and took a lot of heat for liking this. The rockers rejected Xanadu because of the ties to "disco" . There really isnt any such thing as "disco" music . Music of a type was used in disco dancing but no such thing as "Disco" music . The music already exsisted and was applied to "Disco dancing". Xanadu is a very well done classic broadway musical filmed for the movies . The rocker crowd simply isnt sophisticated enough to realize this . Lack of vision on their part .

  • "Xanadu" is so insanely awful it's great. Lots of cheesy fun with great soundtrack songs.

  • Cool song. HORRIBLE fucking movie!!

  • the perfect song for new years eve celebrations drinking coke

  • This song brought me here

  • the guy in this was also in The Warriors...he was so hot!

  • THATS THE GUY OUT OF WARRIORS

  • Gene Kelly and ONJ got to be in a broadway musical that happened to be filmed . It was called "Zanadu" . Its a classic broadway musical . Dont confuse it with the Abba musical that was so poorly done . If your a rocker great go to the rocker videos and have fun . Dont come here and rag becauseyou have a self esteem problem .

  • @maddogtannen1966 You mean Xanadu not Zanadu

  • Poor Gene Kelly and ONJ.

  • Now why can't I ever find a store like this in the mall?

  • All kinds of 80's awesomeness AND Gene Kelly!

  • @vhaenni Yeah!!!

  • Yeah!!!

  • My first sexual experience ever was with Olivia Newton John. Too bad she wasn't there!!!

  • @steeler1979 LOL

  • I navagated her because of Jeff Lynne's Talent. Aside from Kelly's GREATNESS, Jeff Lynne is the only reason I saw the Movie or bought the record.

  • ELO sent me here.

  • xanadu is my third favorite movie great story great movie great music

  • I rediscover this song with the movie Paul, but I do remember it in Xanadu when I was young. Great memories!

  • Paul *sent us here.

  • I'm in the movie "Paul"

  • Thumbs up if Xanadu brought you here.

  • Working at Kroger having to hear this song at least 100 times a day legit brought me here.

  • Crazy film!?!

    

  • Paul DID NOT bring me here. This song has been out for over 3 decades idiots!Really sad that it takes a damn movie for people to hear good music.

  • @MrNaturalhigh72

    you might be right, but sometimes you dont know all song of all countries.

    so, Im glad some movies come up with great songs like this, so the rest can listen :)

  • British Bands and Singers are the BEST in the WORLD

  • Paul is awesome

  • Paul send us here.

  • fuckin love ELO

  • I've lived thru the 80's sent me here and it was the best decade 

  • Paul awesome nice movie

    

  • omg i like this song so much!!

  • My dad's always said that this was the best song he'd ever heard.. i can see why.. and that Jeff Lyne was his hero... well, he does look like him :D

  • @hackett1996 I wish I looked like Jeff Lyne..

  • Fuck you guys and your "Paul sent me here"! I work graveyard at Fred Meyer and the store's playlist plays this song like fifty trillion times in an 8 and a half hour shift!

  • @DogofW0r I doesn't matter what sent you here. What matters is that you enjoy the song. It is people like you that prevent younger people who did not live through the time to experience the joy of this song.

  • @DogofW0r Fred Meyer. PNW represent.

  • @DogofW0r fuck you and fuck this video of shit. paul sent me here

  • paul paul paul paul paul paul paul paul paul paul paul paul paul paul paul paul paul paul paul paul paul paul paul paul paul paul paul paul paul paul paul paul paul paul paul paul paul paul paul paul paul paul paul paul paul paul paul paul paul paul paul paul paul paul paul paul paul paul paul paul paul paul paul paul paul paul paul paul paul paul paul paul paul paul paul paul paul paul paul paul paul paul paul paul paul paul paul paul paul paul paul paul paul paul paul paul paul paul paul

  • @Minecraftpluse Ha ha ha ha. sure, Xanadu, but is a great song to any movie, but this is A SONG FROM XANADU

  • @mathhhias42 But which one?

  • @OurGangFan dont know dude, paul

  • @DogofW0r Paul motherfucker

  • @DogofW0r Chill out dude ... OK, a lot of people got to know this song by watching Paul, that's a fact but I can also understand in your case it bleeds out of your ears ... there's something for everyone and not everybody loves the same things for the same reasons ... so, what are you up with :-)

  • @DogofW0r haha, i work freight at freds too. I really prefer this song to hearing umbrella-ella-ella 20 times in a row

  • Comment removed

  • @DogofW0r ouch !!! Hey but do you know the words yet ? :-)

  • @DogofW0r Hey, imagine working at Disneyland in the "its a small small world enclosure" & that song playing all day after day long ! Drive you insane. LOL

  • @ozcars1 I had that happen, except I was a kid with my folks and we got stuck in the "Pirates of the Caribbean" for about 30 minutes right at the "yo ho yo ho, it's a pirate's life for me." I'm still insane from that...LOL.

  • I've heard this song in paul movie.. ELO is one of the best groups. all over the world everybody got the word.

  • i do remember this song cause i had the xanadu album........ good song

  • love the song but feel sad that this was one of last movie's gene kelly had to perform in. Even when I saw this back in 1980 (or thereabouts), it was painful to watch.

  • Don't much care if Paul send me or brung me wif him, the music is great..........

  • thumbs up for the two top-rated comments being riddled with grammatical errors!

  • Comment removed

  • ).

  • Too bad some people can't enjoy a classic fantasy musical as Xanadu without seeing it as gay. A very stereotypical view some people have of our world with hatred instead of just simply enjoying life and people of all walks of life..

  • @LeslieCTS Well said, yes I quite agree.

  • Swan is the video!!!

  • WHO T F IS PAUL?

  • @Yahweigh He's from outer space!

  • @Yahweigh Its a movie

  • PAUL is THE BEST movie EVER in this HOLE world!!! This song's been in my head 4 a whole week!! Can't take it out of my headd!! It's awesomeeee!!! AS SAME AS PAULLL!!! OMG!!! They're both awesomeeee!! Don't ya agree?

  • WHY HAVE I NEVER SEEN THIS DELIGHTFUL JUICINESS BEFORE? This is the gayest thing I've ever seen. Not a slight against homosexuals, because I'm *pretty* sure I mean it as a synonym for happy. I'm not completely positive what I mean tho, because after seeing this I feel like I just dropped acid.

  • quem ta aki por causa do panico da joinha

  • PAUL!!!

  • i reme3mber seeing this on video when i was a kid and thinking this is nuts

  • Why no more music like this? Because art is the reflection of life. Society had structure and restraint in those days. Nothing was a given. Artists had to prove they had something to even get a chance to get in the door. Now it's all vulgar self-indulgence and corporate factories churning out social pollution masquerading as art. Its because we as an indulgent society deserve what we get.

  • Gene Kelly is the old guy.

  • Who's the actor that plays the old man??

  • How about uploading the whole movie??? someone???? anyone????

  • their best song, but boy what a shite video

  • Quarky, but it works like magic.

  • This makes me sad that the world has been taken over by rap and other bull shit... From the 1950s to the 1970s music had more strong and fun aspects to it. Call me a sentimental asshole but music then was less than a series of sounds, if was a way of expression. Someone could vent their opinions and views on the world through music without backlash from another communuty. The music now is stale. You are lucky to find music that is not about drugs and killing people at this point.

  • @inklasso Yeah, music today is the worst ever, no soul, no creativity and plastic.These new groups couldn't write a song with melody if their lives depended on it.

  • great sound funny movy haha mythras90x

  • I don't know who Paul is..lol

  • @P2000Camaro Paul is a 2011 sci-fi comedy movie you should give that movie a try becuz if u dont laugh at it u hav no sense of humor

    

  • Fucking GREAT

  • OK. How could there ever be a better combo? A Gibb brother and Jeff Lynne!!! (AND PRODOCED BY ROBERT STIGWOOD, BY THE WAY!!!) I'm in HOG HEAVEN!!!!

  • @catgirl6717 ...Let's not forget Olivia Newton John and Tap dancing LEGENED Gene Kelly my friend

  • outstanding video

  • great song i just receive the 10inch single blue disc in uk issue from ebay

    & xanadu is one of my favorite pride to have on dvd RIP GENE KELLY & shame for the xanadu palace "pan pacific auditorium" destroyed in 1989 in criminal fire

    olivia newton john is incredible handsome in this movie for this time she could have been my kind of woman

  • I think my mom realized I was gay when I begged her to take me to this movie when I was 11-years-old lol

  • @jeffeastwood15 lol, i'm not gay, but i do love this movie, takes me back to the good ole days of the 80's!

  • EPIC

  • AMAURY DUMBOO!!

  • This song is AWESOME, thank you Paul ( you extra terrestrial bastard) : )

    I never liked Xanadu.

  • @b0wl0fmi1k Who the heck is Paul? O_o

  • @MabiGal93 He is an alien and the movie is really good.

  • @MabiGal93 It's a Simon Pegg and Nick Frost movie directed by Greg Mottola.

  • I know it's cheezy but I looveeddd Xanadu

  • When they rolled the blonde lady in @ 2:30, she gave you late seventies glamour for your NERVES. That hair was DONE. LOL

  • ELO MARCOU MINHA JUVENTUDE E AINDA ME FAZ SONHAR É O ELO DA MINHA VIDA,NOTA 1000...

  • i soo wish i had those clothes!

  • Thumbs up if you were tapping your feet to this

  • I might be wrong but I think one the ladies in the video was a former Solid Gold dancer.

  • Quintessential 80's!!
