[spiestot]

This is an amazing song!!!!!

[AdonisDevereux]

If there's ever been a time to air-drum, it's now! "BANG BANG It's a living thing!"

[roof7opman]

This song oozes happiness 

[americanfellow]

sound in this download is higher quality than other yt downloads of this song

[successndays]

Your on top of things... As far as favors are concerned. No one asked for a favor... See a favor is always request... Hints why he is calling a random phone number...The favor was putting down the phone, getting another call back from the telemarketer stating that he is frustrated...... I THINK YOU GOT YOUR POINT ACROSS. I LOVE IT... Time Is Money...

[Burgerflipp]

Boogie nights...closing credits

[Au323]

like this if you came here from an NHL video or having good taste in music

[WhiteEmerald1991]

honestly people should make music i like this today. I saw America's Got Talent and saw the live performance with Nikki Minaj with Flo Rider and omg, i didn't like their song at all. "Where the girl's at" i think was their song. Stop talking about girls. If you like it, i respect your taste in music. I like these type of music.

[WhiteEmerald1991]

Are they talking about love

[dedballoonz]

Who is singing in the verses? Is it Lynne? Whoever it is, fuck they could do a wicked George Harrison impersonation if they tried. I love this song for how Harrison there verses sound.

[iluvcheesecakechic]

I HEARD THIS SONG BUT DIDNT KNOW THE NAME. :D I LOVE THIS SONG.

[iluvcheesecakechic]

I FINALLY FOUND OUT THE NAME OF THIS SONG.

[lcprodenergy]

reminds me good times;thanks to ELO

[MrDacioss]

is george harrisson singing?

[DavieSky1]

I bought this album after hearing it from John Edgar in 1977?. Well done John still enjoy it.

John is Mr Blue Sky (roofer) hope all the family is well.

thanks Davie

[clock213]

Boogie Nights!

[dw7978]

My Name is Earl brought me here

[PollyDunsmore]

the builders outside my house are currently singing this very out of tune. kill me...

[kmvick530]

this damn song was in my head for a week it felt like thanks for having it up :-)

[Jakeznk]

WWF and Shazam brought me here

[anoukvanluijk]

@Jakeznk me too :P

[irobot2009able]

they were great ! rock & classic music then metallical tried it nice! but they elo were the pioneers the best

[shelly10538]

Had this 45 since around January 1977, although it was officially purchased by my older brother. I still play it occasionally but because all of the static and pops it sounds like Livin' Thing accompanied by the sizzling sounds of eggs and bacon frying. We always call it "Breakfast with ELO".

[CadenceL33]

And yyyyooouuUUUUuuuu and your sweet desIIIIiiiIIIrree...You took Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...OHHHH..H­IGHER AND HIGHER, BAYBAYYYY!!! <3

[FoxySims]

@wolfskill7 I like this ;) Considering there is no "official" video it shouldn't matter and officiality shouldn't matter either because IF YOU WANT TO SEE THE OFFICIAL WATCH IT, DONT TROLL other peoples videos! So just think that when people troll. ;) I personally LOVED this. Great Quality.

[wolfskill7]

@FoxySims Thank you.

[lukasthewonderful]

Hey lukasthewonderful-- isn't it great to have so many different ideas? I like yours too.

[martyn580]

this is one of my ''feel good' songs

[lukasthewonderful]

Somebody asked what it was about. I think its about losing a love but finding yourself by giving up drugs. The regret is that to save yourself you have to give up that person who wants to destroy themself. Heavy.

[CadenceL33]

@lukasthewonderful I'm fairly sure this song is about him falling in love with a woman he doesnt want to walk out on him LOL. It's pretty much about love and sex yo. not drugs. By saying, "its a living thing, it's a terrible thing to lose" he means love. Its a human emotion we all need to feel wanted on this earth. And when he says, "you and your sweet desire you took me higher and higher" he is referring to sex. lol.

[chefshitpiece]

@CadenceL33 Yeah, but I think that the mark of a really meaningful song is that it can mean so many different things to so many different people. I think that the reference to letting things go or it turns into a bad dream is about NON-ATTACHMENT, but...being a Jedi Knight, it's probably only natural that I would see it from that point of view. S'cuse me...Sith alert!!

[CadenceL33]

@chefshitpiece when he says its a bad dream I think hes talking about how he doesnt want to let go but he has to. It's a pain that he doesnt want to face. BUT...like you said. could mean anything. Haha. And you better get to that sith alert, sir.

[chefshitpiece]

@CadenceL33 Well I recently got my lightsaber license revoked for balling out Yoda. In Episode One he told little Anikin Hitler that Fear==> Anger --> Hate --> The Dark Side. Later, I corrected his model by pointing out that it is our attachments that lead to fear...the fear of their loss. In essence, I filled in the gaps he left. Now I work in the Jedi caferteria serving mashed potatoes and mopping the floor, sadly. My old master now calls me "Darth Bitch-Burger".

[TheRealNecy]

wow people have a lot of rage just looking to fight

PEACE

[utubesux691]

MARKY MARKS COCK IS EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[wolfskill7]

@utubesux691 hahahaha

[CadenceL33]

@utubesux691 the fuck??

[4ipodmusic]

@utubesux691 wtf??

[Obelisk2290]

boogie nights

[chefshitpiece]

I remember we played this song at my cousin Beppo's funeral. Poor Beppo! He tried to swallow a bowling ball bcuz he had this dream where he swallowed a bowling ball and grew the biggest set o' nuts in the world. He fit the whole fucking thing in his mouth, that was the easy part, but he slipped on a pack of Twinkies and the weight of the bowling ball tipped him over and he fell down the stairs. Sadly, deaths like this are becoming more common. Why...why Beppo...WHY!?!?

[ShadowXSegaXx]

@chefshitpiece lmao

[paulmcc11]

@chefshitpiece hahahha it sounds just like george

[cooomber]

Great song, one of the best for sure!

[GoFlyDude]

I'ts even more magic in a Dutch WNF commercial!

[bcolderr]

this video looks like its lagging

[kaylasdaddy55]

Ahhh....FINALLY found the name to the song, was able to DL the mp3.  Been meaning to for years - will hear it in the car or something and forget to look it up when I get home. Awesome song!

[TheHighhimself]

@wolfskill don't apologize? u give em this song and they complain and u apologize? IT'S A GIVEN THING!

[coolmatterstome]

I remember this from my childhood, spooky mysterious melody, anyone know the meaning of the lyrics? is it about drugs? I can't figure it out.

[CheyCheyIsHere113096]

So, I may be young, but I have a dad who listens to this music all the time, and I love it! It just sounds so original... Makes me happy(=

[Yarghjoe]

Same as Friday if you listen

[cormacomam]

you are a big shining star...

[PinkPoopyPoo]

i like this song so much ELO ROCKSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[alicelawson]

The visuals is so appropriate to the title of the track. It's a LIVING THING! Love it. Thanks for posting.:))

[haarukkamestari]

Thumbs up if Boogie Nights brought you here!

[Tiann2011]

love this song

[OutridersGhost]

Does anyone else long for the 70's when music was diverse and there seemed to be something for everybody? When most musicians sounded completely different because they had their own sound? When you would study the album cover while listening to the record? When people liked by how it sounded instead of being told what is good by the labels? Life before rap arrived like a nasty, room clearing fart? In essence, right before it all went to shit?

[fntime]

@OutridersGhost You are right, but it was in the 70's when music segemented.

The problem, music is now 'created' by accountants, PR people and old

'has beens', who refuse to leave the stage, ie Rolling Stones, Bon Jovi, etc.

Big record companies in partnership with Big Radio groups. These people

are 'bankers' at heart. They get 'hard' listening to songs like '99 Bottles

of Beer on the Wall".

[TerrinTankira]

@fntime I get what you're 'saying', but you need to 'stop' putting unnecessary 'words' into 'quotations'.

[TheMulderig]

@TerrinTankira hahaha:) i swear that made my day.

[4677noel]

awesome jam

[qtkitty4u]

i love this!!!

[UndyingFury]

I'm a big, bright, shining star.

[madeinamsterdam2028]

[1xxxxxREDxxxxx1]

[KayKayKOZ]

love this song

[Avatar230594]

its a good song cos its pure

[NowBearMyArcticBlast]

heard this song with my dad today and i would rather listen to this than some of the crap on MTV, like Justin Bieber.

[RockSalami]

@NowBearMyArcticBlast , way to go, we're trying to get Justin Bieber mentioned on every video on YouTube. We've got a few hundred thousand more to go, but we'll never catch up, it's continuous, though we've already mentioned him on tens of millions of Youtube videos.

[NowBearMyArcticBlast]

@RockSalami

Don't make me kill you!

[woody123986]

@NowBearMyArcticBlast hhaha wtf

[devonp92]

@RockSalami well how is this? Justin Beibers music, is just completly horrible. If i could take songs into physical form, i would wipe my shitty ass with them, but i wouldnt flush them down the toilet, for fear of them ruining my toilet in the same way he has ruined the following generation. The only propre way to dispose of them is to shoot them into space, but not towards our sun, because i would try not to defile our sun in such ways.

[Neville6000]

@devonp92: According to YOU, and ONLY, YOU. There are many teens who don't listen to Justin Bieber, so stop lumping them in with the ones that do. If you want to hate, hate the HYPE about him, NOT the boy himself.

[devonp92]

@RockSalami well how is this? Justin Beibers music, is just completly horrible. If i could take songs into physical form, i would wipe my shitty ass with them, but i wouldnt flush them down the toilet, for fear of them ruining my toilet in the same way he has ruined the following generation. The only propre way to dispose of them is to shoot them into space, but not towards our sun, because i would try not to defile our sun in such ways. haha, i win.

[davseeder]

@devonp92 good sir, he's trolling

hes prolly one of those ppl who are sick n tired of seeing these stupid justin bieber debates

i'd know cuz i sure am (but i still love trollin ppl on the i<3 justin bieber side)

[Ivartshiva]

It's klezmer! Oi! awesome

[SlothSquadron]

About the third time I've listened to this today.

[1000ce]

0:00 - 0:15 <3

[TheSlimySeconds]

Boogie Nights<3

[MrOpera67]

This is One of my favorites, I heard it on the radio and thought it was great. The Electric Light Orchestra is One of the most original bands, I think.

[meowzer13]

Oh, why can't they play awesome music like this at school dances? *requesting*

[Neville6000]

@meowzer13: A few reasons why:

1.This is a DANCE, not a rock concert

2.People don't care that much about ELO

3.Uptight white people need to get off asses and dance.

4.To repeat: This is a DANCE, NOT a rock concert.

5. See reasons 1 and 2.

[wolfskill7]

@jaredmowens Neither do the album cover pictures or blank screens. Do you complain about those?

[joseph85delaney]

@wolfskill7

I do

[wolfskill7]

@jaredmowens Not a troll(how is that even being a troll?), I've just had a lot of people giving me crap for uploading stuff like this. I got a little irritated, so I apologize for being an ass.

[curry2455]

@jaredmowens sure you know what a troll is?

[GilbertSmith]

@jaredmowens You do realize you're talking to the guy who uploaded the video, right? So calling him a troll is kind of retarded.

[JuanLorenZerimar]

@wolfskill7 Your video is perfect for this song...the song is about sliding down a wormhole...

[spxmet]

@wolfskill7 In some cases, those have the best sound quality (sometimes better than the official videos).

[leemspoor]

i see moving pictures and that is i think video

(sorry for the crapy english im from the netherlands)

[freznar1]

@jaredmowens wuta bunch of fat homos

[Nightavenger2]

Thank's for posting this song. I hear it on the radio a lot. It is excellent a masterpiece.

[silicon212]

This song reminds me of 3rd grade at Arrowhead Elementary in north Phoenix back in the day ..

[quietstormstorm]

alejandro, alejandro, ale alejandro, ale alejandro. lol.

[RosySuperBeatleFan]

This song makes me wanna dance xD

Thanks for uploading it! n_n

[margheritazevecke]

@RosySuperBeatleFan I absolutely agree with you

[TONYLOVESU]

This song is awesome, with a fantastic melody. Music from the past was so much better than the shit they have out today. The 70's, 60's, damn even the 40's had better music than the shit that's out today.

[margheritazevecke]

@TONYLOVESU I am absolutely agree with you.

[alejandroc19]

Am I the only one touched by this song? what beauty. (the song) haha

[chefshitpiece]

@alejandroc19 THis song really touched me too. I was probably too young to know what rock n roll was, or what life was all about, or much of anything...but my MOm was probably strolling me around the mall while this song was playing on the speakers. I still remember it, though. This song has always been with me.

[Rhysf100]

@alejandroc19 Yes ha

[itsHeadsUpDisplay]

i cant believe people actually thing this guy is a good editor for making this video which he didnt because this is just itunes

[wolfskill7]

@itsHeadsUpDisplay Yay! My first hate comment. And I've thought the same thing myself.

[bigfootskitty]

@itsHeadsUpDisplay It's Like A Milli Vanilli Video! Wow, Retro. I bet the kids don't miss that part of music history.

[wolfskill7]

@bigfootskitty hahaha. They have Ashley Simpson on SNL.

[itsHeadsUpDisplay]

@bigfootskitty im a kid

[wolfskill7]

@nicklas12345667 Thank you kindly.

[nicklas12345667]

@wolfskill7 Can't stop listening to it. LOVE IT!!! :D

[MoosicandCritters]

Wow, I can't believe the arguing on these posts aboout what the lyrics mean. Who cares? Back when I was a teenager listening to this song, we didn't give a rats ass what it meant, we just knew a good song when we heard it! Sooooo, just enjoy it!

[WorldExtremeCholo]

thanks for posting with words. a great song

[jeffntracy]

This is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. IT is our connection to Divine guidance, illustrated so well here.

[keytarman3]

this band has such a distinct sound, marvelous

This aint an anti abortion tune.

It's actually a pro abortion song about the joys of flushing an unwanted feotus down the toilet...

You. Bunch. Of. Dumb. Fucks.
