To think Mr Blue Sky is a perfect track?

[AugustaProdworthy]

ELO are in the CiN concert now and I think it's a perfect track. It's got everything.

Yes! Yes! Yes! I love it

Was that the original singer though?

Me and DH couldn't make up our minds?

I love ELO. So YANBU.

Yep, was rocking with it just then. Love the fact they showed all the similar aged audience members to. Me, older buggers, they were rocking.

It's the family favourite in house (and car) :)

Absolutely my favourite song ever. Will be played at me funeral. [jolly]

I love ELO. Such a brilliant band, and Mr blue sky is one of their best songs so yanbu from me.

Yes, from 1978! Was definitely Jeff Lynn/e
We played it at my Dad's funeral and it was perfect. And it's on Shaun of the Dead. (Love that )

It's an amazing song. YANBU OP

It's a weird one but I think the diary of horris wimp is my favourite of theirs, so good to sing along to.

Ahh thanks

Believe it or not I don't think I'd ever actually seen him before and obviously his voice sounds different because he's getting older.

It was fantastic though and I can't stop humming the tune now

I used to like Hold on tight to your dreams as well.

He was on The One Show a while back explaining how he wrote the song.

YANBU

Every compilation tape/CD I've ever made for the car has this song on it somewhere :)

It is fabulous. When it came out, I was in primary school in the UK (probably Yr5 in modern currency) and our teacher had us do interpretive dance to it. I have never forgotten it. I have indoctrinated let my DDs listen to it and they now love it. DH does too. It's one of the most feel good tracks ever.

I honesty think it is actually impossible for anyone to listen to Mr Blue Sky and not dance/tap feet or hands.

Really great to run to too.

YABU
toes not tapping here
however, chacun a son (bad)gout

Oh I love 70's ELO. Mr Blue Sky, Overture 10372, Livin' thing are Fantastic.
Its just a shame that people I know think of ELO as 'Rock n Roll is king' which is one of, in my opinion, one of their weakest songs.
Incidently I remember having nightmares about Jeff Lyne when I was a kid as I thought he was a werewolf !

It's simply amazing!

I used to love it, but it's one of the songs in the Young Voices concert this year, every class at school is practising it and it's beginning to get just a little tedious...
