... to believe that Mr Blue Sky may be the most perfect pop song ever created?

[AllMimsyWereTheBorogoves]

Bliss. I've told my family to play it at the end of my funeral.

It's fantastic. Always makes me feel so happy.

Thank you. You're all right.
I have just ordered this from Amazon.
Mr Blue Sky removes me if my first love, in a lovely way. And my running music needs revamping

It is perfect for me, full of happiness which must come to an end. Makes me think of driving around with my Dad, he'd been diagnosed with terminal cancer, but we would put that on and drive round and sing along. It makes me want to dance and cry all at once.

, Moghedien.

I've caught DS 7 under his duvet with a torch listening to it on his CD player!!

I don't know whether to be proud or ashamed!

Me too Oh. We should have a joint party and go halves on ELO to play .

Fantastic feel good song. Love it.

Thanks, AllMimsy.

On a happier note, anyone else love the Doctor Who episode where they come together to 'find' the Doctor, and end up forming a wee ELO tribute band?

I've put it on a playlist for DS recently and he loves it - heads off to school with it playing to get him going for the day.

Yes yes yes Moghedien. Love that episode! It is called Love and Monsters and features the equally lovely Marc Warren.

Oh he is really easy on the eye is Marc Warren. Scared me as Mr Teatime though.

Absolutely agree. Had it played as the last song at my wedding. YANBU!

I absolutely love that song! So joyous and emotive. And yes, it's the perfect running song.

Great choice, Harold!

I love this too.. A all round perfect song

I love this song! moghedian it too reminds me of my Dad He lives abroad and I miss him so much! I've got it going around my head now and want to cry. Silly me.
Wasn't it used in an advert lately?

My Dad was playing ELO at Hyde Park today when we visited! He'd agree with you. I like it enough. There are other songs I feel the goosebumps to more, though.

Funky, not sure if you ever resolved your arguments, but in case you didn't, the words at the end are 'please turn me over'. Remember this was on the days of vinyl, before cds so at the end the record needed to be turned in order to play the other side.
I live ELO and was lucky enough to see them in concert a couple of times, including the Out of the Blue special charity concert at Wembley arena.

Love it! A proper feel good song- it always cheers me up

I don't like it. Most perfect song is clearly Good Vibrations or God Only Knows.

I don't like it. Almost embarrassed to admit it though as I'm so obviously outnumbered.

Funky, not sure if you ever resolved your arguments, but in case you didn't, the words at the end are 'please turn me over'

Yes - I resolved it when I was an adult and rehashed the same query in the pub once. My cousins were convinced it was 'Mr Blue Sky' using one of those voice changer things.

I love it too. Remember ELO being played in the house when I was a kid and think it's just the best feel good song ever.

Really enjoyed Jeff Lynn with Gareth Malone's choir on I think? Children in Need last year. Was fab.

Have it on my IPad and turn it up loud. DH thinks I'm a right saddo.

Oh YANBU, ELO, The Travelling Willburys & Live & Let Die by Macca' s Wings, all brilliant!
