You can take the girl out of the 70s, but you will never take the 70s out of the girl — at least not when it comes to music:

ELO: Don’t bring me down.
Instrumental with some words
Can you hear me?
Ahhhhhh, Something, something!
Believe me now,
I could never say goodbye,
Don’t leave me now,
Believe me now.

Watermelons. <—- Enemy of civilization.
I actually own a blue vinyl version of the above album; It seems I might have been the only audience for the radio station giving out stuff like that at the time.
As a teen and in my early 20′s, I loved ELO’s music and all their influences (the Beatles in particular). Jeff Lynne and the boys were always a great show. I remember seeing them in 1977 at St John Arena in Columbus Ohio (with an opening act of Pure Prairie League – there are some strange bedfellows for you). This was their ‘Out of the Blue’ tour, with loads of sci-fi special effects, like a huge descending UFO.
IMHO, the album “Don’t Bring Me Down” appeared on was the beginning of the end. Fortunately for Lynne, his career was resurrected for a brief time with the Traveling Willburys.
Just good clean fun. Something we are sorely lacking these days.
