Hey, the guys on Twitter where doing it with whichever song they felt fitted best. I thought ELO doesn't have songs with rhythm that matches Mr Bellamy's movements that well, and instead the one I chose matches them much better and was funnier in the context.
Also, why would you think they are disrespectful lyrics? They just say "the night has just began, with a good beer we are going out dancing" and other stuff of the kind. Not the deepest stuff from a philosophical point of view I must admit, but not disrespectful at all either.
EDIT: oops, missed the point from the title. Anyway, I insist that this song fits better.
Well, as I don't speak Spanish it's only natural I should make sure you hadn't chosen a song which made fun of short people, for example, as Mr B is rather titchy (but immeasurably cute too)
Are there really no ELO songs which will fit? I don't believe it!
It's all good entertainment, it doesn't cost a penny
Well, "Don't bring me Down" would probably fit, or "Buildings have eyes", or "On the Run". But there's not too many "danceable" ELO songs when you come to think about it.
The best therapy for any problem you might have is playing music with friends.
It has to be a ELO/Jeff song very centered on its drumming. Love and Rain, Night in the City, or that part in Sorrow About to Fall where the drums double their time.
Sorry, I couldn't resist it! It's like the video was calling for it. Just look at how he dances exactly at the pace of the music: one beat, one movement. And he gets all excited when it gets to the chorus. It was just meant to be.
I can't see or hear it, and it sounds blimmin' brilliant too
Edit - that's odd, I can't see yesterday's video either just a sad face emoticon and "No video with supported format and MIME type found" What's changed since last night?

eloneen: I'm getting ready for our 2024 North American eclipse! We will have 70-80% coverage at the peak of the event, but it's still a big deal! The kids at the school will be very excited! We have eclipse glasses for myself and the family at the ready. ::t1615::

Horacewimp: It should be a great sight eloneen we are getting nothing in the middle of the uk 😢

orioles70: I had to go to 5 places today before I got some eclipse viewing glasses. When I got to 7/11, the lady was saying on the phone, "I'm down to my last box". In Maryland we'll get about an 85% blackout at the peak. So far the clouds are holding off.

unomusette: Oooh, hope all our 'mercan forumheads have a great view, you lucky things ::t1607::

eloneen: I got my glasses from Amazon last week - enough for the family and a few to spare. I was at school, and the eclipse was happening right before dismissal, so many teachers had lessons about the eclipse and ended the day with taking the students outside.

eloneen: It was quite a scene, and great fun watching them experiencing our partial eclipse with such enthusiasm and awe. Some of them had seen the total eclipse in western NC in 2017 with their families. My mother was underwhelmed, expecting much more. Oh well!
Apr 9, 2024 2:18:07 GMT
orioles70: expecting much more? or maybe much less? (sunlight) I was a little surprised at how much light came through with 85% of the sun blocked. I had expected a cloudy day so I was pleasantly surprised by how good the eclipse viewing was.

BIuebird: We got about 88% coverage here in Delaware! I had bought my glasses last week, so we were prepared. It was pretty cool! I was afraid that the clouds that creeped up might obscure it at the last minute, but we were lucky and they held off.

eloneen: My mother was expecting more drama, more darkness, more changes. Instead, it looked like a quicker than normal transition from sunny skies to dusky skies in mid-afternoon, then a return to sunny skies. After all the hype on TV, she was disappointed.
Apr 9, 2024 18:59:41 GMT
eloneen: I saw the total eclipse in 2017, about 4 hours west of where I live. This year's partial eclipse was not as dramatic, but still quite extraordinary.

Timeblue: Did you all see the lights go down?
Apr 10, 2024 10:30:04 GMT
eloneen: Not entirely, but we saw the streetlights turn on, which was cool.

Horacewimp: Did you get the eerie silence when the birds stop singing because they think night has come early
Apr 12, 2024 15:19:22 GMT
eloneen: I thought I heard birds singing the way they do early in the morning. We didn't get complete coverage, so it was probably a little confusing when it got a bit darker and then brightened up again fairly soon after.

BSJ: We were able to enjoy the full eclipse from our backyard. Unbelievable experience. A hush stillness was felt. It became dark during the few minutes of full coverage. From when we first started to see the sliver of moon sliding over the sun, to the end, 2hr
Apr 13, 2024 13:19:47 GMT
eloneen: Agreed. The total eclipse experience is amazing, and I'm glad I was able to see one.

Timeblue: Just a word on the middle east crisis, I pray to god that this doesn't escalate as some have predicted. I fear this situation could be serious in the coming days.....

eloneen: I'm with you on that.
