Was just thinking of some for the week-long northern Michigan excursion I'm about to take with my family. Might put a nice CD of them together for the drive up. A few I see are: - Waterfall - Ocean Breakup / King of the Universe - Mr. Blue Sky en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Electric_Light_Orchestra_songsJim PS Thanks, HoraceWimp, for the board; I really appreciate it, and I'm sure others do as well.

Isn't 'One Summer Dream' a song about nature and/or the environment? "Deep waters flow out to the sea / Warm summer breeze blows endlessly...Blue mountains high and valley low...Bird on the wing goes floating by"

I think it was a protest type song, like Save me Now.

"Bird on the wing goes floating by" ... but there's a teardrop in his eye... Jeff should have done deeper research in biology for this one. From what scientifics say, up to now there have been no reports of sights of birds crying. Of any species (except for Big Bird, who used to get offended and weep, but he is not a bird technically speaking).

As I recall, Big Bird wiped away his tears with his hand/wing - an even more bizarre trick of biology!

After all these years, his identity is revealed at last

First of all, I wrote "scientifics" instead of "scientists" and nobody told me anything. Wrong!
Queen: don't be surprised to see Big Bird wiping his tears with his wing. I don't know in which cathegory biologists would classify him, but despite his name, I wouldn't even count him as a bird. He was way too brilliant to be classified as one (although still silly for human standards) and just put in the same bag along with doves, whose only ambition in life is finding bread crumbs and aiming their dumpings at the cleanest guys they can find.
And Klupki, even when the identity of the bird of "One Summer Dream" was finally revealed, a bigger question arises: where (and why... and on what) was he floating?

"Rain Is Falling" is another one.
It depends on how one personally defines "nature". Aren't people and the things they build a product and part of nature? I'd say so.
