I found an ideal Christmas present for Mrs Wimp at the garden centre today, it even mentions the lyrics on the back.

ELO mentioned on Pointless, acts who had hits in 1981. I said Tenpole Tudor (same as AA) which was also pointless!

Believe it or not, I heard "I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday" by Wizzard from 1973 at a McDonald's in Valparaiso, Indiana, USA, today, 12/2/2022!

Well, heck yeah, that's the very first time, after 12:30 PM CST to be exact, that I've ever heard it out in the wild as it was never a hit here stateside!

Just watched Susan Calman's Grand Days Out (C5) from a few weeks ago, this show was highlighting Yorkshire and she visited Wakefield which is about 2 miles from me. Anyway,there was a segment on the show about roller disco and the clip of music they played was Xanadu (along with a bit of the video)

trekkielo, one Xmas season I heard that song playing in our grocery and thought it strange and could make a safe bet that I was the only one in the building who knew that song.

Today I attended the wedding of one of my best friends daughter she has grown up listening to ELO and went with us to a couple of recent shows but today after the Church service as she left they played “shine a little love’. At the after party second song played Mr blue sky and I was dragged on to the Floor by her to dance.A great day brought a tear to my watching her coming down the aisle. And yes they were both the original versions…….

Love that they played Shine at a wedding. Took us by surprise BSJ but it worked so well. What pleased me as well was that there was a lot of young guests, mid 20s, and I heard them saying that’s a great song bet Jeff never thought SALL would be a wedding song….
