"Sounds like the Beatles." Interesting that you said that, because reportedly John Lennon once said, "If you want to know what the Beatles would have sounded like had they stayed to gather, listen to ELO."
I've heard Lennon called ELO the "son of the Beatles".
Jeff Lynne actually was producer on the Beatles songs released in the 90's, Free as a Bird and Real Love. I also believe he was producer on the Beatles Anthology album.
There are obvious references in the music to "Day In The Life"
A magestic Beatiful ending
"had they stayed to gather"...to gather what?🤣
This song was voted the happiest song ever. ELO has a huge catalogue in various forms. You will never get a bad ELO song.
This is the happiset song ever, buddy: th-cam.com/video/d-diB65scQU/w-d-xo.html
Voted at least 3 different times AND scientifically proven as the happiest song ever,
I will tell you what I know is scientifically proven: Mozart inhanced children cognetive abilities and as you say makes people happier. But ok no arguments. for me being happy is listening to most Queen songs.@@doomhunter697
@@doomhunter697I thought don't stop me now by Queen was voted the happiest song?
@@AA-sw5pbDepends on the poll. Most are for Mr. Blue Sky.
Jeff Lynne is one of the most underrated musical geniuses out there.
EXTRAORDINARY Talent. Jeff has written and produced for many great bands.
lynne is never ever underrated. 🤣
@@hauptstadtgoerehe was by many critics for quite some time (circa 1987-2013?) but not by other musicians, including the greatest, who would have him produce their music.
Proudly your 100th like. 👍
I used to wake up my daughter every Saturday morning with this song
So sweet!! 🥰
That "cowbell" sound is actually a fire extinguisher being whacked!
I have contended for a few decades, that if not for the Beatles, ELO would have been them, stature-wise. Their catalogue is remarkable. Jeff Lynne is a genius. He was part of the Traveling Wilburys, along with Tom Petty, Roy Orbison, George Harrison, & Bob Dylan. My opinion....ELO is still one of the most underrated bands of all time, even though they met with great success.
If it were not for the Beatles ELO would never have come up with this. They straight up stole this sound from them, and George Martin helped them do it.
There are innovators and pioneers and then comes the copy cats.
"I have contended for a few decades, that if not for the Beatles, ELO would have been them,"
Absolute nonsense, ELO were inspired by The Beatles and as the comment below says, they stole from them. So "if not for The Beatles", ELO would not even have existed. The same goes for a lot of pop bands. The Beatles started it all in the early 60s.
Every band are influenced by others, even the mighty Zeppelin ripped others off.
Yes you are hearing Beatles influence. Jeff Lynne from ELO and George Harrison were close friends and collaborated.
Jeff has produced songs for so many. The story of this song is that he was in Switzerland trying to write the album, but it was raining for a week or so. Then it stopped & the song just dropped into his head.
What a GENIUS! The song just DROPPED into his head! Wow!
According to sales figures, this is clearly the most popular ELO song. The next four are: Don't Bring Me Down, Evil Woman, Livin' Thing, and Telephone Line. Last Train comes sixth.
My Mom was at school with them , so I was listening to them from the 70s , my favourite albums is Aldarado and Time 😎😎 I'm Brummie Originally now live in OZ and their I have the Birmingham blues hits me all the time , miss home 😎😎😎🇦🇺
Robotic voice at the very end says "Please turn me over" signifying the end of side three of the vinyl double record the track originated on, not "Mr Blue Sky" that the lyric video shows.
Love this song! ELO had their biggest hits in the 70's-80's & mixed modern rock pop songs with classical overtones. Jeff Lynne wrote most of their songs. They had a lot of great hits such as "Roll Over Beethoven", "Showdown", "Telephone Line", "Can't Get It Out Of My Head", "Evil Woman", "Strange Magic", "Livin' Thing", "Do Ya", "Rockaria!", "Turn To Stone", "Sweet Talkin' Woman", "Wild West Hero", "Don't Bring Me Down", "Shine A Little Love", "Confusion", "Hold On Tight", "Twilight" etc.
Looking like Telephone Line will be next!
@@barsandbarbells2022 When you react to, *"Telephone Line",* (or any other ELO song), just react to the audio of the studio album cut, not promo videos (like this), as they often shorten the songs, which they did with this one. You don't need to react to visuals, just throw a photo of the album cover up on the screen and focus on listening to the music. These promo videos from the pre-MTV era are just distracting to the aural experience. When we grew up with these classic songs in the '70s (and before), we didn't see these low-budget promo videos, we just listened to the music on our record players, cassette decks, and radios. After, *"Telephone Line",* I recommend another great song from that same album, the opening track, *"Tightrope".* It is the quintessential ELO song.
Great song
An ABSOLUTE MUST HEAR,, Electric Light Orchestra "Tightrope"...Trust Me!!
Jeff Lynn, the vocalist and leader of ELO later became a music producer. By the late 80s he was working with many artists including Tom Petty, and George Harrison (Beatle). They were in close proximity one week when George was in town to record a track or two, and George, Tom, Jeff, called their other friends nearby for instruments and a home studio, so they all went to Bob Dylan's LA house and hung out with him and ROY ORBISON. A supergroup was formed for a couple albums with the name TRAVELING WILBURYS. (Handle with care, End of the line) at the turn of the late 80s. (89) Roy died during the video shooting from congestive heart failure, He helped pioneer rock with Elvis and Johnny Cash, and Carl Perkins.
There were alot of bands in the 70s that were trying to make rock operas , Styx elo, queen etc.and mixing in disco yo keep up with the times.
Super Band So Many Songs...Sir Paul McCartney Called Jeffe Lynne Best Songwriter Ever
Thankyou Jeff for amazing timeless music
This was part of a longer piece called 'Concerto for a rainy day'. Jeff Lynne composer for ELO is a huge beatles fan and got his wish to play with George Harrison in the Traveling Willburys and also produced the latest reissued beatles songs.
Not forgetting that prior to joining George in The Travelling Wilburys, Jeff had also produced his Cloud Nine album, his final album before he died.
Jeff Lyn is a Musical Genius. You should listen to Evil Woman or It’s Magic. Showdown was one of their really early hits! Their version of Chuck Berry’s Roll Over Beethoven is also a great track!
When Paul McArtey in the late 70s was asked what would the Beatles would sound like today his reply was ELO
A deep dive-reading is required for Jeff Lynne. Along with all his musical brilliance…he did do work with the Beatles.
ELO has a fun sound... Yes, a lot of Beatles influence... Jeff Lyn was one of the Willburys later, with Roy Orbison, George Harrison, Tom Petty and Bob Dylan... :)
Hi Guys Mr Blue Sky is the finale and fourth song in a suite of songs called Concerto For A Rainy Day Which also included Standing In The Rain Big Wheels And Summer And Lightning Side 3 of their double album Out Of The Blue The Band's seventh album released 28th October 1977 The Suite itself is 18 minutes and 48 seconds long
ELO's most popular song has always been between 2 songs Mr. Blue Sky and Don't Bring Me Down
My favorite ELO songs would be in not any order:
Telephone Line
Hold on Tight
Living Thing
Rockalia
And pretty much the entire Xanadux sound track.
For me, you can sense a similarity between this song & the Beatles (Yellow Submarine) & some songs from their 1967 (Sgt. Pepper`s Lonely Hearts Club Band) album. Apparently, John Lennon once said, that had the Beatles kept going, he thought they could have gone in ELO`s direction.
Very underrated song by ELO this is a rare video of Jeff Lyne with NO glasses !!! my favorite band of the 70's !!! and he still playing it's a banquet to see him performing with his band . I do recommend " Starlight " and " Midnight Blue "
Waterfall, Shangri La, Tightrope, Diary of Horace Whimp, so many awesome songs
I love the scene of baby Groot dancing to this song in the opening scene of Guardians of the Galaxy 2.
Such a British song waiting for a Blue Sky...lol 😂❤
This really wants me to watch Gradians of the Galaxy again.
During lockdown was voted twice as the happiest song ever........
This can also be heard in I think the second Guardians of the Galaxy movie
One of the greatest shows to see live,,,,, PLEASE take a listen to "Rock and Roll is King",,,, it will make you want to get up and dance !!!!!
Other fabulous ELO songs Telephone line, Turn to Stone, Living Thing, Rockaria, Horace Wimp, Confusion, Midnight Blue - and many more!
They haven’t been around that long……telegraph. Haha.
@@jeffmattson5766 excellent typo. Fixed.
🇨🇦 Just as popular were their songs "Living thing" and "Strange Magic" !
You don't have to be old to love this banger.
All over the world has a dance happy feel good tone as well. Need more happy music 🎶 in these troubled times! ❤️
Fudge ! YA!
I love this song. Its a perfect wake up song when you have a BIG DAY!
This was ELO's take on the Beatles, so you are spot on!
Jeff Lynn - plus Roy Orbison, Tom Petty, Dylan, Harrison - The Traveling Wilbury's. Not to be missed. Hope you react to them! AND the supergroup "The Highwaymen" - Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings and the legendary songwriter Kris Kristofferson.
ELO can do so many genres of music. Definitely a happy Beatles vibe. Jeff Lynne (the main writer and lead singer) would actually join George Harrison of the Beatles (plus. Tom Petty, Bob Dylan and Roy Orbison) to form The Traveling Wilburys in the 80's. Listen to Handle with Care.
VERY REFLECTIVE OF THE BRITISH VIEW OF, OUR OWN WEATHER.
One thing about ELO is that they have more songs that can get stuck in your head than almost any other band, including this song. It'll probably be stuck in my head for most of the day now, LOL. Love a band that uses strings and other instruments not necessarily is thought of when it comes to rock music. Jeff Lynne is such an amazing and iconic singer-songwriter-arranger and all-around artist. You will absolutely dig the rest of ELO's music.
And so much fun to sing along with - no matter what note you hit, you probably are still in harmony with someone lol
@@steviekc9057 You haven't heard me sing. I'm so bad I don't sing along with the car radio by myself. LOL
Oh, y'all gotta do more of ELO, these guys are fantastic. Jeff Lynne is a phenomenal musician & genius at arrangements. He has worked with a "who's who" of the music industry. (Not to mention his collaboration with Roy Orbison, George Harrison, Tom Petty & Bob Dylan; "The Traveling Wilburys"! Simply Epic.)
Still such a popular song in the UK. It featured in the closing ceremonies of the London 2012 Olympic Games, and the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games.
Jeff Lynne:
Lead Singer
Guitar 🎸
Lyricist
Composer
Producer....
(Musical Genius)
And at the end it doesn't say "Mr. Blue Sky" it says "Please Turn Me Over".
The words at the end say...Please turn me over...Because it was the last song on side 3 of the double album.
Great band !!!
Telephone Line is my favorite from them but they have a lot of really great songs ❤😊
They still tour in 2019 (Jeff Lynne was over 70 y.o.) and their fans are mostly aged men and women (like me) ... the best versions of their sings are from Wembley 2017 and you can find may videos of this concert on YT.
Mr blue Sky link: th-cam.com/video/fQaJa1WH9ck/w-d-xo.html
so can you see how good they are still today
They are maybe even better today in some ways than in their prime. Jeff has put together a fantastic group of musicians and has decades of experience. The Wembley show was great, wish I could have been there.
In the audience I saw mostly oldsters, but also younger folks and children. Looked like 3 or 4 generations of family sometimes. All smiling, dancing, singing along and having a great time. That's ELO, happiness in musical form.
This song opens The Guardians of the Galaxy, Volume 2, so if you decide to start watching the Marvel movies, it's only 15 movies before you get to hear it again.
Sorta', kinda' kidding, but if you do start the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe), whether it's on the channel or in private life, here's the law:
1: Stan Lee makes a cameo in every movie. ALL HAIL STAN LEE.
2: Release order only, because every one has one or two mid / credit, after / credit scenes.
3: Every one has one or two mid / credit, after / credit scenes.
4: Although some would disagree, there are some who throw shade at "The Incredible Hulk" & "Thor: Dark World" for not being "as good" as the others, etc.
Ignore them. These each stand on their own as excellent movies. "DO NOT FEED THE TROLLS".
Favorite happy song ever
Classic song. they hav a whole bunch of hits
Jeff has written songs for so many American people , even Tom Petty and the Beatles 😎 Aireosmith and the double album Out Of The Blue is a masterpiece 🇦🇺
MR Blue Sky...can always make a miserable grey, wet depressing winters Monday morning feel like a hot summers Friday afternoon by the time you get to work if you hear it on the radio. As you said it’s a feel good tune 🙂
Mr Blue Sky is their biggest hit ❤
“Don’t Bring Me Down” was their biggest hit. Mr Blue Sky barely cracked the Top 40, but has gained great popularity decades later.
@@chronomatt6990 ...the charts don't really count, Mr Blue Sky is their signature song and has been downloaded and streamed more times than any of their other songs
Actually Mr. Blue Sky reached no6 in the Top 40 and is certified Triple Platinum in the UK & the US. Don't Bring Me Down reached no3 but is only certified Gold in the UK & Double Platinum in the US. Mr. Blue Sky is definitely the bigger song 😊
An upbeat and fun song. Recommend next Evil Woman and Don't Bring Me Down.
I believe it is scientifically impossible to be in a bad mood while listening to this song
ELO is always on my playlist when I go camping or just kick it in the backyard with a beer. Great vibes!
If you see them live, you won't want the concert to end. They are that good experiencing them live.
I saw them in 1975, and 1979. Two of the best concerts ever, and I've been to hundreds of concerts of all Jaundras.
Running up to the attic to get the Out of the Blue album. Have to take a new listen. Me and wife have actually one each album. Bought them just couple weeks before we got together in 77. 😁
What on earth was it doing in the attic?
I've watched LOADS of reaction videos. I think this is the first one I've seen on Mr. Blue Sky, one of my absolute favourites! NICE!
ELO, Great Song and well performed
EVEN LIVE PERFORMANCES, THEIR WEMBLY SHOW WAS FANTASTIC , AND THE FULL CROWD, VERY SUPPORTIVE BY JOINING IN THE SINGING.
Nice, you can hear the Beatles all over this one
Oh, and Livin' Thing!!
Speaking of morning pick me ups,, his most uplifting song & a great way to start your day,, Bob Marley "Three Little Birds"
ELO is like if the Beatles continued on into the late 70s/early 80s
You have to listen to more ELO guys,you will not be disappointed.
Lennon said ELO were the band The Beatles would have become.
You need to do “Fire on High”. It will blow your mind.
The happiest song in the world, it's science!!! No, really! Scientists found that based on certain notes & chords, timing etc, this makes people happier than any other song! The perfect forumula.
ELO's forte was blending classical music with rock, most notably with "Livin' Thing" "Rockaria" and "Roll Over Beethoven"--the full eight-minute version.
Loved ELO back in my youth and still today! Strange Magic is my fav!
This is my go to song if I want to be cheered up. It's about the happiest song I know.
ELO,s best in my opinion is a early B side to Livin thing . its called Fire On High its very spooky like Hallowen , its a instrumental tune drumming is incredible ,very much worth a listen
I second this. There is a bit of an 'easter egg' in that one.
Jeff Lynne and Roger Taylor from Duran Duran both lived in Shard End in Birmingham, but only Jeff Lynne mentions it in one of his songs
You should listen to Concerto for a rainy day from ELO.
AMAZING 😃
Lovely reaction as usual Please look at a group called Renaissance. They are kind of folk, classical, prog group. If you want links I would be more than happy to share
I loved this as a teenager but I was GOBSMACKED to have the chance recently yo hear ELO perform it live..... It was a memory I will keep forever.... They were and are still FANTABULOUS
I agree... I've also always felt a strong Beatles vibe in it
this song came about when lynne went on holiday to France for a week it rained until his last day , the sun came out so he stayed an extra week , the lyrics hey you with the pretty face welcome to the human race was about the birth of a band members daughter his love of France caused him to write another hit called hold on tight to your dreams where they sings in french and English
I expected to see more smiles!! This song is a guaranteed bad mood fixer upper. For their heavy radio plays, check out "Don't Bring Me Down", "Turn to Stone", "Telephone Line", and "Evil Woman"
Jeff Lynne and ELO were OFTEN knocked by critics for being derivative of The Beatles. But they're different enough and a ton of fun in their own right. Personally, I love Tight Rope, Turn to Stone, Sweet Talkin' Woman....oh, hell, a whole lot of tracks!
I guess Brits relate to this record more as we don't see much blue sky. I always loved this record. I remember when it first came out
Great tune indeed, strong Beatles influenced.
Voted the happiest song in the world...:)
The vocoder effect was used in the mid 1960s on Sparkys magic piano!
Louis Clark Sr. Conducted the 50 piece orchestra..his son Jr. Now is the conductor.
It's a charming song, impossible not to like, but I feel contextualised darkly it can also remind me of a Ren & Stimpy cartoon where Ren suffers the replaying of a 'happy song'....Ren & Stimpy fans only.
John Lennon called ELO "Beatles Junior."
sounded to me like they were trying a "Beatles" vibe on this song!!
If you do ELO again, be sure to check out their fairly recent “Live at Wembley” concert. Start with “Telephone Line”. Simply amazing!
oh yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i love ELO!
ELO is a great band with too many hits to mention.
Jeff looks so strange without sunglasses.
"Evil Woman" and "Don't Bring Me Down" are huge ELO songs. Both are written about Jeff's ex who did him dirty.
I read an article where a scientist in the Netherlands developed an algorithm to find the happiest song on earth. This was the winning song.
Love watching flash mobs dancing to this 😊
ELO All Over The World and Fire On High
They have some Beatles influence, but they are much more than just a Beatles clone. They are great in their own right, the songwriting is of the highest caliber, and for pure fun and happiness I would choose ELO over the Beatles any day.
Check out some of the Wembley concert from 2017 some time, it's fantastic. The whole audience is smiling, dancing, singing along... that's what ELO brings.
Just like Bohemian Rhapsody, everyone in the UK can sing this word for word.
