Zonino! I love it. 
TBE's got my feet going again, might have to fire up the Roland and hit a few things.
Nice work. That would make a cracking set-opener.
Was it all done pre-OASYS and all you except TBE?

Aw, glad you like it. I'm so happy with it. I've been smiling all evening.
It was all done pre Oasys. TBE's drums arrived yesterday. It's 2 different takes of him mixed together. One he did straight and the other he went mad. You can hear more of the mad take in the final verse (especially inthe "Look very carfeully" bit) The last verse and the ending chorus I sang this afternoon and the mix was finished at about 7.30 this evening.
I wouldn't rule out doing it live actually. And God bless Jeff Lynne for writing it. |

That was spooky! I have it looping through my headphones and it hit that line just as I read it!

Amen to that. Should be a Frostie...if only an "Honorary" one.

I must say that i love this song, and that it is one of those song that imo i alway think of the orignal and think no1 else should do it............ But i love this version it sounds great everything about it is great. and mum likes it to she likes ELO.
Well done Jem and TBE.

How is it that one bloke can be so bloody clever. I was expecting to be dissapointed, the ELO version is just so good it's difficult to see how it could be improved on. You seem to have done just that you clever sod you!

I am drunk and now, having listened to this I am also very happy, what a brilliant cover. Well done to both you chaps, a validation of the new working practice I think...
I shall now go to sleep and the hangover which is to come won't seem so bad in a few hours  |

| I was so blown away by the song, I forgot how to spell in my last post. Seriously though, you did Jeff Lynne proud and actually improved on one of his songs. Great work! |

It made perfect sense to me.. but I've had a couple beer too
The tune sounds incredible!
Jeff Lynne always got amazing vocal sounds on his records, but you've really taken it to another level.
