Quote from: Moonglum on Yesterday at 09:33:57 PMI am afraid that ELO feature in my top ten list of bands that I just didn't get!

Anyway, here is something that Mick @Newportnobby probably will not like and Martin @port perran probably will. New to me...

Great voice and cover.

Tim

PS as Frank Zappa once said "Jazz is not dead it just smells a bit"

Very nice Tim @Moonglum and new to me too.

I've never heard that Frank Zappa quote before.

Manfred Mann - wrapped up like a douche?

I've often wondered about that too so I asked Mr Google :

The famous, widely misheard lyric is actually "revved up like a deuce" (referencing a 1932 Ford "deuce coupe"), but it famously sounds like "wrapped up like a douche". 

My all time favorite song from '74. Kept hearing it on the radio, but never knew the name or the singer. Finally found out who in '85.

Incidentally, and it's just occurred to me that the Beach Boys also had a very famous song about a deuce coupe.

Martin @port perran , FZ will frowning down on me as I misquoted him, he actually said "Jazz is not dead, it just smells funny". IIRC he said it in the introduction to "Be Bop Tango" from the "Roxy and Elsewhere" live album.

I don't recall listening to much Manfred Man but "Blinded by the Light" is a good "un" @kusojiji .
