I've always liked that song. Do you know what year this was? I could guess just by looking at the hair style though!
Not for sure. Mark Shearer turned me on to ELO. Some of their tunes were on the radio and popular at the time, but I found out I liked nearly all the others that weren't played.
Wiki says it was the last song on their 1979 album "Discovery".
Don't Bring Me Down
After I first got online, searching out some song lyrics was one of the first things I did to satisfy my curiosity about certain songs. Wiki says this about the "Don't bring me down..Bruce!"
According to the liner notes of the ELO compilation Flashback, he is saying the German word "Gruß," as in the expression "Grüß Gott." After the song's release, so many people had misinterpreted the word as "Bruce" that Lynne actually began to sing the word as "Bruce" for fun at live shows.
I also didn't know the song was dedicated to the NASA Skylab space station, which re-entered the Earth's atmosphere over the Indian Ocean and Western Australia on 11 July 1979.
LOL @ the Bruce line. I always thought it was Bruce too.
