This track was used as a theme song by ABC Television during their coverage of one of the Olympics, minus the 1:29 start of reversed lyrics and odd tones. It’s great to hear to get a stimulus for action. The song also served as the theme for the “CBS Sports Spectacular” sports anthology program in the 80’s.

yes a true ELO masterpiece - for 30 years I have always wished the guitars in the mix had more punch (a verrry minor complaint) - Love Lies Bleeding - intro to Funeral For a Friend comes to mind (Elton John)

This ELO song gets played on the classic rock radio stations more than any other ELO song. I love instrumentals and this is one of the coolest ever. ELO really shines as a band on this track. One of the best off of Face The Music. Love the drums. This was awesome live.

Forward or backwards, once this song gets rolling drummer Bev Bevan really showed he can play.

I played it backwards over and over when I was younger and ruined the album

Okay, Gardere, I currently work that ride and know a bit about the history and that ride no longer contains the pictures of the aliens and skeletons. But the ride has NEVER been air conditioned. It's merely the motion of the ride that makes the air circulate.

As a kid an amusement park called "Funtown USA" played this song on an indoor ride called the "Astrosphere". It was dark and they would show pictures of aliens on the walls. The best thing was it was air conditioned in the ride and couple's would ride it so they could make out. I did many times myself. Great memories from this song!!!!
