| Being a huge ELO fan, I bought this album the day it came out. Here we are 26 years later, and the side with Olivia Newton John has yet to be played. Thank God that the sides were seperated! | |

| This song was actually a Rush song before it was an ELO song. Completely different. And it beats the shit out of this version. One of progressive rock's finest efforts. 1 | |

| ok, i think olivia newton-john did this from the movie of the same name, and i'm guessing xanadu is a synonym for utopia or some other form of valhalla ie being in love is like being in utopia. what terrifies me is that i'm sitting here anaylsing the song, that i stumbled on by mistake. someone help me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 | |

| Yes, it's from the movie "Xanadu", for which ELO wrote and performed a number of songs. "Xanadu" is from the poem "Kubla Khan", by Samuel Taylor Coleridge: "In Xanadu did Kubla Khan A stately pleasure dome decree..." | |
