| Notable as one of my least favorite ELO songs. The definite weak link in what is probably their best album. | |

| This is one of my all-time favorite ELO numbers. Really great! A piece of trivia: It's not in the lyrics above, but at the very end of the song, you can hear Jeff say "Aw, lookout...!" In the original recording by The Move (or was it Idle Race?, I forget off the top of my head), the song ends with the line "Lookout baby a plane's a-comin'!" | |

| I love this song. I hope ELO gets a little more recognition from the Monster.Com ads, even as those ads fade into the sunset (and soon). | |

| Ace Frehley (original member of KISS) has also done a not-bad cover version of "Do Ya". I've also read that Sheryl Crow has covered it, but I've yet to be able to find that version. 1 | |

| A couple of notes on this song: 1) Except for "Roll Over Beethoven", this is probably the oldest ELO song (from the standpoint of when it was written). Jeff Lynne wrote it while he was a member of The Move (the band that was the predecessor to ELO). gpciie, this might explain why it doesn't hang with the rest of the album for you. 2) It's now being used as the soundtrack for a new ad campaign in the U.S. by Monster.com (a job-search web site). 3) Back in the 1990s, it was very nearly used by Gatorade as the soundtrack to an ad featuring Michael Jordan. I know the guy who wrote the ad; he said that everyone at the agency and at the client loved it, but they realized that fairly few people in the target would recognize the song. Too bad. | |
