Reminds me of a bad acid trip, man..
The Japanese subtitles certainly make it easier to follow along ;) :)
(I was listening to Traffic’s “John Barleycorn” and “Freedom Rider” today and thinking the same thing about how great music stands the test of time).
Not only best cover, better than the original.
ELO is one of the most underrated groups ever.
Jeff Lynne has a Jerry Lee Lewis lilt in his voice on this song.
Jeff Lynne and ELO is probably the best band ever.

Awesome. Thanks for sharing. ELO! EMPHATIC LYNNE OVERKILL! Yessss!
The Beatles version is very good.
I was in a retro mood tonight, listening to some Axe, UFO and Uriah Heep. Love ELO too, especially need her love, mr. Blue sky and don’t bring me down. Good bands all.
Roll Over, Beethoven--The Four Chaps, 1956
Sorry, Uriah Heep had a better version, IMO. :D
I lasted 1:16.
When it comes to covers I look for added value. This is what the Stones did to Chuck Berry (and others), and when they couldn’t, they didn’t release the track.
I was listening to... Ann Murray’s Country Croonin’ album on Spotify the other night and was amazed by the originality of her interpretations of all those standards. Added value, baby!
