dEFROG ON 45 #11: WONDROUS IS THAT GREAT BLUE SHIP THAT SAILS AROUND THE MIGHTY SUN
Like most uncool teenagers in the 1970s, I was a big fan of Electric Light Orchestra.
Which means you might be seeing a couple more entries by them in this series. Sorry.
Anyway, I have a copy of “Shine A Little Love” (from the Discovery album) on 45, but truth be told, I've always loved the B-side even more – “Jungle”, which was actually from their previous album Out Of The Blue (which I had on 8-track tape, by the way – if yr going to be a music nerd, go for broke, I always say).
It’s a silly song, of course – Jeff Lynne goes for a night walk in the jungle and finds a group of articulate jungle animals singing around a campfire. But it’s a great tune, with a gratuitous tap dancing solo.
Suitable for making a fan video with puppets.
Joy to everyone who rides along,
This is dF
