The groups most commercially successful album and a double to boot. For this sixth album it took four weeks to write and two months to record. Those were the days. I do not think it is their best work by far, but it is good. Reaching #4 in both the U.S. and the U.K. and spawning 4 singles of Turn To Stone, Sweet Talkin' Woman, Mr. Blue Sky and It's Over. All 4 went top 20 in the U.K. with only the first two reaching that status in the U.S., Turn to Stone charting the highest at #13. Jeff Lynne considers this album their best work along with A New World Record.
I LIKE THIS ALBUM
Worst Track - The Whale
Best Track - Jungle
I was standing in the jungle, I was feeling alright
Mmmhmmm, Mmmhmmm
I was wondering in the darkness, in the middle of the night
Mmmhmmm, Mmmhmmm
The moon began to shine, I saw a clearing ahead
Mmmhmmm, Mmmhmmm
But what's that going on, I think I'm outta my head
Mmmhmmm, Mmmhmmm.
CHORUS:
Chooka chooka hoo la ley
Looka looka koo la ley.
A hundred animals were gathered 'round in the night
Mmmhmmm, Mmmhmmm
And they were singing out a lovely song under the pale moonlight
Mmmhmmm, Mmmhmmm
I stood and stared for quite a while
Then a lion sang to me and smiled:
"Come join us if you so desire."
REPEAT CHORUS
I said now please explain the meaning of this song you sing
Mmmhmmm, Mmmhmmm
"Wondrous is our great blue ship
That sails around the might sun
And joy to everyone that rides along!"
REPEAT CHORUS
AND THEY DANCED!!!
Pretty soon I knew the tune and
We sat and sang under the moon
And the jungle rang in joyful harmony.
REPEAT CHORUS
REPEAT CHORUS
"Wondrous is our great blue ship
That sails around the might sun
And joy to everyone that rides along!"
