I love this song and your video made it even more enjoyable. Watching it the second time I noticed I had missed the first few seconds (where he falls asleep) the first time. I think the story works even better when it comes as a surprise that it's a dream (as it did to me). I suggest you skip the introduction and go straight to the B&W story. Anyway this is so good I wish ELO would make it the official video of their best song.
My husband plays this song every time we have a date. He knows it is one of my favorite songs. I dance to the music while we are driving. I LOVE ELO music!
So innovative yet simple but complex so uplifting and fun what a band ELO were. Legendary can only describe them. I don’t see bands with such unique imaginations around today with so many classic anthems. Well it was Jeff Lynne certainly an unusual talent that only comes around once in a lifetime.
Thank you 🙏 so much for this upload of one of my eternal favourite songs. Thank you 🙏 also for this wonderful lovely video. Well done! She's so lovely. As a non-native English speaker growing up, I always wondered what this chorus line meant: "While he just stood there mumblin', a-fumblin'" It really took several years for someone to explain it to me. Since then, "mumblin', a-fumblin'" has been one of my favourite English expressions and I use it even when it makes no sense at all. Before I forget, a fun fact from this song. Why is it missing the Saturday from the list of days of the week at the end and in this song? "... Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Sunday Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Sunday ...." Jeff Lynne was once asked about this. His answer was quite simple: "Saturday? Saturday is Premier League!" With this short and concise statement, he left the interviewer at the time absolutely completely speechless. A hearty "Servus" from Jeff's not so secret favourite city here in Bavaria.
My names Peter but when I was growing up my dad nicknamed me Horace I'd never thought ELO would come along and do a song that I'ved just listen in a very long time since I've heard this song.
ELO's heyday came during my high-school years. I remember buying the Discovery (disco very) album in '79 and discovering this song. I always looked forward to new ELO music.
Great! I loved the leit motif of Horace carrying his wife much like his bike, which goes to show even though he is a married man, he is still the same airhead as always!
Everything you've ever wanted is on the other side of fear. Great video. You perfectly captured the meaning of this song, that we are in fact masters of our own destiny and we must take charge, in fact amplified it and brought it to life. Nice work!
I mean, just take all my praise. ALL OF IT. This is a work of art. I do share the opinion of the pinned comment though, that it would work a little better if it wasn't a dream.
this is so good man, im planning on making a similar video, i have the script all written out and everything. im glad i found yours now. i can take some notes from it!
I went to school with a kid called Horris, his full name was Horris Fru Herbert, he got bullied alot, not surprised with a name like that, poor bastard

Thanks so much for the feedback. I've actually considered recutting it that way for a while. I'm glad you liked it! Thanks!

I watch this video every day its amazing. I can't understand how you are not being chased for interviews by all the TV channels
@@mariedolan-nq7zq Thank you!
One of my favourite ELO songs the 1970s were just amazing for music
That bit with the gate and the bike made me laugh. I can see my own son doing that 😅
Very funny
Loved it had a smile on all the way through it 😁 good job 👍👍

Horace Wimp should have met Eleanor Rigby.
Match made in music heaven
And both would listen I am the Walrus...

My favorite Horace Wimp video!
Thank you very much, that means a lot!
Go watch Goldbrick animations video and see if your opinion stays the same… definitely worth a watch
Brilliant video. The whole thing had me laughing Glad I found it
Great! I loved the leit motif of Horace carrying his wife much like his bike, which goes to show even though he is a married man, he is still the same airhead as always!
I was 16 in 1980
God i loved the 80s, so naughty, so exciting, so raw, different, i miss them. I dont recognise the world now😢
Horace Wimp one off ELO'S Best ever
.....that hardly gets played on the radio.
But I agree with your statement
Or live in concert. I wish they would.
this video gives me further inspiration to get a wife to get my life plan straight
and of course, amazing video!
Ive always liked this song since hearing it now some 43 years ago, YIKES ! Your video suits it well, quite charming, quite brilliant.
Great video . Brings back memories of the summer of 79. Thanks
Excellent video!! Love ELO - HORACE WIMP release date 1979, I was junior in high school!!
Masterpiece of a song and the album is ahead of its time
Brilliant video, mate! ❤
So so well done! I got tingles. Perfect actors for the role
Groovy, innovative and a cool use of your time during Covid. You look like a Mormon missionary ;)
Everything you've ever wanted is on the other side of fear.
Great video. You perfectly captured the meaning of this song, that we are in fact masters of our own destiny and we must take charge, in fact amplified it and brought it to life. Nice work!
What a joy this video is !
Estupendísima recreación acomercial del “H. W.” Se nota cuando las cosas se hacen por gusto…
LOL. Nicely done.
I mean, just take all my praise. ALL OF IT. This is a work of art. I do share the opinion of the pinned comment though, that it would work a little better if it wasn't a dream.
Mood lifting stuff here. excellent

Інтелектуальне покоління.
very well done guys
Great, it captured it x
Great! Loved this!
Horace Wimp in this video reminds me of a young Frank Burns from MASH.😂
For me an electric song by the electric light orchestra.
Love it!
Well done!
How fun!!!
1:56 中野だあ～ 🎶
Good old horace
was this a release between their great orchestral stuff and the not so good disco sound?
It's like Sheldon from "The Big Bang Theory" ))
Samuel nice video in which town is this? seems soooooo quiet
Thanks! Seward, Nebraska
Who is the girl is she a known actor amazing video why don't u have more @@samuelsisco7071
Wish we could turn back the clock
That girl in the video she is so pretty
Horace gets the bus, he’s not on a bike?
Why is Horace rushing to catch the bus when he's on his bike?
This is cute
You do know that a Bus is not a Bike?
Thats great:) Kinda similar to this World at large Modest Mouse video - ua-cam.com/video/FNxa9pFwimk/v-deo.html - really good stuff
Unfortunately the marriage didn’t last. Horace later came out as gay.
Great Song.... very bad Video
Lol, it would be cool if ashton kutcher did a re do of this video with mila kunis as the wife
