"Don't Bring Me Down" is a song by the Electric Light Orchestra (ELO), released in 1979 as a single and also included on their album "Discovery." The song was written by Jeff Lynne, the lead singer, and principal songwriter for ELO. "Don't Bring Me Down" became one of their most successful and well-known songs, reaching high chart positions in various countries.
The distinctive feature of the song is the repetitive and catchy vocal hook where Lynne sings "Don't bring me down, groossss" with a distorted vocal effect on the word "groossss." The song blends rock and disco elements, showcasing ELO's characteristic fusion of orchestral and electronic music.
"Don't Bring Me Down" remains a popular and iconic track from the late 1970s, and it has been featured in various films, commercials, and television shows over the years.
Evil Woman, Telephone Line, and Strange Magic are three more great ones to start with, but there's plenty more after that. You can't go wrong with anything live from Wembley Stadium.
Great ELO songs to still check out - Sweet Talking Woman - Turn to Stone - Living Thing - Do Ya - Train to London
Jeff Lynne is such an amazing talent who has written songs for more than 50 different recording artists.
Telephone Line
Sweet Talking Woman
Turn to Stone
Last Train to London (my fave)...the list goes on and on.
Thanks for checking out more ELO 🎶🎵💚
Plus: the diary of Horace Wimp.
"Calling America", "Sweet Talkin Woman", and "Turn to Stone" are all great ELO songs.
Evil Woman, Sweet Talking Woman, Telephone Line, Strange Magic, Turn To Stone just to name a few!! Every one is spectacular!
🎼Hard to believe Jeff Lynne is 76 years old now. ELO was a fabulous group of musicians. Time harbors on…
Jeff moved on and teamed up with George Harrison, Tom Petty, Bob Dylan and Roy Orbison to form the Traveling Wilburys back in 1988. Give them a good listen. You’ll love them. Legends are hard to beat.🎼☮️
ELO - has so much to explore. They were great. Brits. This actually isn't my fav of all their works but still good.
@sueprator9314 I always think that Hold On Tight is an improved version of Don't Bring Me Down
@@Kerppu68 "Hold On Tight" seems to me like a hypothetical Roy Orbison/Beatles collaboration. Don't Bring Me Down, for me, is just way too simplistic and repetitive.
Deep rabbit hole!!! Strange Magic, Mr Blue Sky, Telephone Line..,, so many greats!! 😊
You can't go wrong with ELO. ❤
Young guy continues to crack me up. Does he like anything? Completely affectless. Other two... love thier openness to new music.
Do Ya - ELO is another great classic tune from them that charted in the top 15 of the music charts in the late 70s. Love for u to react to it! Great reaction to Don’t Bring Me Down!
I'm surprised that this is their biggest song. Not my favorite. There are so many good tunes by them. This is good.
It's my favorite jam. They played this at the local skating rink.😂🙌🏾🙌🏻✨️
ELO has so many great hits!
Jeff Lynne (who comes from my home City of Birmingham, UK) is a great singer and producer. E.L.O. have loads of great songs and sound just as good live as they do on the studio versions. My favourite song of theirs is 'All Over The World' which is a happy song and there are videos with Flash Mobs dancing to it.
Genius dat man!
Great songs from this band. My favorite doesn’t get enough attention, and that’s Showdown.
Great band, thanks for covering them.
The guy with the long beard seems to have the most fun love it!
So true always grooving on ,but the one on the right always looks bored
ELO is the best band of the seventies MUSICALLY ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks for this Guys.
"E L O-Roll Over Beethoven" LIVE @ Hyde Park in London is fantastic:)
They have so many hits "Strange Magic" is an incredible song!!!
Someone might have pointed it out already, but they do sing "Bruce" now every time they perform this song. Jeff Lynne said that audience members would sing it that way so often that he just decided to go with it, rather than having to always explain what the lyric actually was
Evil Woman, Turn To Stone, Telephone Line...Great reaction!!
Mr. Blue Sky is a classic - you’ve got to react to it! The instruments are incredible. Jeff Lynn is a genius.
The LP version, not the chopped up radio version.
Hello . I am from Chile, and here in this country ,Electric Light Orchestra is known.. They have so many hits, like "Stranger","Midnight Blue" "Tightrope""Last train to London""All Over the World" R&R is King" and others. British Band Inducted into Rock Hall Of Fame
Another great video and reaction from you guys. ELO is one of my favorite bands and this is one of my favorite songs. I don't think I've ever heard an ELO song that I didn't like but other faves include: Mr Blue Sky, Evil Woman, Showdown, Turn to Stone, Last train to London, Roll over Beethoven, Livin Thing, Shine a little love, Sweet Talking Woman, Strange Magic and Rockaria.
Great band
Truly liked your reactions to most everything you throw out there. Great diversity out of you three. Love the agreements and the disagreements. You’re on the top of my list of reactors. All the best to you guys. Do some more Fleetwood Mac. It’s an amazing band.
Mr Blue Sky and Hold on Tight are also fun songs.
Since you guys like videos of songs, you should react to an awesome fan-made video where they edited together a bunch of clips from flash mobs all over the world and used the ELO hit song, *"All Over The World",* dubbed over it! You'll love the song & the video! (It's one of the happiest songs ever!)
In the hard partying 70s this was so much fun, we all knew that girl or guy. The line “I’ll tell you once more before I get off the floor “ hysterical 😂 Not my favorite but Phenomenal. That’s how good they are ,He is ☮️
Great song and great review. ELO had a couple of really big hits back in the day, and this was definitely one of them.
The song was featured in the movie Donnie Brasco (1997) in the disco nightclub scene.
Great ELO songs to still check out - Sweet Talking Woman - Turn to Stone - Telephone line - Living Thing - Do Ya - Train to London - Strange Magic
Oh shit! This is a great one! Oh I miss those days! I love you guys! Keep kicking ass!
Dudes ELO "Sweet talking woman" That's how I met my wife. She's a sweet talker
I could hang with you guys listening to tunes, having a cold brew, grilling some dead animals!! Love ya'lls channel!!
Evil Woman and Sweet Talkin Woman plus this song are my favorites
Funky is right, the beat gives the song its marching orders nd the piano makes certain no ones lagging behind...Yea `79 was when they started headlining stadium festivals of those great days of rock, keep on rockin & giddyup THIS IS IT
Don’t know your name but I watch y’all everyday. The middle dude with beard and hat I like your energy on these reactions. You don’t let your coolness get in the way of your joy 😊
I had forgotten about this song good to hear it again. I remember dancing in the 70’s.
Have had this LP since '79. Enjoy! 😎
Great. Love ELO and this song is just one my all time favorites from any band.
Try Telephone Wire or Evil Woman live at Wembley
Not sure if you guys have heard ELO's song "Showdown" yet,... if not, you gotta!!! It's my fave!!!!
Fav band. "Telephone Line" think vid live from 2019. Spectacular. 😁🎆🎶
ELO!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤
Ole ELO!
He's a Wilbury that's all you need to know.
It's great to see Kelly Groucutt in there playing bass and sharing vocals with Lynne...there are some videos on UA-cam of ELO on tour where he's playing bass and singing the operatic parts of "Rockaria" which is my favourite ELO song...
Oh man you guys got yourself a huge band with a big big catalog.. fire 🔥 🔥
I also like the song Do Ya....originally recorded by The Move before changing their name to ELO.
Jeff Lynne also a member of the Travelling Wilburys
Jeff said he didn't know the word Grouse was a german word until later.
Also Rocking Roll Is King is another great song. (IMO)
One of John Lennon's favorites in the 1970's after the breakup of the Beatles ("I love that ELO, man!), this track, to me, sounds like a Beatles track. It's got that vibe. Jeff Lynn, the lead singer of the group would later join with George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Roy Orbison, Tom Petty, and Jim Keltner (drummer on a lot of John Lennon's solo albums) to form the supergroup "The Travelling Wilburies". Jeff Lynn also worked as the producer with the three remaining former Beatles in 1995 for the Beatles Anthology project, producing from Lennon demos the new Beatles songs "Free As A Bird" and "Real Love.". They were working on "Now and Then" in those sessions, but the technology at the time did not allow them to finish that song, as Lennon's demo was recorded on a cassette tape and had a lot of condenser microphone hum and piano. Was not until Peter Jackson in the "Get Back" series that AI technology allowed the elimination of the hum and the removal of the piano Lennon was playing just to isolate his vocals that the song was allowed to be completed in November '23. It's all a long way of saying that ELO was definitely in the Beatles musical orbit. Lennon in the '70's nicknamed them, "Sons of the Beatles."
Please spell his name correctly, it's disrespectful not to.
ELO was friends of and greatly inspired by the Beatles. This song is similar to an old Beatles’ tune worth checking out- You Can’t Do That. ❤
Yes, Diva, if you've not heard ELO's song, "Mister Kingdom", check it out, I'm certain you'll immediately recognize The Beatles classic which inspired it.
Last Train to London has a great groove.
Telephone Line - the same performance at Wembley as the video of Livin’ Thing that you reacted to.
Amazing Band❤
Shine a little love and last train to London are also on this album and are funky as fxck!! Keep your great reactions coming guys, peace and love from the 🇬🇧❤️🇺🇸
Im so dead 😂 " it's from a apple bees commercial yo"😭
Don’t forget “One Summer Dream”.
That's a slightly different recording than I'm used to hearing. Ollie and Fenom taught me something new, about the song that I never knew. I always thought they were saying "Bruce" and now I know what they're actually saying, what it means, and why it's in there.
Don't bring me down, groos
Hi guys, I'm surprised, going through the 70's songs you reached to, that you haven't posted the song Black Betty by Ram Jam, go for it!
You better check on buddy on the right (with the hoodie), he has been sneezing through the whole reaction, hope he is OK . good reaction😉
This reminds of the skating rink in the late 70s!! Great memories!!
Super funk. Love it. Always have. You guys make it fun.
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣”DEBBIE DOWNER” STRIKES AGAIN!!! ❤😊❤😊❤😊❤
Telephone line will blow your mind 😅
My favorite ELO song is their cover of Chuck Berry's Roll Over Beethoven. It's my favorite cover of the song as well, The Beatles are second.
There’s so many songs you should check out, but you should absolutely check out telephone line and last train to London
Very Disco
Great Band
"All Over The World" by ELO
🔥🔥🔥
My jam!
ELO - Mr Blue Sky….
I agree with others, check out Telephone Line, Strange Magic, and Evil Woman.
Jeff Lynne was a genius.... a factory, but all quality. Try Mr Blue Sky... It's one of the best, and different.
Not Bruce it's grrruse just a sound. Guess he didn't bother to think up a word. Big hit here in Canada
Telephone Line is a great song.
The lead singer Jeff lynne died in 2023 RIP Jeff ELO was my favourite band when I was growing up especially this song I also liked breakfast in America Jeff Lynne also played in a group called the travelling wilburys made up of George Harrison from the Beatles Tom petty from Tom petty and the heartbreakers bob Dylan and JeffLynne from ELO or electric light orchestra
Um, Jeff is still very much alive, I don’t know where you got your information from but he’s still on planet earth
@@Bassjohn1968I knew I hadn’t heard that and I was disturbed I looked it up! He is indeed still breathing!
New subscriber, love the reaction to ELO !! Please consider reacting to “ Fire on High” from the ELO album “ Face the Music”. You’ll be blown away!!!
Telephone Line next please ❤
Check out fire on high by ELO ,guarantee you've heard it on sports broadcasts
"Don't bring me down" by the Animals next?
Play any ELO song and it will be fire. They don't have any bad song.
👍
Sounds like maybe the drums were coming back through one of your mics, guys. Made for some bizarre delay.
geoff lindsey, funny dude
Middle gut gets it. 🤫😎
"Mr Blue Sky" please
If you chaps want to have a good time, react to Tainted Love covered by Broken Peach 🍑!
This was before artists knew how to make music videos 😂
Gruß! (Greetings) Never knew that they used a German word here. LIebe Grüße aus Deutschland!
Well, Never knew more than most of us, until we watched this video.
Someone said it was a entrances song for a tag team Rock and Roll express don't know if it true or not
for me, 'Midnight Blue' is one of their best! Oh, they were singing "Brusque" as in Curt, hurtful, sharply spoken.
Nope, they were singing, "Grooooos!", a word Jeff made up with the intention of changing it later, but it grew on him so he left it in the final recording.
....the debate continues....!@@Cosmo-Kramer
@@swanvictor887 There is no debate. It's, 'Groooos". Period. Jeff has confirmed it. The only deviation from that is that fans thought he was singing the man's name, "Bruuuuuuce", and when Jeff heard them all singing that instead of, "Grooooos", he also began singing it as, "Bruuuuuuce", in live concerts. But what's on the studio version has never changed, it's, "Grooooos". And quite frankly, in all my years of hearing people discuss this, I've not once -- 'til now -- heard *anyone* say he was singing, "Brusque". Good Lord. smh
wow...amazed you took the time, but hey ho. Not that I care, but 'Brusque' is a word that fits with the sentiment of the song. Have a nice day.@@Cosmo-Kramer
@@swanvictor887 I accept your apology.
It's bouncing about outta sync guys like a shocking DJ mix😂
Aaaaaand I'm 14 again lol.
Rosanna next❤

ELO has some great stuff, this isn't one of them, I had all their stuff in the day it's ok but their catalog is so much deeper. Telephone line the ultimate break up wanna jump off a bridge song!! Lol
What’s with the sound?
