    "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.

    🎼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.🎼☮️

    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.

    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."

      @@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".
