Why it is here
- It is Electric Light Orchestra's highest-charting hit in the United States and their biggest hit there, peaking at number 4 on the Billboard Hot 100. source
- It was the first ELO single to drop the band's signature string section, a deliberate change urged by engineer Reinhold Mack who told Jeff Lynne to "just boogie out for a night." source
- The drum track is built from a tape loop lifted from "On the Run," slowed down and sped up, showing an unusual studio trick behind the song's driving beat. source
