A shame they couldn't replicate the animated fish ballet onstage, though.

Would that not make your soda funky? <br><br>I have passed up buying this album out of the vinyl bins at the last remaining music store in the county and don't know why. I'm a big ELO fan and Olivia does have a way of making me salute the land down under... Wait, that sounds wrong... Anyway, maybe I'll have to face the stigma of bringing this one up to the cute checkout girl. Can there truly be a hot cube? Would that not make your soda funky?

I loved ON-J way too much back then, and harbored as much ill-advised adoration for this song as for all the others from Xanadu. I had forgotten about it completely, though ... so thanks. OMG!
