ELO - All Over The World (Mirror Ball's Gladiator Remix) from Xanadu

"All Over the World" is a song by the Electric Light Orchestra (ELO). It is featured in the 1980 feature film Xanadu in a sequence with the film's stars Olivia Newton-John, Gene Kelly, and Michael Beck. The song also appears on the soundtrack album Xanadu, and was performed as well in the 2007 Broadway musical Xanadu. Electric Light Orchestra - All Over The World [Single/Album Version] In the songs lyrics, the names of several big cities are named, including Tokyo, London, Paris, L.A., Rio and New York. One of the cities named is Shard End, which is not really one of the big international cities, but rather Jeff Lynne's birthplace and where he spent his childhood in the Shard End section of Birmingham, England. "...I love commercial music! ...I like pop records. I like Olivia Newton-John singing Magic, and Donna Summer singing whatever the hell it is she'll be singing. I like the ELO singing All Over the World. ...I just enjoy it! That's the kind of music I like to hear." John Lennon (September 17 1980 - Newsweek magazine) Editor's Note: John Lennon may have been talking about Showdown here, a song which he has praised in the past that has the lyric 'all over the world' prominently in the lyrics. The French line in the song, "C'est la vie avez vous coup of tea," translates to "such is life, so have a bit of tea." "ELO needed confidence booster, another big hit. They nearly got it with All Over The World (JET 195). Again, nothing was left to chance, and in addition to the usual 7-inch in p/s, there was a blue vinyl 10-inch in a similar cut-out sleeve to the Xanadu single, although the picture of Livvy's face was substituted by... erm... the ELO motif (have these people no shame?). Saturation airplay of what was probably the most commercial track on the LP saw it rise to No. 11 in August, remaining in the charts for a respectable two months. B-side was Discovery's worst track (to these ears, anyway!), Midnight Blue. On the 7-inch at least, the label design reverted to the yellow JET '21st Century Fox' logo. A standard 7-inch in p/s is worth about £3.50, and the 10-inch version about £10-12." Unknown (1992 - Face The Music fanzine #12) "After the moody introspection of the two previous numbers, All Over The World's fake party noises come as a bit of an interruption. The obvious hit, it threw in all the production tricks then known by Jeff; sound effects, whipcrack drum intro's, gimmicky keyboards, spray on multi-layered harmonies and pun laden lyrics (such as listing Jeff's birthplace Shard End amongst such cosmopolitan cities as New York, London, Paris and Rome!). Whilst it's certainly effective from a distance, on closer inspection the sheer amount of artifice leaves the song curiously lifeless. It's a bit like scratching the paintwork of a Maserati and finding a Mini underneath." Unknown (1992 - Face The Music fanzine #12) "The song All Over The World contains a French sung line, which was 'C'est la vie avez vous coup of tea'." Patrik Guttenbacher, Marc Haines, & Alexander von Petersdorff (1996 Unexpected Messages) "One of the best moments of the film could be the trip to the shopping mall to buy clothes for the inaugural night of club Xanadu. Our three lovely protagonists hop, skip, and dance their way through Danny McGuire's by-the-numbers musical transformation montage. Set to ELO's All Over the World, however, the sequence becomes haphazard in the friendliest sense. Riffing through some of the most cheesy transitional effects ever set to film, All Around the World imbues the scene with a pomp that makes every thrown together shot in the mall less cringe-worthy than it otherwise would be." Nate De Young (October 28, 2005 - Stylus online magazine's A Kiss After Supper article) "It would be easy to dimiss this as a rehash, but the saving grace to this new collection (under the supervision of ELO mastermind Jeff Lynne) is the inclusion of All Over the World, one of ELO's best ever (and underr
