Duckworth Lewis Method - Mr.Blue Sky

[@ryeseagull]

Neil has long acknowledged the influence of the mighty E-L-O

[@doublezwynne]

If you like them, they are a project by two bands joining together, The Divine Comedy and Pugwash, both excellent Irish bands. Check out Pugwash if you're an ELO fan..legends!

[@MiniTheVinx]

What? They're both Irish? How come they're cricket obsessives? And more to the point, why are they praying for blue sky? Our batsmen can't even score when the sun's out. Might as well pray for cloud cover and hope the swing bowlers do the biz. Oh, it's 2010. When we did have batsmen who could make hay under clear blue skies. I've forgotten what that feels like. I'm sad now. Hope the WIndies hammer us.

[@MrDarbuck]

I will continue to play this song on a daily basis until we get our summer

[@swarlock]

Awesome!

[@RonanDonovan007]

Great song.And pugwash and Divine comedy are excellent and together they're excellent! I used to like podge and rodge too in the early days :P

[@Neasab]

Thanks so much for putting this up =] I Heard they were on Podge and Rodge but i missed it =/ =] Thanks again X

[@Rallemann1966]

AWESOME!! I love it!

[@dakotahblu]

how is it that I just heard this now? A favorite song covered so well by DLM? I doubt my prayers will be heard but please come play in the usa, my flights to see you have gotten to costly. Please?

[@pauljones5066]

perfect!

[@futsal1958]

Utter brilliance

[@harvestjet]

Thanks for posting, brill :-)

[@alanpadg1960]

I think this song influenced "Meeting Mr Miandad!

[@gerardmccavana4905]

Brilliant

[@Abalue]

Neil Hannon is also a big ELO fan

[@glasspocketband]

Ace!

[@mahumsofithuslik3066]

They had 20 minutes to learn the song as part of the show. Legends

[@maddietaylor3956]

😲😲😲

[@erikhertzer8434]

Its The Divine Pug Comedy Wash...

[@garymaher]

I bet the hardest part about playing that is refraining from going into the coda of Concerto For A Rainy Day at the end...

[@AlmostAnimixers]

I wish I liked cricket enough to get into the Duckworth Lewis Method.

[@Carmen-ze3wo]

+Nick Ferrazza As someone with only a limited understanding the game I still managed to enjoy the songs enough to buy both albums. I probably googled one or two things in the songs such as who Mr Miandad actually was, but unless you already have try anyway.

[@iangarrard390]

Watch it and fall in love.

[@jamesbarbour8400]

Don't have to like cricket to enjoy DLM - their songs are catchy, clever and very well constructed

[@WilliamSmith-mx6ze]

Why on earth is there a picture of de Valera looking down from the back?

[@101Volts]

Pretty nice, I'm not sure if the original had drums or not but this works nicely!

[@tonygibbs3143]

It definitely did have drums on the ELO original, played by the great Bev Bevan.

[@reetpeet]

I think Tosh gets top points on this particular performance!

[@RezotSA]

That would be epic! Admittedly, they'd be playing it backwards if they started with Mr Blue Sky..

[@Boris620]

Иногда обходятся без ударника, но качество исполнения не теряют. Медали ELO им в помощь!!!

[@mahumsofithuslik3066]

Yes. They are the lads who used to be Zig and Zag and who perpetrated Dustin the turkey upon us, may god forgive them...

[@didoma73]

Are you serious....jeez....I'm gonna need half a year alone to just learn this on piano.

[@ClichéGuevara-2814]

They hit that for 6.

[@TheActualCathal]

The guy in the shades looks like Mitch Hedberg

[@gilwood7530]

Too funny...are we really that old ???

[@endrizo]

Tom walsh from pugwash

[@JB-742]

Almost up there with the Lily Allen version 😂

[@tokilladaemon]
