Jeff Lynne has explained that he is singing a made-up word, "Grooss", which some have suggested sounds like the German expression "Gruß," meaning "greeting." Lynne has explained that originally he did not realize the meaning of the syllable, and he just used it as a temporary placekeeper to fill a gap in the lyrics, but upon learning the German meaning he decided to leave it in. After the song's release, so many people had misinterpreted the word as "Bruce" that Lynne actually began to sing the word as "Bruce" for fun at live shows. ELO engineer Reinhold Mack remembers the term differently, stating that Lynne was actually singing "Bruce" as a joke in advance of an Australian tour "referring to how many Australian guys are called Bruce

I’ve been trying to pinpoint what it is about reaction videos, certain ones in particular that people watch over and over. Subscribe to, check every day, etc. At first I thought it was just the reactors really loving a song and being moved by the same things I like. But now, I’ve followed different reactors and kind of stuck on your channel because you like the music I like, and it’s nice to see someone else like the same things. It makes us feel part of something bigger. That’s a small portion of why going to concerts is such a church-like experience for me. Validation is a nice part of watching reaction videos, but it’s much more than that. I think in our busy lives we are not as connected to other people as we used to be. We don’t have the time anymore to just sit and chat with people and listen to music together and talk about it. I used to do that when I was younger. “Did you hear that line said about...” and “Yeah, but did you notice that guitar riff?!” “Last year when I listened to that I was going through a breakup...” “I used to sing this in my room after an argument with my parents/boss”, etc. We used to just sit and enjoy things and contemplate together and songs were an avenue to open up about those things that we normally wouldn’t have just brought up in conversation. I think a lot of us have lost that because of our busy work/parenting schedules, and YOU, Jamel, helped bring it back. You are very real and personable. Do you know how many times I’ve almost talked at my screen at you? It’s like you’re here in my living room. Anyway, sorry this is so long. I needed to type it out and maybe some others have noticed the same thing. ✌🏼

E.L.O. stands for "Electric Light Orchestra", which is the name of the band. They were so well-known that everyone just knew them by their initials! 😁 It is a pleasure watching you get acquainted with them. 💜

I've liked this song ever since I first heard it in 1979. But this is the first time I've seen this video, or that I've even seen ELO performing.

@Mike Loomis Showdown wasn't from their first album, it's from On The Third Day, their THIRD album, ELO's first album was called Electric Light Orchestra, their second album was Electric Light Orchestra 2 (or No Answer in America)

@@Gabbaghoull Because they do not like disco or funk music. But this song is a worldwide hit club. Look the views : over 50M for "Last Train to London" and 2M for this song he react to. So why? Maybe you will have an explanation? No... I have one : hit of the hit. 😁😁😁

Jamel, The lead singer is Jeff Lynn, he was also in the travelling Wilburies with George Harrison, and Tom Petty. You should really check and react to the video for while my guitar gently weeps, at the George Harrison tribute concert, especially as Prince does the most amazing guitar solo

Here's the story of the "Bruce Lyric line. Don’t Bring Me Down” for the Electric Light Orchestra’s 1979 album, Discovery, Jeff Lynne discovered that he had unwittingly caused confusion with one of the song’s throwaway lyrics. As he explained on the VH1 series Storytellers: “You know that little daft bit in there that goes [unintelligible]. I just made it up in the studio. It was actually ‘groose,’ which happens to mean something. The engineer was German and he said ‘How did you know that word?’ And I said: ‘What word?’ And he said ‘Groose… it means greetings in German.’ I said: “That’s good… I’ll leave it in.” He continues: “We started going on tour and every time we played it everyone used to sing ‘Bruce,’ so I said ‘Ah, f*ck it, I’ll sing Bruce as well’!

ELO has always been among the upper echelons of the most amazing rock-n-rollers on the planet. In this song - I can't say for sure but I always believed em to be saying Groose, rather than Bruce. As in just making a sound rather than a name. Back in the day when I first heard them - I was totally blown away! I'm glad you picked this one to react to

I saw ELO in the’80’s opening for Journey in Norman Oklahoma. They busted out the speakers on the first song. Broke my heart. But Journey was amazing. Just wish I’d gotten a good show with ELO. Good band 🥰👍
